Abstract
South Africa is one of the nations in Africa that has contributed to the mining industry due to the mineral substances found within the nation. However, the current enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that is used in the mining sector dramatically impacts the way gold mines function and their effectiveness. Most of South African Gold Mines are still using old cloud-based ERP system. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the implementation of cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) within the South African gold mining industries by looking at the variables that influence the move from a conventional or traditional ERP framework to a cloud-based framework. The study identified the factors affecting the effective implementation of cloud-based ERP system including cyber threat, cost of deployment, flexibility, more space storage, time and shortage of highly skilled local worker force. This chapter recommends that a hybrid strategy incorporating a cloud-based ERP system with the support services system would be beneficial.
