Abstract
There are many complains around sustainability of the benefits of Insurance ERP implementations in Sri Lanka. The reason is mainly due to lack of expected benefits from these implementations and declining the initially acquired benefits. There could not find any related study in Sri Lankan context. Consequently this research was recognized. This paper describes how to sustain the expected benefits from Insurance ERP implementations in Sri Lanka from the implementation perspective. The outcome would guide prospective implementers and a way to mitigate the risk of huge investments they make. It has three main aims. Firstly to identify important factors that influences gaining sustainable value from such implementations. Secondly find the degree of criticality of such factors for post implementation success and value addition. Finally formulate a guideline to facilitate implementations.
