Abstract
Organizations implement Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems with the objective of reaching operational efficiency and the incorporation to new markets through the information flow control on time of the entire organization. However, ERP systems are complex tools, mainly for the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). For these reason, new ERP configurations have arisen for SMEs such as Open Source Software-ERP (OSS-ERP). OSS-ERP is a research topic barely analyzed by the literature. Specifically, this paper�s aim is to focus on the OSS-ERP users� acceptance and use. The authors have developed a research model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for testing the users� behavior toward OSS-ERP.
