Grounded in the resource-based view (RBV), our research examines how these capabilities evolve over a five-year period (2015 to 2020) and jointly influence ERP value. The empirical evidence confirms that each capability exerts a positive effect on ERP value, yet their impact differs notably over time. Specifically, while analytics and routinization exhibit a gradual decrease in importance, collaboration experiences a marked decline if not actively maintained. These results highlight the need for consistent investments in daily ERP usage, coordinated cross-functional collaboration, and data-driven decision-making in order to maximize and sustain ERP value.engERPAnalyticsCollaborationRoutinizationIT ValueLongitudinal studySDG 8 - Decent work and economic growthSDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructureSDG 12 - Responsible production and consumptionA longitudinal study of ERP system capabilities and valuemaster thesis204074177
