Abstract :
Although Blockchain can significantly change the future of ERP systems as an innovative
tech-nology, few researchers have gone into the details of this development. Most have given
an overview of the changes ahead. Therefore, in this research, we have tried to use the method
of Exploratory Content Analysis (ECA) by reviewing more than three hundred scientific
articles in the field of Blockchain to analyze the effects of this technology on ERP system
modules such as supply chain management, maintenance, finance, project management,
manufacturing, and hu-man capital management. The result of this exploratory research is an
architectural model for a blockchain-based ERP system. The researchers describe the
functions of this system carefully, and the role of supporting technologies such as Smart
Contract, IoT, Digital Wallet, Cloud Com-puting, and Building Information Model is
clarified. We genuinely believe that this research could use as a reference model for ERP
vendors and researchers in information systems and business process management.
