Enterprise resource planning systems are considered as a key to gain competitive advantage and excellence. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of enterprise resource planning systems as a teaching tool on the quality of teaching process. For the said purpose the available literature over ERP in general and its impact on higher educational institutions has been reviewed. Based on literature four variables have been identified which are supposed to be critical for gaining advantages from the implementation of enterprise resource planning systems as a teaching tool. For the said purpose, the questionnaire was developed, and the data was collected randomly. A sample of 100 was utilized for conducting the analysis. Smart PLS was used for structural equation modelling and the model has been analyzed. The findings of the study revealed that all the independent variables namely, perceived usefulness, awareness, ease flow of data, and facilitating conditions have a significant impact over the teaching quality. The calculated value of Construct Cross Validated Redundancy showed that model has a significant predictive relevance. The findings are significant for teaching staff, top management and for the policy makers in higher educational institutions. The future researchers are guided to identify the pre- and post-impact of enterprise resource planning systems as a teaching tool over the teaching process and quality of learning outcomes within higher educational institutes.
