Testing was conducted through structural equation modelling, utilizing data from 558 web\u2010surveyed firms in Portugal and Spain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Full sample analysis finds that competitive pressure, training, best\u2010practices, compatibility, and efficiency are important antecedents of \u201cERP use\u201d. Together with usage, collaboration and analytics capabilities contribute to \u201cERP value\u201d. Cross\u2010country analysis reveals that complexity is an important inhibitor for \u201cERP use\u201d in Portuguese firms whereas it is a facilitator for Spanish firms. In addition, while for Portuguese firms, compatibility and efficiency are significant, they are not for Spanish firms. For \u201cERP value\u201d, while use and collaboration are more important for Portuguese firms, analytics is more important for Spanish.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper provides insight into how SMEs use and value ERP; however, the authors cannot speak empirically on the issue of whether value is sustained, or on maturity stages, or on the impact of different industries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper describes the first empirical research study on Iberian SMEs, thus adding a cross\u2010country dimension to the innovation diffusion literature.
