This study presents a detailed case analysis focusing on the intricacies involved in preparing a project for implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, aimed at the comprehensive, phased digitalization of resource management and the operations of territorial communities. The urgency of transitioning to a more effective audit and management system for all types of resources in territorial communities is underscored by the current absence of specialized information systems designed for these specific tasks. The authors demonstrate that deploying ERP systems to manage the diverse activities of territorial communities represents a complex, yet innovative solution. Specifically, a Four-Phase Model for implementing each segment of the project have been adopted. Drawing from the extensive experience of university researchers involved in consulting for numerous territorial communities across Ukraine, this work develops principles for constructing main elements for the project. Special emphasis is placed on the careful selection of software to facilitate project activities.
