One of the causes of ERP failure in construction companies is fact that the implementation of this system requires a major organizational change. The objective of this research work is to identify how the implementation of the ERP system impacts the organization and managerial processes of construction companies. It was based on a survey with a sample of Brazilian construction companies. Data were collected through a questionnaire sent by email to two groups of companies: with and without ERP systems. By using the statistical discriminant analysis, it was possible to identify the variables related to the level of development of managerial processes and organizational characteristics that most distinguish those two groups. The results show that ERP implementation impacts on the variables of organizational maturity in the following aspects: strategic vision, customer relationship management, human resources, financial management and IT.
