        abstract = {The increasing adoption of cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI) systems has transformed operational practices of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). However, empirical research focusing on software SMEs located in tier-II cities remains limited. This study addresses this research gap by examining the performance impact of cloud-based ERP and BI adoption among software SMEs in the Nagpur region. Grounded in the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework, the study adopts a mixed-method approach involving two case studies and a survey of 38 software firms. Quantitative findings reveal notable improvements in project tracking accuracy (average increase of 36%), billing accuracy (33%), and a reduction in financial closure time (54%), all statistically significant at the 5 percent level. The novelty of this research lies in its region-specific empirical evidence and theoretical integration, offering insights into how contextual factors influence digital transformation outcomes},
