Description:
Due to fast changes in the economic environment enterprises face numerous
external as well as internal challenges which in turn require effective
governance and coordination of internal but also intercorporate business
processes. Therefore, the successful implementation, adoption, and use of
suitable software systems are essential for coping with these challenges.
These systems have to be easily adjustable to allow fast reactions to
continuous business changes. As a consequence there is a huge demand for
adaptable enterprise software. This especially applies to enterprise
resource planning (ERP) systems as fully integrated and comprehensive
solutions for supporting business processes on a company-wide level.
However, a tendency towards more architectural flexibility regarding
enterprise systems and also a certain rejection of strongly integrated
approaches can be observed. Today, enterprises increasingly aim to support
individual business areas with separate area- or task-specific systems. This
results, despite past efforts towards system consolidation, in heterogeneous
and complex software landscapes consisting of different software system
types and components (e.g., CRM, SRM, SCM or function-oriented components)
with challenging integration requirements. Additionally, managing these
landscapes becomes more demanding because powerful end user tools and
decentralized development of functionality not being part of the official
corporate IT (Shadow IT) bring in different strands of technology
(operational systems vs. groupware/social media). The possibility of running
systems in the cloud (software on demand, software as a service) widens the
range of options to become more flexible. However, benefitting from these
possibilities and chances is not a trivial task and calls for new management
approaches such as Lean IT or Two-Speed-IT Management.
Despite the experience of several decades, implementation-, adjustment- or
integration-projects on the company-level still heavily strain the entire
company and its resources as they imply severe intrusions into the
enterprises´ structures and processes. Changes resulting from these projects
possibly affect the corporate culture or even necessitate cultural change as
well. Thus, a comprehensive and well-designed project management embedded in
long-term transformation approaches still is an essential component of any
significant change in the enterprise system landscape.
This mini-track aims to discuss different facets and characteristics of the
transformation of traditional enterprise software systems and the resulting,
changing requirements towards enterprise structures and cultures as well as
related project and IT management topics. We intend to discuss both
substantial and technological problems as well as their effect on future
developments of enterprise software with interested researchers, software
developers and user groups.
