AMCIS 2013 CFP Mini-Track: Current
Trends in
ERP
Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013
Deadline for submissions: 22nd of
February
2013
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from
large monolithic
systems installed on premise to more and more fragmented
systems, distributing
just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data,
hardware
and infrastructure. With the emergence of service-oriented
architectures
(SOA), ERP functionality has become available as
software-as-a-service
(SaaS), provided on-demand to clients via the Internet.
This change has gone hand in hand with
the
incorporation of more and more business functionality. In
addition, ERP-related
solutions such as SCM, SRM and CRM have been integrated,
embedded or closely
coupled with the ERP on-demand services. Mobile access to ERP
via
smartphones and tablets has created new challenges. Technologies
such as
(RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to
act and
react in real-time. For the new technologies to be successfully
implemented,
security issues need to be resolved, and a satisfactory level of
trust
in the technologies has to be created.
The rationale of this minitrack is
exploration
of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource
planning.
Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of
concept are
welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to
the business
value of the proposed approaches or solutions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Service-oriented architecture
(SOA) and other
architectures for ERP
- ERP-as-a-service, i.e.
software-as-a-service
(SaaS) solutions for ERP
- Impact of virtualization and
infrastructure-as-a-service
on ERP
- ERP for small and medium-size
enterprises
- Integrating ERP and Office
solutions
- Integrating RFID solutions with
ERP
- Impact of the "Internet of
things"
on future ERP systems
- Integrating legacy ERP systems
with state-of-the-art
components
- Mobile ERP and related areas
(e.g. mobile
SCM, mobile CRM, mobile SRM)
- Security issues and trust in new
technologies
for enterprise resource planning
- Emerging technologies and tools
that enhance
Enterprise Systems
- Integration of collaboration and
social networking
technologies with Enterprise Systems
- Social) Business process
modelling tools
that help in modelling Enterprise Systems processes
- Solutions that leverage
Enterprise Systems
and real-time data analytics
- Technology challenges in
implementing and
managing Enterprise Systems solutions that leverage the
latest technology
trends
