Dear colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to our minitrack (Enterprise
Systems – Integration and Transformation Challenges in the Era of
Digitalization: Managerial and Technological Perspectives) at the
27th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2021).
We are looking forward to an interesting and enriching conference!
Best regards,
Christian Leyh.

Virtual Conference
*** Track:
Enterprise System (SIG EntSys)
*** Minitrack:
Enterprise Systems – Integration and Transformation Challenges in
the Era of Digitalization: Managerial and Technological
Perspectives
*** Minitrack Chairs: Dr. Christian Leyh and Marko Ott; Technische
Universität Dresden; Chair of Information Systems, esp. IS in
Manufacturing and Commerce
*** Minitrack 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, integration 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 well as to new disruptive
technologies that emerge within digitization processes. 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 and digitalization 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 like machine learning systems or
large-scale databases) with challenging integration requirements.
With powerful end-user tools and emerging disrupting technologies
(like cloud computing, financial technologies (FinTech), internet
of things (IoT) and service-oriented architecture (SOA)) at hand
managing these landscapes that encompass totally different strands
of technology becomes even more demanding.
However, benefitting from these chances and new technologies calls
for new management and integration approaches. 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. Thus, a
comprehensive and well-designed project management embedded in
long-term (digital) transformation approaches still is an
essential component of any significant change in the enterprise
system landscape.
This minitrack aims to discuss various facets and characteristics
of enterprise system transformation in the light of digital
disruption and the resulting integration challenges caused by new
technologies such as cloud computing, IoT or FinTech. Therefore,
we invite papers (empirical and theoretical) that examine those
topics from technological, organizational or managerial
perspectives.
*** Potential paper topics (but not limited to): • Enterprise
systems and business processes supported by cloud computing
• Blockchain-based financial (FinTech) and trust services
integrated within enterprise systems
• Enterprise systems and internet of things (IoT) services
• Issues around ERP on demand, ERP‐as‐a‐service, ERP in the cloud,
Mobile ERP
• Management of the software development process during an
enterprise system implementation in a cloud environment
• Enterprise infrastructure shifts due to digital disruption
• Critical success and failure factors, risk management in
enterprise system implementation and integration projects •
Cross‐company integration of enterprise systems
• Effects of technological innovations (such as in memory
computing)
• Benefits, Barriers, Costs of FinTech /SOA / cloud technology
• ERP and/or FinTech / SOA / Cloud case studies
• Organizational, political, and cultural barriers related with
ERP/ Fin Tech/ SOA/ cloud computing adoption
• New project or IT management approaches in the context of
enterprise system landscapes (i.e. Lean IT management)
