**************************************************************************** *** 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.
