Enterprise Resource Planning

Discussion: ERP Architectures

Enterprises are mostly comprised of many applications that are either custom-built, acquired from a third party, or are from a legacy system. You work for an organization that has a combination of all three of these applications. This obviously presents an integration challenge as you prepare to recommend an ERP architecture.

    • Discuss how you would analyze and provide a recommendation on the type of ERP architecture to use in your organization.
    • Discuss what is necessary for the ERP implementation to be successful and the different types of ERP architectures.
    • In response to your peers, explore the impact of service-oriented architecture, as well as other architectures, on ERP systems.
