IT infrastructures: a Managerial and Technical Perspective"

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects appear to be a dream coming true. ERP is an integrated software solution to manage an organisation's core business and information processing needs. It supports a process-oriented view of the business and increases the efficiency and effectiveness of enterprise-wide as well as inter-enterprise business processes. ERP projects have the Herculean task of seamlessly supporting and integrating a full range of business processes, uniting functional islands and making their data visible across the organisation in real time.
Though ERP is a packaged software solution, most of the current research addresses managerial, social, and organisational issues during ERP implementation and use. Less emphasis is being given to the technical challenges and issues during the ERP implementation. This special issue bridges this gap by focusing on the challenges and opportunities during the ERP implementation including both project management and technical perspective. Specifically, it addresses the:
- Information technology (IT) infrastructures for ERP and its related technologies
- Technical requirements and software engineering solutions for the ERP implementation.
This special issue seeks to provide a viaduct between those conducting research on managerial and technical surface of ERP.
