Abstract

This document reflects the current state-of the-art in Enterprise Systems and introduces a number of open issues and challenges from a research point of view. We present a reconstructed perspective on Enterprise Systems based on a research framework characterized by the three dimensions of multi-phase, multi-entity and multi-package with an underlying meta-theoretical approach following the notion of sociomateriality. Based on this framework, we articulate the research vision of the Enterprise Systems research group at the University of Mannheim. Furthermore, we provide an overview on our current research organized in the three research areas of “Software Product Development and Management”, “Individual Perspective on Enterprise Systems” and “Value-Augmented Enterprise Systems” investigating the entire Enterprise Systems phenomenon from different viewpoints of the introduced research framework.
