Open source approach to software development has been used to develop the so-called ‘horizontal infrastructure’ software such as databases and application servers. However, there is an increasing acceptance of open source approach for developing business applications like enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Indeed, organizations are building business models around ERP and similar business application developed using open source. In this chapter, the authors analyze the business model of one such open source ERP and explain increasing importance of software licensing and partner networks in FOS-ERP business models.

Study Approach

This chapter explores the role of SAP (a leading enterprise resource planning [ERP] system) in enabling knowledge management (KM) practice at a research university as a KM tool. A qualitative case study approach is pursued to achieve a rich and in-depth understanding of this organizational phenomenon. KM is understood by the university as consisting of four phases: knowledge creation, knowledge storage, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application. This study finds that the use of SAP system enables the process of knowledge management within the case organization through several means including idea generation, prime repository of knowledge, sharing workflow information, and facilitating decision making. Based on empirical evidence, this case provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of SAP systems in supporting KM process, which contributes to the theoretical domains of both ERP system and KM. This study provides guidelines for practitioners to create strategies for successful KM practice in concert with to the development of IT strategy.

ERP-Enterprise Resource Planning is an advanced management tool, which can provide effective service for enterprise purchasing manufacturing, marketing and goods circulation etc. The fast changes of market and drastic competition between enterprises request ERP system can support enterprise Business Process Reengineering and reconstructed business process. This paper analyzes the disadvantages of traditional ERP system, the request of Business Process Reengineering, then brings forward a workflow based method for analyzing, building, developing and executing ERP system. The research of this thesis is built on J2EE application platform, the application model, component implementing and work mechanism of workflow in ERP system.

This qualitative exploratory case study explores strategies and mitigating actions for successful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations. The research was conducted in a Canadian case organization in the oil and gas industry, using a semi-structured interview guide with a total of twenty interviews that includes members from four project role groups of senior leaders, project managers, project team members, and business users. For triangulation purposes, the study used interview responses and also ERP project documentation collected for the purpose. The research highlighted several strategies and mitigating actions that can be put in use by organizations. The key themes that emerged as effective strategies include having the right people for support and guidance from experts, change management, clear communications, hands-on training, lots of testing, and risk management. The study also provided evidence that adopting strategies can help overcome critical challenges during ERP implementations.

Programming Interfaces

All software today is written using application programming interfaces (APIs). We performed a user study of the online documentation of a large and complex API for Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (eSOA), which identified many issues and recommendations for making API documentation easier to use. eSOA is an appropriate testbed because the target users include high-level business experts who do not have significant programming expertise and thus can be classified as “end-user developers.” Our study showed that the participants’ background influenced how they navigated the documentation. Lack of familiarity with business terminology was a barrier for developers without business application experience. Both groups avoided areas of the documentation that had an inconsistent visual design. A new design for the documentation that supports flexible navigation strategies seems to be required to support the wide range of users for eSOA. This paper summarizes our study and provides recommendations for future documentation for APIs.

Trusted Data

As the oil and gas industry comes under increasing pressure from government, activist groups and society on carbon offsetting, a trend that is building is the disclosure of consistent, comparable and reliable data. As companies develop their abatement plans, it is critical that the accounting and reporting of activities are made transparent or companies risk not achieving the social license to operate they are aiming to build. This proposal will discuss the opportunity for operators to use blockchain to digitise the information and processes that operate between unincorporated joint ventures, companies and third parties they deal with – customers, suppliers, government and society. At its heart, blockchain is a distributed ledger that offers the potential to make processes between companies more efficient through standardised processes and trusted data; in the same way companies have implemented internal Enterprise Resource Planning systems to achieve this goal within their own entities. The current landscape of systems and processes has been set up to optimise internally, but when processes cross company boundaries, they execute via email and analogue processes. Gartner predicts that by 2030 $3.1 trillion of goods and services will be tracked by blockchain technology. This is a technology that will revolutionise supply chains and company-to-company interactions. The energy sector has embraced contractors and suppliers who support engineering, operations, maintenance, services and supply of parts. Blockchain is therefore a technology that offers great opportunity in optimising in-bound supply chain and increasingly will be required to communicate on their outbound product with more transparent and trusted data enabled by blockchain technology.

Integrating design and operating envelopes of an asset with live operations data allows operators to see exceedances in real time and precisely understand the health of their asset. This technology is a direct stem of the rapidly growing digitalisation philosophy of many operators, whereby data that have traditionally been locked in PDF documents, Excel spreadsheets and other silos can be digitised, structured and connected to many different end points. For asset integrity monitoring, this means digitising and integrating design envelopes, data historians, enterprise resource planning systems and calculation tools with a unified front-end visualisation, to display what is really happening on an asset. By integrating and visualising these data sources, it is possible to create a single location for monitoring the health of all operator assets and generating reports for continued assessment. Once established, the platform provides a base for deployment of other intelligent toolkits, such as pattern recognition for valve signature monitoring, or predictive modelling for corrosion management over the life of field. This extended abstract uses a case study to discuss the benefits of standardising the visualisation landscape for monitoring the health of assets, the improvements and efficiencies delivered to the integrity monitoring process, the ability to highlight flaws in the design envelopes, and the engineering required to ensure that the right instrument is monitoring the right equipment.
