The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the open operating system (OS) application MindSphere in digital transformation of high-tech enterprises. The theoretical part of the article notes that nowadays digital transformation already has a huge impact on various aspects of business, such as strategy, partner management, production, pricing, sales, promotion, and organizational structure. The main task of the MindSphere platform is to provide fast and cost-effective connection of the equipment fleet, data collection, and analysis in order to obtain significant production and business results. The MindSphere platform integrates all data sources: Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Quality Management Systems (QMS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Internet of Things (IOT) into one analysis center. In the course of the analysis, the authors found that the MindSphere OS allows for the effective unification, search, filtering and evaluation of data taking into account the context, which gives a significant synergetic effect and provides a basis for intelligent decision-making, and therefore significantly reduces the cost and time to find sources of problems, allowing to focus on optimizing products, production and service, considering the creation of value and increase customer satisfaction. The authors point out that the implementation of IOT solutions opens up a new dimension for business owners in the view of their company based on data, and for the company itself provides previously inaccessible speed of operation, transparency of processes and their optimization, also raises the safety of work and other aspects of activity to a new level. In the final part of the article the authors conclude that MindSphere platform has all necessary qualities to be among the leaders of the Industrial IOT (IIOT), to provide customers with the opportunity to qualitatively transform IOT data into useful business results.

Резиме: Технологија идентификације путем радио-таласа (Radio Frequency Identifi cation - RFID) прeдстaвљa рeвoлуциoнaрни приступ у индустриjскoj кoнтрoли и имa вeлики пoтeнциjaл зa унaпрeђeњe прoдaje прaћeњeм диjeлoвa или циjeлих прoизвoдa крoз прoизвoдњу, склaдиштeњe, дистрибуциjу, тe нa крajу тoкoм циjeлoг лaнцa нaбaвкe (Landt, 2001).

RFID systems use radio waves to transfer data from electronic devices (TAG) to the reader, and then the reader forwards the received data to the control unit further processing. In today’s digitized world, radio frequency identification (RFID) is becoming a major way of digital identification for people, animals, objects, buildings, etc.

When an organization decides that it is time to invest in a digital transformation journey or even in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, it is going to make a big decision. This will significantly impact most elements that contribute to its success and growth. Organized and structured planning and preparation will be required from different aspects. This chapter describes the key success—or failure—factors in implementation focusing on small and medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs usually have limited time, resources, skills, and budget compared to large firms. Throughout the journey of transformation, they need to focus on scoping and contracting phases distinguishing between digital transformation and regular information technology contracts. This chapter defines the building blocks to have a successful transformation. Contracting and scoping are considered at the heart of managing the complete digital transformation journey.

Like others, insurance company in Indonesia faces challenge to adopt digital transformation. Digital transformation helps them to compete against each other and also to attract their customers. This study is performed through literature review in order to create conceptual enterprise resource planning design that can help insurance company in Indonesia to adopt digital transformation. Based on our study, enterprise resource planning system can help insurance company to achieve this objective because it can integrate process between different business functions and provide fast and accurate information. First things to do if we want to implement enterprise resource planning is to understand the current situation of the company. We must know the existing business process, its systems, and the relation between business function. And then, we can start creating new enterprise resource planning design based on the business functions and process.

Nowadays in the market there are different Internet of Things (IoT) devices, that are used in electrical power systems. Such IoT devices can be physically, or virtually networked, with interoperable communication protocols and intelligent interfaces. IoT technologies provide their connection to the internet, as well as connection to special services and applications. Electrical power systems have traditional Enterprise resource planning (ERP), Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), Distributed control systems (DCSs), as well as traditional industrial automation stack to achieve functional integration between the company management level and the production level. Industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms should overcome the gap between Information technology (IT) and Operational technology (OT) environments. These platforms providing a more suitable data architecture for the modern industrial automation stack. The paper presents the overview of one modern solution with the Claroty IIoT platform. Claroty delivers comprehensive and reduces the complexity of OT security.


Gig economy has played a significant role in the country's economic development and has led to the growth in the employment of the people worldwide by supplementing the primary income of the people. With the security and autonomy that the gig sector promises, people choose to work as gig workers rather than traditional workers. Almost every company uses an enterprise resource planning system (ERPs) to some extent or the other to improve its performance and competitiveness. This paper devises a conceptual model describing how ERP systems help improve the human resource management of the gig workers, maintain customer relations, and bring digital transformation to its business. The research model would provide an understanding of diagnosing how the ERP system can help improve the conditions of the gig workers and the potential problems faced by them in the areas where the ERP system is not working efficiently. The framework would provide insights in simplifying the implementation of ERP in the gig sector that would be useful in the future.

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) entrepreneurial venture challenge for the innovators was to develop an ERP database using standard generic database software within existing resources and available data at lowest cost in minimum time. The generic ERP database model so developed was completed as a part time task by two innovative entrepreneurs over twelve months for the Australian Department of Defense. They used standard generic database software, existing data, with no additional resources or external consultants. This action research was undertaken on a longitudinal basis by the two entrepreneurs networking closely with the many internal and external stakeholders. The Australian Department of Defense is a complex, high tech Australian Federal Government Department of around 90,000 employees. In 2008-09 the Australian Department of Defense will spend more than $9.6 billion acquiring and sustaining military equipment and services, and will employ over 7,500 people in more than 40 locations around Australia and overseas (Department of Defense, 2009). This comprises the procurement of defense capability products (goods and services) and their support and maintenance from almost every industry sector, on a global basis. Hundreds of small to large enterprises are dependent on the Australian Department of Defense for such orders. The anticipation of the developers of the ERP database was that this entrepreneurial venture could not only help the Australian Department of Defense become an inclusive knowledge based learning society, but subsequently provide an inexpensive database model for other organizations, large or small.
