  1. IT architectures and Enterprise Systems integration in SMEs Frantz Rowe Marc Bidan Nantes University Duane Truex Georgia State University OASIS / Pré ICIS / 2004

  2. Presentation • Research question • Conceptual framework • Hypotheses • Methodology • Results • Conclusion

  3. This paper has two aims • Examine if the implementation (organizational vision, functional coverage, process reengineering, implementation strategy, DBs heterogeneous, application, and specific development) of ERP systems explains the emergence of several IT architectures • Evaluate the impact of such implementation concerning (1) applications integration and (2) applications federation

  4. Research question Does ERP Implementation offer a more integrated/federated IS architecture ? What about hybrids forms ?

  5. Conceptual framework • Markus theory (2000 and 2001) • Alsène theory (1997) • Menadier theory (2002)

  6. Methodology • Quantitative aspects of the research data • Tested Population : 143 French SMEs companies • Minimum of 2 ERP modules, • Single editor, • Minimum of 6 months live implementation, • Respondents areERP project managers and functional managers

  7. Results Three categories of IT architecture underlining IS “urbanisation” choices in SMEs : • federated IT architecture • partial integrated IT architecture • hybrid integrated IT architecture

  8. Result 1:Federated IT architecture

  9. Result 2:Partial Integrated IT architecture

  10. Result 3:Hybrid Integrated IT architecture

  11. Conclusion

  12. Future research • Results require greater explanation in a number of respects: • Cross-functionality and interoperability of applications merits beingexamined in greater detail from the user viewpoint • The purpose of specific developments should be underlined and investigated • The life cycle approach taken here is restricted purely to the overall description of ERP issue and should be developed and carried forward as a basis for future research
