Enterprise Systems Analysis Report - Business Development, University

This report provides an in-depth analysis of Enterprise Systems, drawing from three key articles. The first article, by Dhukaram et al. (2018), explores the implementation of a Social Technical System (STS) and system thinking in higher education, using case studies of Enterprise System Management (ESM) and European Learner Mobility (EuroLM) to illustrate the interconnectedness of technology, people, and organizational processes. The second article, by Moon (2007), focuses on the benefits of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for optimizing business operations and addresses challenges such as cultural issues and data quality. The third article, by Olsen & Trelsgård (2016), examines the challenges in Enterprise Architecture (EA) adoption, particularly in the context of higher education, highlighting issues like the lack of a governing body and the need for a unified vision. The report emphasizes the importance of these systems for business agility, decision-making, and economic improvement.

Article 1:
In the article conducted by Dhukaram et al., (2018), the significant importance of
implementing Social technical system (STS) for the development of an organization in
association to establish effective working design by generating interaction between technology
and workforce in the complex workplace. The article accentuates certain complexities involved
within the provisions of higher education and how Social technical system and system thinking
approach can be implemented to understand the concept of educational ecosystem. To explain
the system thinking perspective associated with the article, assistance from the two case studies,
service and delivery of the Enterprise System Management (ESM) and development of European
Learner Mobility (EuroLM) has been considered. While describing the case scenario, various
ways in which the system thinking approach in associate with the STS, for instance, cognitive
work analysis and organizational changes can be utilized to capture the conceptual mode; of
educational system. This framework enables to understand the relationship and interaction
between technology, people, organizational and process.
Article 2:
The article conducted by Moon, (2007), focuses on exhibiting significant benefits of
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) framework for optimizing the management, transactional
and other business operations in an organization. The study focuses on explaining how with the
help of effective implementation of ERP system organization achieves success and its targeted
objectives in an easy and précised manner. Issues like cultural issues, project management nod
data quality are major issues and challenges faced by different sectors of industries, especially by
the IT sectors. Hence, from the study it can be observed that undertaking the ERP policies the
management system of the company is able to adhere to their roles and responsibilities while
mitigating common persisting issues. Thus, the articles exhibit different surveys and
investigations done on different sectors of business units to analysis how ERP systems and
policies can be implemented as per the requirements of changing business environment.
Article 3:

Enterprise Systems
The article adheres to explain challenges endeavors in Enterprise Architecture (EA)
organizations when Information Technology is implemented (Olsen & Trelsgård, 2016). The
issues have been observed in both the cases of the public sector as well as private sectors of
industries. The study focuses to explain the significant importance of higher education like EA.
However, limited range of research and investigation has been implemented to insight certain
issues. Hence, the context accentuates adequate findings on the investigation done to adhere how
AE can be implemented in different sectors of industries. One of the issues is lack of overarching
of governing body that affects the EA implication. Other issues are the lack of agreement on the
vision as well as extant of EA initiative. Finally, the lack of EA associated with the top level of
management. However, it has been discussed in the context that adequate implementation of
information technology knowledge and skills in all the sectors of industries, the above-discussed
issues associated with EA can be mitigated. This solution would provide significant benefits to
business agility, appropriate decision making and improves the scale of economics.
