Despite new technological advances such as cloud computing or model-driven development, technical ERP customization options are either outdated or ambiguously formulated in the scientific literature. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) that analyzes 137 definitions from 26 papers, the result is an analysis and aggregation of technical customization types by providing clearance and aligning with future organizational needs. The results show a shift from ERP code modification in on-premises systems to interface and integration customization in cloud ERP systems, as well as emerging technological opportunities as a way for customers and key users to perform system customization. The study contributes by providing a clear understanding of given customization types and assisting ERP users and vendors in making customization decisions.}, language = {en} } @article{AdelhelmBraunGronauetal.2014, author = {Adelhelm, Silvia and Braun, Andreas and Gronau, Norbert and L{\"u}rig, Detlef and M{\"u}ller, Elisabeth and Vladova, Gergana and Wagner, Dieter}, title = {Mit Open Innovation zum Erfolg}, series = {Handbuch prozessorientiertes Wissensmanagment}, journal = {Handbuch prozessorientiertes Wissensmanagment}, publisher = {GITO}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95545-026-7}, pages = {211 -- 226}, year = {2014}, language = {de} } @book{AdelhelmBraunGronauetal.2010, author = {Adelhelm, Silvia and Braun, Andreas and Gronau, Norbert and M{\"u}ller, E. and Vladova, Gergana}, title = {Open Innovation : Methodologische Pr{\"a}zisierung und praktische Umsetzung im Projekt Open Innovation in Life Sciences}, isbn = {978-3-8396-0141-9}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @article{AndresenGronau2006, author = {Andresen, Katja and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Managing Change : determining the adaptability of information systems}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{AndresenGronau2005, author = {Andresen, Katja and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Seeking Optimal IT-Strategies by the Determination of Adaptability in Domain-Specific Software Applications}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Adaptability of information systems has become a substantial competition factor.

ERP systems in particular, which represent the dominant class of enterprise systems, are struggling to meet the new requirements at all levels of the architecture. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reconsider the overall architecture of the systems and address the root of the related issues. Given that many restrictions ERP pose on their adaptability are related to the standardization of data, the database layer of ERP systems is addressed. Since database serve as the foundation for data storage and retrieval, they limit the flexibility of enterprise systems and the chance to adapt to new requirements accordingly. So far, relational databases are widely used. Using a systematic literature approach, recent requirements for ERP systems were identified. Prominent database approaches were assessed against the 23 requirements identified. The results reveal the strengths and weaknesses of recent database approaches. To this end, the results highlight the demand to combine multiple database approaches to fulfill recent business requirements. From a conceptual point of view, this paper supports the idea of federated databases which are interoperable to fulfill future requirements and support business operation.
