The introduction, use and maintenance of enterprise systems (ES) require a 
significant investment of organizational energy and resources. As such, ES 
represent the largest IS investment an organization is likely to make. 
Many organizations are now upgrading, replacing, or extending their 
original ES. Early versions of ES provided back office functionality that 
integrated a range of internal business processes, whereas modern ES have 
evolved to include support for a variety of front office and 
inter-organizational activities and processes, such as customer 
relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM). The 
design of such large integrated systems represents a major technical 
challenge, requiring new ways of thinking about business processes, system 
development, and enterprise architecture.

Because of both their size and their integrated nature, ES are difficult 
to implement, and are associated with a variety of organizational changes. 
Organizations expect, but unfortunately do not always realize, significant 
benefits from their sizable investments in ES. Because of the importance 
of ES in organizations, educators continue to explore approaches for 
introducing ES into IS and other business curricula.

Suggested topics for minitracks (additional topics welcome):
 *Case studies of Enterprise Systems
 *Business models of ES providers
 *Maintenance of ES
 *Introduction of ES
 *ES in health care
 *ES technologies
 *ES development

Other titles and topics are welcome as long as they relate to the general 
topic area of Enterprise Systems.
