Enterprise systems have long played an important role in businesses of 
various sizes. With the increasing complexity of today’s business 
relationships, specialized application systems are being used more and 
more. Moreover, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence are 
becoming accessible for enterprise systems and entail new requirements. 
This raises the question of the future role of enterprise systems. In 
particular, the integrative, all-encompassing approach of early system 
versions is in question.
In order for ERP systems to continue to fulfill their essential role, the 
systems must adapt to the new needs of organizations and respond to the 
technological advancements in the market. From an architectural 
perspective, this requires adaptations at all major architectural levels 
of ERP systems architecture. From an organizational perspective, new 
solutions for technical integration and interoperability are needed. With 
regards to the selection and implementation process, new topics such as 
cloud-based operation models increase the complexity of decision making.
This minitrack covers topics that contribute to the future role of 
enterprise systems. This include but are not limited to the following 
topics:
Architecture of enterprise systems
Reference models for enterprise systems and processes
Industry-specific adoption of enterprise systems
Enterprise architecture management (system & interface management)
Interoperability of enterprise systems with the firm and along the 
supply-chain
Decision support (data-driven decisions)
User interface — usability, personalization of enterprise systems, mobile 
ERP, new forms of interaction (e.g., speech recognition in ES)
Decision support for managerial decision on enterprise systems (e.g., 
cloud vs. on-premises vs. hybrid)
Artificial intelligence and machine learning in enterprise systems (sales, 
procurement, logistics, financial accounting, master data management)
ERP as (software) platforms: openness of ERP systems, new level of 
modularity of enterprise systems (extensions)
Processes and workflows in enterprise systems (workflow management systems 
as part of enterprise systems)
Database approaches in enterprise systems
Submissions may include, but are not limited to research papers 
(conceptual, theoretical, and empirical studies), as well as case studies, 
and best practices with managerial guidance.
Papers accepted for presentation at HICSS in the minitrack with the 
potential to shape the future role of enterprise systems will be 
considered for fast-track submission to the AIS Transactions on Enterprise 
Systems Journal (https://enterprise-systems.net/).
