Abstract

The best possible fulfilment of demands upon IT landscapes requires the systematic analysis of both the business requirements and the way in which the ERP system and its integrated applications should be transformed. A pattern for the analysis can assist in: identifying and evaluating the current system status; estimating the possible improvements with respect to using SaaS and selecting the most advantageous solution. The proposed analysis pattern is based upon documented user applications of SaaS implementation and enabling it’s integration in the ERP landscape.
