Title: Standardization approach for Federated
ERP systems based on Web Services
Abstract: As enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems become more complex the financial expenditures that are connected
to the application of such systems dramatically increase. ERP systems consist
of many software components which provide specific functionality. However,
these ERP systems are designed as an all-in-one solution, often implementing
functionality not needed. Furthermore, such ERP systems depend on very large-scale
infrastructures like servers and networking technology, which are very expensive
to install and to maintain. The new idea is to develop a novel ERP system
architecture which facilitates an overall reusability of individual business
components (BC) through a shared and NON-monolithic architecture based on
a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. In this paper we present a standardization
approach which uses Web Services to wrap ERP components that are provided
by a distributed system which appears as an ERP community.
