The author explores and identifies possible relationships between the evolution of ERP systems and information systems’ integration or disintegration. The purpose of this book is to discover whether the relationships between the ERP systems and the information systems are guided by certain factors and, as a result, to better understand the factors affecting these relationships. More precisely, this analysis studies whether assigned values given to these factors could guide the evolution of ERP systems in a manner that promotes IS integration; and whether the opposite assigned values to these factors could guide the evolution of ERP systems in a manner that provokes IS disintegration instead.
