Paper Abstract:
|
To increase the ability of being innovative, employees as well as decision makers in industrial businesses need actual information about the ongoing innovation processes. Therefore businesses need to have product oriented information in business units like sales and services as well as economic information in product oriented business units like R&D. To achieve an almost complete picture, all of that information has to be structured and analyzable data with a linking pin in between. Several researches illustrate that this seems to be an unmatched vision. Because of informational gaps and missing concepts, valuable product and technology information as well as transaction oriented economical key figures are often hidden in multiple isolated IT systems distributed throughout the company. To improve this situation, an empirical study identified different integration approaches in a first step. In a further step, these approaches were discussed with experts for their suitability to integrate product oriented and transaction oriented IT systems. |
