Managing ERP configuration variants
Andrea Leitner, Christian Kreiner · 2010
The concepts of Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) have been adapted and applied to enterprise IT systems, in particular the ERP systems of a production company. Based on a 2-layer feature model for the domain of the company's business processes, individual, albeit similar division's ERP system configurations can be derived by feature selection forming a variant description model. It is indicated that regular release upgrades can also benefit from the SPLE approach.
