Research in Progress: Understanding the Process of Implantation It Enterprise Applications in Small and Medium Enterprises (Smes)

Abstract

This research deals with the implantation of IT enterprise applications in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It comprises two main phases. The first phase aims at deepening the existing understanding of the process of adoption and implantation of IT Enterprise applications in SMEs. Besides a literature review this phase includes the realization of case studies and interviews of the different players in the adoption and implantation process. The second phase aims at producing models and methods to guide SME in implantation of IT enterprise applications. This phase follows is being carried out under the Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm.This document presents the advances and results obtained in understanding the problem and determines the work to be done soon. The main findings to date are: Government regulations are the main motivations for implanting IT enterprise applications in SMEs, the cost is not the main selection parameter for SMEs with previous experience in applications, it is necessary a person inside the company that knows the core of the business, to save costs it is not necessary to migrate all the data of previous solutions

Using composition trees to matching software requirements—An external agency's approach to support software acquisition

“…However, they mostly lack in discussing the initialisation and execution of the process in small and medium companies. That, as we have discovered, is very challenging for many small and medium companies.Recently, the authors of two further relevant works 43,44 have conducted empirical studies to identify the key factors that influence software acquisition and then they proposed a process for it. They listed requirements analysis and especially gaps analysis between system features and requirements as one of the key factors.…”

Estudios de casos realizados en PyMES de Argentina para validar DepProMod

“…El despliegue de sistemas de software es un proceso crucial del ciclo de vida de desarrollo de software porque después de un despliegue exitoso, el sistema de software finalmente está operativo para que el cliente pueda beneficiarse económicamente de su uso [Subramanian 2017]. En el despliegue se presentan inconvenientes como por ejemplo la falta de componentes (externos), descargas incompletas, la infraestructura heterogénea e incompatible, incumplimiento de calendarios, retrabajo por falta de pocas capacidades y competencias tecnológicas, capacitación y preparación inadecuadas de los usuarios finales entre otros puntualmente en Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas (PyMES) [Subramanian 2017], [Jansen et al 2006], [Reascos et al 2019], [Paredes et al 2017].…”

Refinamiento De Métricas Para Proceso De Despliegue De Sistemas De Software: Estudio De Caso

“…Es por esto por lo que un despliegue eficiente de software debería ahorrar recursos en términos de costo y esfuerzo (Subramanian, 2017). De acuerdo con Paredes et al (2017), entre las principales causas de riesgos tecnológicos en el proceso de despliegue de sistemas de software, se encuentran: la infraestructura heterogénea e incompatible, las pocas capacidades y competencias tecnológicas de las PyMEs, la complejidad de estos sistemas y la mala calidad y seguridad de los datos. Las PyMES requieren una ventaja competitiva en la industria del software, en Argentina ocupan un 80 % del mercado (OPPSI-CESSI, 2019) y requieren procesos sistematizados y de calidad para lograrlo.…”
