Systemarkitektur och implementering av standardsystem
En fallstudie vid Linköpings universitetsbibliotek
The use of ERP in organisations is very popular and many companies have embraced this paradigm without really questioning why. Problems therefore often arise and cause high costs which is a result of poor planning. The paradigm also has its origin in the traditional architectural design that creates a system that has difficulties to adapt to organizations that are constantly evolving. The purpose of this study is to provide a different view of how IT-systems can operate within an organization and show how standard systems can be structured. We emanated from a case study at Linköping University Library, where we studied the implementation and integration of a standard system called Symphony. This lead to a prototype model of a system architecture called LSA (Loose coupled Architecture Service). The results of this study show the benefits of a detailed project plan for an implementation process. It also shows there are new system architectures available instead of the old traditional ones. The criticism towards the innovative object-oriented architecture models evolved in early 2000, have been proved wrong as we demonstrate in this study.
