Estimating Synergetic Openness of Industrial Enterprise Management Systems

Abstract

The problem of comprehensive assessment of available enterprise management systems from implementation and application viewpoint is discussed. The degree of information system’s synergetic openness, which described system’s ability to respond to external users’ requests by means of built-in self-organization mechanisms and tools, is offered as an integrated quality index. This complex index depends of partial factors, describing system’s adaptability and integrability. With the help of comprehensive assessment the available ERP systems are compared, and the need in taking into account industrial user’s specific features during system selection is demonstrated.
