Today’s large companies face significant challenges in the integration of differently configured ERPsystems which have evolved within the last decade. These systems impede the flow of informationalong the value chain which is vital for supply chain management and holistic controlling processes.They also create implementation inefficiencies since learning and scale effects are not takenadvantage of. Therefore, establishing standards for the harmonization of independent and distributedsystems would have a profound positive competitive impact. This article describes the TemplateHandbook, a standardization approach which was developed and implemented in a project with amultinational company, the Robert Bosch Group. ERP templates establish interoperability byidentically configuring …

This paper discusses IT-enabled collaboration of business units (Business Networking) on the business processlevel. It’s goal is to develop a model which helps companies in the networked economy to design and managetheir cross-company business processes. We elaborate an approach which combines findings of network theoryand business process re-engineering using results of coordination theory. To reduce complexity, we split thenetworking problem into five coordination areas. We find that describing business networks with the aid ofcoordination areas allows a networked enterprise to consistently orient itself towards the processes of itspartners, in particular those of its customers and suppliers. The model of the …
