e-Enterprise
e-Enterprise or electronic / virtual organization pursues the goal of bringing together all the applications of a company in order to be able to expand an extended company that works as a paperless organization . It should digitally map the departments, handle the information flows in work processes, as well as the communication with all internal and external areas (company information infrastructure). The strategy of e-Enterprise development is the integration of all business areas and applications that are mapped ("electronically") via the Internet or intranet / extranet environment.
development
e-Enterprise developed from net-commerce based on EDI (1980s / 1990s), the e-commerce phase (1997) and the subsequent e-business phase (1999). It is a result of the trend of "electronization" (in the main Internetization, dematerialization and virtualization - cf. Micic 2007) and the integration of all company applications. The development of e-Enterprise began at the beginning of the new millennium with the revision of the ERP systems. The development and implementation is just beginning and it will take decades for it to penetrate the entire economy.
Driving factors
Driving factors are on the one hand the future factors "dematerialization and virtualization", "Internetization", on the other hand the rapid growth of web technologies.
Differentiation from e-business
The term e-enterprise was formulated for the highest form of growth in e-business (= the implementation of business processes and relationships with business partners, employees and customers of a company through electronic media ). In contrast to e-business, where business processes are electronically supported, e-Enterprise adapts the business model and processes to e-business technologies. The aim is to achieve the highest possible degree of integration of e-business technologies in the processes. This requires a high level of standardization of business processes so that they can be efficiently mapped electronically.
Extended definition
e-Enterprise is the next level of 'e-Business'. It builds on e-business . E-Enterprise has generalist capabilities and enables the implementation of online business models, applications, architecture and tools.
The e-Enterprise is a combination of the “point-and-click” net business model ( companies that are exclusively present on the Internet ) and the traditional “brick-and-mortal” assets ( companies where customer contact takes place in real business and sales rooms ). It fundamentally changes the original company. The next generation of organizations has four main characteristics:
- Speed and responsiveness in real time to customer requirements
- an iterative / repetitive approach: "introduce, learn, and reintroduce"
- holistic and consistent "methodologies to define" strategy, process, application and technology architecture.
- Alignment of technology with the business model of each company.
An e-enterprise model is an extension of various types of business and technology models that managers use to view and map their organizations and software applications.
