Abstract

The paper explores the recursive elements of the market for enterprise systems by examining the evolution of the sales discourse from vendors of enterprise applications. Enterprise systems are continually sold and implemented, on the basis that greater integration of the modules supporting business functions is a good thing. In this paper we question this assumption, principally based on the redundancy of much of the information that is produced.
