Abstract

With the consumerization of IT, rugged, process-centric enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are increasingly challenged by small fit-to-purpose productivity applications that are designed for very specific use cases. ERP content, which used to reside in transactional database applications, suddenly becomes accessible on mobile devices and blends into personal knowledge management applications. This increasing pervasiveness of information systems in work and private contexts demands, we argue, more situational adaptability of functionality and content.
