In the late 1990s, most organizations adopted enterprise systems (ES) to automate their core business processes. The very same organizations are presented with a new wave of opportunities to innovate with digital technologies—technologies that purport to have diametrically opposed characteristics to ES. This study explores how organizations integrate digital technologies with their incumbent ES for attaining innovation. The study followed a qualitative approach and gathered data from four organizations consisting of six such projects. By applying a unique theoretical foundation, this study derives interesting insights into the orchestration process of ES and digital technologies for attaining innovation.

将数字技术与现有企业系统协调起来，以实现创新


在 1990 年代后期，大多数组织采用企业系统 （ES） 来自动化其核心业务流程。正是这些组织面临着利用数字技术进行创新的新一波机会，这些技术据称具有与 ES 截然相反的特征。本研究探讨了组织如何将数字技术与其现有的 ES 集成以实现创新。该研究遵循定性方法，并从由 6 个此类项目组成的 4 个组织收集数据。通过应用独特的理论基础，本研究对 ES 和数字技术的编排过程获得了有趣的见解，以实现创新。
