Abstract
Previous research on Open Source Software (OSS) has primarily focused on the motivation of contributors, the innovation process itself, and the competitive dynamics. Only marginal attention has been given to OS enterprise systems, an area where most companies have started implementations of packaged software and which has a direct link to business value. This paper addresses this gap. In fact, successful implementation stories are reported from small and mid-sized enterprises (SME). However, OS Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) are far away from being widespread and the literature focuses specific aspects. This research aims to enhance the understanding of OS ERP systems regarding their business functionality and the evaluation process. Among the results are strengths and weaknesses of OS ERP systems as well as insights regarding their potential. Finally, an agenda for further research is presented.
