Popis: | Innovations are continuously pushing the boundaries of how organizations can use various technologies to improve efficiency. However, for organizations making use of large applications such as enterprise systems to support their operations, the process of adopting new technologies can have huge implications. This study focuses on the introduction of cloud computing, mobile technology, in-memory technology, and service oriented architecture into existing enterprise systems for companies operating in a developing country context. The findings reveal that while many organizations are seriously considering these technologies, issues such as lack of sufficient knowledge, skills shortages and concerns on security, costs as well as legislation are still a challenge. |
