Making an Interoperability Approach between ERP and Big Data Context

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are deeply rooted as part of organisations' IT systems. These systems have attracted different types of research including project management, technological implications as well as educational research. With the new data era, it is key that studies complementing ERP and Big Data integration are well established. During the initial stage of literature analysis, it was found that interoperability was an important aspect in ERP and Big Data integration. However, there were limited studies linking ERP, Big Data and Interoperability. A thorough background analysis was therefore performed to understand state-of-the-art linking these three domains and the results are presented in this paper. First, the link between ERP, Big Data and Interoperability is discussed. Second, the main findings from the articles linking ERP, Big Data and Interoperability are highlighted. Finally, the research areas linking these three domains are derived.
