Paper Abstract:
|
In business IT, empirical data is very rarely in the form of corporate usage data from system analyses. This article introduces 105 systems that have been analyzed in-depth, and whose data deliver empirical conclusions about usage and the level of maturity of business processes in purchasing, and quantify the primary types of activities users are involved in. The data was gathered from usage analyses of SAP systems via RBE Plus, a reverse business engineering tool. It is based on the activities of more than 270,000 users in organizations in Europe and the USA. The findings offer enterprises a standard of comparison and reveal potential for improvement in sub-processes. |
