Abstract

To remain competitive organizations must be able to move fast and adapt quickly to change. To achieve this they are required to reconfigure their key business processes as changing market conditions dictate.

This chapter discusses a methodology to link enterprise models to wrapped legacy system modules or off-the-shelf (ERP) components. Moreover, it reveals how such mappings can be retrofitted to address business change requirements.
