title = "Introducing product line architectures in the erp industry: Challenges and lessons learned",
abstract = "Return on Investment (ROI) for companies involved in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system development depends on their flexibility to evolve, maintain, customize and configure their ERP product to respond to new business needs, deployment models and emerging market segments. In this particular aspect, ERP systems can get benefit from commonality and variability management concepts in order to improve evolution and maintainability. Moreover, Product Line Engineering (PLE) methods and practices can substantially reduce time and effort regarding the current complex and tedious configuration procedures that are not only resource-intensive, but also error-prone. This paper introduces practical experiences from the application of product line architectures (PLAs) in four companies of the ERP systems domain.",
