Abstract: Although the requirements of small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are very similar to those of big corporations, there is still a lack of solutions for SMEs, because the roll-out as well as the maintenance is very expensive. It has become clear that EDP branch solutions, application service providing and stripped-down software versions do not offer satisfying solutions. For solving these problems, we propose an architecture for a distributed ERP system based on web services and peer-to-peer network technology whose roll-out and maintenance are better affordable for SMEs than traditional systems.
