摘要

The ubiquitous term "digital transformation" brings in the focus the need for analyzing this concept in the industry today. Specifically, the paper describes how organizations look at one of the digital transformation's technologies - Internet of Things (IoT) and if they would like to integrate it with the existing information system or it should be mandatory with implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The digital transformation surely put the ladder higher and the organizations are researching new options and innovative ways of doing a business in order to survive in the global market. On the other side, the ERP vendors offer methodologies for implementing their product packages. The digital transformation brought the idea of integrating the IoT with ERP system. Studying these methodologies became obvious that no segments are dedicated to integrating the IoT with ERP system. Therefore, we suggest a generic set of steps applicable in existing methodologies of ERP's implementation.
