The use of ERP in organisations is very popular and many companies have embraced this paradigm without really questioning why. Problems therefore often arise and cause high costs which is a result of poor planning. The paradigm also has its origin in the traditional architectural design that creates a system that has difficulties to adapt to organizations that are constantly evolving. The purpose of this study is to provide a different view of how IT-systems can operate within an organization and show how standard systems can be structured. We emanated from a case study at Linköping University Library, where we studied the implementation and integration of a standard system called Symphony. This lead to a prototype model of a system architecture called LSA (Loose coupled Architecture Service). The results of this study show the benefits of a detailed project plan for an implementation process. It also shows there are new system architectures available instead of the old traditional ones. The criticism towards the innovative object-oriented architecture models evolved in early 2000, have been proved wrong as we demonstrate in this study.
