Even though there is no doubt that ERP(Enterprise Resource Planing) system is a prevailing solution for integrating corporate information, many companies still hesitate adopting ERP system because of a great deal of cost including maintenance cost. In special, unless consulting knowledge that is infused into process reengineering phase or adequately embedded in customized ERP system is upgraded on time, then we cannot guarantee the optimality of system performance. Hence, this paper aims to construct an ERP system that adapts itself to environmental changes that are issued by database and users. To do so, we adopt intelligent agent technology and Petri net theory. The agents autonomously cooperate each other to investigate databases and to find any exceptional changes and analyze how the changes will affect ERP performance. The dynamics of the agents are represented as Petri nets. The newly proposed ERP system is to make corresponding BPR processes maintain optimality. To show the feasibility of the proposed ERP maintenance system, logistics component is described as an illustrative example.

Currently, each organization has developed its gridded data in the form of respective grid system for its own purpose. Interoperability among the organization had been limited and resulted in inconvenient data access and application across domains. In this study, we investigated potential standards for National grid system and their strength and weakness. We also reviewed existing gridding schemes and had a survey of demand about grid system to those who have used or would plan to use gridded data in academic and business sectors.

In this study, we introduce the background and model for the Test of Practical Competency in ICT(TOPCIT), which is designed to diagnose and assess the competency of ICT industry related workers and software(SW) developers, and also attempt to derive meaningful policy implications for developing a global level of ICT SW competency evaluation system across the different cases in domestic and foreign countries with regard to the application and dissemination of the TOPCIT. First, we analyze the test results from surveys conducted a preliminary test (or a pilot test) for the process of global dissemination of the TOPCIT in 2015. Then, we attempt to compare the results with the domestic test results. The findings show that the average score between domestic and foreign test takers was similar, but in the highest score group, the number of domestic test takers was relatively higher than the number of foreign test takers. Moreover, the average score can be varied by the language ability, especially fluent in English, of test takers. Therefore, the findings suggest that the localization is one of the key components for building upon the global TOPCIT system.

Research design, data, and methodology - The research procedure is largely divided into two phases. In the first phase, the service quality, the customer satisfaction, and the continuous transaction research hypothesis and the verification are carried out. Experimental data were collected from 450 companies, CEO companies of SMEs innovation institutes, and 510 companies from medium and large enterprises. From September 15 to October 5, 2015, 215 questionnaires were used. And research hypothesis and test were conducted by SPSS SW Ver. 20. Results - The results of the study confirm that service quality has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and continuous transaction: as the detailed items for improving the service quality, 'responsiveness', 'assurance' and 'empathy' have been adopted. Therefore, there are critical factors of a company's survival through continuous transaction. Conclusions - Through this study, we confirmed that the survival of small businesses require continuous improvement in service quality. Among the factors improving service quality, empathy means service satisfaction of customers; so, it is necessary to continuously improve it by evaluating customer satisfaction. Responsiveness means rapid response to customer needs and reliability; it is necessary to enhance customer responsiveness by continuous job training and service training. Finally, assurance is the same as sales product or after service. This means that it is necessary to not only issue the "supply contract," but also improve the reliability of the sales product by securing the competence of the consulting professional. However, because the service quality measurement factors selected in this study are the measurement factors that are mainly applied to large companies or those in the service industries, it is important to consider the type of sales of software distribution companies.
