Enterprise systems engineering (ESE) is the discipline that applies systems engineering to the design of an enterprise.[1] As a discipline, it includes a body of knowledge, principles, and processes tailored to the design of enterprise systems.
An enterprise is a complex, socio-technical system that comprises interdependent resources of people, information, and technology that must interact to fulfill a common mission.[1]
Enterprise systems engineering incorporates all the tasks of traditional systems engineering but is further informed by an expansive view of the political, operational, economic, and technological (POET) contexts in which the system(s) under consideration are developed, acquired, modified, maintained, or disposed.[citation needed][2]
Enterprise systems engineering may be appropriate when the complexity of the enterprise exceeds the scope of the assumptions upon which textbook systems engineering are based. Traditional systems engineering assumptions include relatively stable and well understood requirements, a system configuration that can be controlled, and a small, easily discernible set of stakeholders.[citation needed]
An enterprise systems engineer must produce a different kind of analysis on the people, technology, and other components of the organization in order to see the whole enterprise. As the enterprise becomes more complex, with more parameters and people involved, it is important to integrate the system as much as possible to enable the organization to achieve a higher standard.[3]
Four elements are needed for enterprise systems engineering to work. These include development through adaption, strategic technical planning, enterprise governance, and ESE processes (with stages).[4]
Development through adaptation is a way to compromise with the problems and obstacles in complex systems. Over time, the environment changes and adaptation is required to continue development. For example, mobile phones have undergone numerous modifications since their introduction. Initially, the devices were considerably larger than those seen in later iterations. Over time, variations in size and design have been observed across different generations of mobile phones. Additionally, the evolution of mobile data technology from 1G to 5G has influenced the speed and convenience of mobile phone usage.[5]
Strategic technical planning (STP) gives the enterprise the picture of their aim and objectives. STP components are:[6]
Enterprise governance is defined as 'the set of responsibilities and practices exercised by the board and executive management to provide strategic direction, ensure that objectives are achieved, ascertain that risks are managed appropriately and verify that the organization's resources are used responsibly,' according to CIMA Official Terminology.[7] EG allows one to make the right decision on the choice of CEO and executives for the company, and also to identify the risks of the company.[8]
Four steps comprise the enterprise system engineering process: technology planning (TP); capabilities-based engineering analysis (CBEA); enterprise architecture (EA); and enterprise analysis and assessment (EA&A).[9][3]
TP looks for technologies key to the enterprise. This step aims to identify the innovative ideas and choose the technologies that are useful for the enterprise.[citation needed]
CBEA is an analysis method that focuses on elements that the whole enterprise needs.[10] The three steps are purpose formulation, exploratory analysis, and evolutionary planning:
EA is a model that illustrates the vision, network and framework of an organization. The four aspects (according to Michael Platt) are business prospects, application, information and technology.[11] The diagram shows the structure of enterprise architecture. The benefits are improvement of decision making, increased IT efficiency and minimizes losses.[12]
All the elements are dependent and rely on each other in order to build the infrastructure.[13]
Enterprise analysis and assessment aims to assess whether the enterprise is going in the right direction and help to make correct decisions. Qualities required for this step include awareness of technologies, knowing and understanding command and control (C2) issues, and using modeling and simulation (M&S) explore the implications.[14]
Activities and actions for this event include:
Traditional systems engineering (TSE) is a term to be defined as an engineering sub-system.[15][16] Elements:
A survey compared ESE and TSE. The survey reported that the two are complementary and interdependent. ESE had a higher rating while TSE could be part of ESE. The combination could be ideal.[17]
The two types of ESE application are Information Enterprise Systems Engineering and Social Enterprise Systems Engineering.
It is a system that builds up to meet the requirements and expectations of different stakeholders in the organization. There must be an input device to collect the information and output device to satisfy the information needs.[18]
There are three different aspects for the framework of IESE:
Also, there are different rules for the IESE model.[19]
This is a framework that involves planning, analyzing, mapping, and drawing a network of the process for enterprises and stakeholders. Moreover, it creates social value for entrepreneurship and explores and focuses on social and societal issues. It forms a connection between social enterprise and system engineering. There is a Social Enterprise Systems Engineering V-model, in which two or more social elements are established based on the system engineering framework—for example, more social interface analysis that reviews stakeholders' requirements, and more activities and interactions between stakeholders to exchange opinion.[20]
There are opportunities and risks in ESE and they have to be aggressive in seeking opportunities and also finding ways to avoid or minimize the risks. Opportunity is a trigger element that may lead to the accomplishment of objectives. Risk is a potential occurrence and will affect the performance of the entire system.[21] There are several reasons for the importance of risk management.[22]

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE; pronounced ) is a not-for-profit membership organization and professional society in the field of systems engineering with about 27,000 members and associates including individual, corporate, and student members. INCOSE's main activities include conferences, publications, local chapters, certifications and technical working groups. The INCOSE International Symposium is usually held in July, and the INCOSE International Workshop is held in the United States or Europe in January. Currently, there are about 70 local INCOSE chapters globally with most chapters outside the United States representing entire countries, while chapters within the United States represent cities or regions. INCOSE organizes about 55 technical working groups with international membership, aimed at collaboration and the creation of INCOSE products, printed and online, in the field of Systems engineering. There are working groups for topics within systems engineering practice, systems engineering in particular industries and systems engineering's relationship to other related disciplines. INCOSE produces two main periodicals: the journal, and the practitioner magazine, and a number of individual published works, including the INCOSE Handbook. In collaboration with the IEEE Systems Society and the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC)/Stevens Institute of Technology, INCOSE produces and maintains the online Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK), a wiki-style reference open to contributions from anyone, but with content controlled and managed by an editorial board. INCOSE certifies systems engineers through its three-tier certification process, which requires a combination of education, years of experience and passing an examination based on the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook. INCOSE is a member organization of the Federation of Enterprise Architecture Professional Organizations (FEAPO), a worldwide association of professional organizations formed to advance the discipline of Enterprise Architecture.
Quality engineering is the discipline of engineering concerned with the principles and practice of product and service quality assurance and control. In software development, it is the management, development, operation and maintenance of IT systems and enterprise architectures with high quality standard.
A view model or viewpoints framework in systems engineering, software engineering, and enterprise engineering is a framework which defines a coherent set of views to be used in the construction of a system architecture, software architecture, or enterprise architecture. A view is a representation of the whole system from the perspective of a related set of concerns. Since the early 1990s there have been a number of efforts to prescribe approaches for describing and analyzing system architectures. A result of these efforts have been to define a set of views (or viewpoints). They are sometimes referred to as architecture frameworks or enterprise architecture frameworks, but are usually called "view models". Usually a view is a work product that presents specific architecture data for a given system. However, the same term is sometimes used to refer to a view definition, including the particular viewpoint and the corresponding guidance that defines each concrete view. The term view model is related to view definitions.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
