Abstract: This position paper argues that there is a major contradiction inherent in Enterprise Systems. The evidence for this contradiction is seen in the meta level concepts of commonality and variability that characterize Enterprise Systems. The inherent contradiction between commonality and variability is discussed in the light of Enterprise Systems’ literature, and the contradiction is elaborated. Then an Enterprise Systems’ vendor perspective on commonality and variability is presented, based on interviews. A challenge of this inherent contradiction is its synthesis, finding the right balance between commonality and variability.
