In today's world, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) applications have become a solution better than any other traditional way to approach the enterprise level sustainability within a department/organization. The area where ERP becomes difficult to use is the part where integration between other platforms such as e-commerce platforms is required. It is really hard to find an off the shelf solution to integrate the ERPs with the POS (Point of Sales) ecommerce since both the platforms follow different functional rules and process flows in terms of used terminologies and the business processes.To solve this problem this paper focuses on proposing a solution for aligning both ends that is the Ecommerce platforms as well as the ERP side while staying within their business processes.

Various aspects of innovation management have been discussed in literature over the past few decades. Most of the innovation management frameworks have been formulated by undertaking studies in the developed world and lack the industry/culture specific focus. In this paper, we revisit the generic innovation management studies to develop an innovation management framework for highlighting the factors affecting innovation specifically at the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector of Pakistan. A detailed literature review has been conducted to identify the factors included in the past innovation management models. To identify the factors specific for Pakistan, senior-level professionals, working at the Pakistani ICT organizations were interviewed based on a survey. A comparative analysis of the innovation management frameworks for Pakistan against those previously found in literature revealed interesting similarities and differences. Based on the study findings, an innovation management framework is developed that highlights the present factors which are important for innovation in the ICT sector for Pakistan. This framework can be used by Pakistan and other underdeveloped countries for improving their innovation in ICT sectors in particular and other sectors in general.
