Applying a system of systems engineering (SoSE) process to develop a generic system for technology implementation will yield a model for future IT deployments that realize the benefits promised by the applications. The SoSE approach will support the integration of technology modules across the extended enterprise for improved information management throughout the lifecycle of the organization.

Industrial engineers often address human-integrated systems as opposed to fluid dynamics, electronic inputs or concrete foundations. So IEs could make use of a complementary approach to problem-based systems design and improvement. Simply stated, the proposed approach suggests system design and improvement based on first determining the system assets or resources rather than first finding the problem.
