There is a continuous strive for digitalization of business process execution and different types of enterprise applications are used to implement business processes. The paper identifies types of enterprise applications, namely, functional applications, ERP systems, workflow management systems, serviceoriented architecture applications and SaaS and analyzes suitability of these applications for fulfilling business process execution requirements. This analysis yields a hypothesis that enterprise applications evolve cyclically and the cycles are determined by an interplay between standardization and customization tendencies in development of enterprise applications. This observation allows to structure existing developments in enterprise computing and to reason about future developments in digitalization of business processes.
