Off-the-shelf applications have seen a steady growth in many industries. The goal of the paper is to explore whether this also applies to higher education as a domain where institutions are facing new challenges and thus might be on the verge of modernizing their application landscape. The results of a survey conducted among institutions of higher education in Germany show that there are a few dominant products that already automate the highly administrative process areas. However, there still are a few process areas with a low degree of automation. Surprisingly, users of home-grown systems do not necessarily plan to move onto "better" solutions even though at least two modern integrated products show promising interest among German institutions of higher education.
