Abstract. With gamification, design elements known from games can be used to increase employees' engagement and improve users' experience. This paper points to Enterprise Information Systems as a viable point of implementation of gamification. There are three relevant questions: what gamification actually consists of, why it is worthwhile to apply it in Enterprise Information Systems, and how to implement it properly. The paper aims to answer them.
