And it has just three letters E-R-P.

ERP* software still has a dreadful reputation, according to recent articles in CIO magazine. 

Of late companies like #lendlease have publicly stated that they had to write off hundreds of millions because the product was “not be fit for purpose in the emerging digital world in which [it] operated.” 

They also stated, “The monolithic nature of the system hindered its ability to make incremental product and service improvements at a time of accelerated technological change.” 

So why are ERP technology vendors using the terms “Competitive Differentiation” or “Competitive Edge” if the customers they serve aren’t in agreement?

In my opinion, it’s time for ‘independent’ IT experts to start speaking out.

I would love to hear your two cents worth!

*ERP (enterprise resource planning) is a type of management software system, helping you to coordinate processes, information, and resources from the same place. This includes inventory, quotations, purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices, sales, production planning, scheduling & diary, workflow & personnel.
