"Old-Fashioned, Expensive, Painful and Boring: Why Everything You Know About ERP Is Wrong"
Many organizations continue to approach ERP the same way they did 20 years ago. In 2019 the pace of business requires flexibility and agility not delivered by monolithic ERP and old fashioned ’front-end’ and ’back-end’ thinking. The 4th era of ERP is approaching and if organizations aren’t already executing a postmodern ERP strategy they will find themselves left behind.
