April 6, 2005 - Ventana Research believes that the ERP market is moribund and too firmly anchored to its roots in delivering financial, HR, supply chain and manufacturing functionality. In order to support the innovative organizations of the future, this current functional footprint must be regarded as merely the foundation for the next level of ERP development. Otherwise, customers who have made significant investments in ERP over the last decade will be wondering how this investment will support them in a world where organizational innovation and avoiding commoditization is the order of the day.
But the future of ERP is not about software-as-service, the technology-centric issue of delivering applications as componentized web services operating within service oriented architectures. Instead, it is all about supporting the innovative organizations of the future, organizations that need to quickly adapt and align to new business models, manage continual change and innovate consistently and competitively. The future of ERP is about embracing new businesses processes including innovation and change management, about new ways of interacting with ERP through visualization and about a different kind of collaborative relationship between vendors, resellers and customers, one focused on knowledge management and the development of shared innovation capital.
