THE BOTTOM LINE
The recent evolution of the enterprise resource pla
nning (ERP) market has been
dominated by two main trends: The first trend is t
hat of traditional vendors re-designing
products in order to make them more user-friendly a
nd easier to maintain. The second
trend is the emergence of a segment of new vendors
and solutions employing the latest
technologies to challenge traditional ERP and somet
imes even trying to re-invent it (more
or less successfully). Both trends have led to a c
ertain degree of consumerization of ERP,
making it more accessible but bringing with it new
challenges such as the integration
between ERP and other software solutions. Dependin
g on their go-to-market strategy and
their R&D budget, vendors use a myriad of different
approaches to adapt to the changing
need of their customers and the advent of new techn
ologies.
