Conspectus
October 2004 - Summary
Two decades on, and we’re still debating whether ERP
or best of breed enterprise IT systems are best.
ERP are the big integrated automate-the-whole-company-in-one-
go packages. Best of breed are more individual applications,
offering specialist features in sometimes competitive edge-creating
areas.
This Conspectus highlights an interesting divide over
their relative merits: the evidence
from our research is that UK companies are increasingly
trusting best of breed and customised systems – just 16% of
companies now rely mainly on ERP packages, compared to 34%
a year ago.
But then Phil Summerfield of ERP Strategy
weighs in with awkward questions like how you support half-a-dozen
best of breed software suppliers, each producing a major upgrade
every year.
Then there is the added complication of e-business software
– sometimes integrated with the enterprise ERP or BoB systems,
sometimes another standalone element. Dave
Graham of Edengene offers e-business implementation advice.
