Episode notes
ERP's Origin And The Need To Rethink
- ERP evolved from MRP to unify silos and became dominant during Y2K-driven modernization.
- The traditional monolithic ERP model is now outdated and needs rethinking for modern needs.
Best-Of-Breed Disrupted Monoliths
- Best-of-breed vendors like Salesforce and Workday proved focused solutions can outperform monoliths.
- New tech (microservices, platforms, AI, low-code) is accelerating ERP's fragmentation and reinvention.
Favor Composable Over Monoliths
- Do adopt composable architectures and modern integration tools instead of forcing one monolithic ERP.
- Use middleware or AI to unify data while allowing specialized systems for unique capabilities.
