Plex a nuanced version of 2 Tier ERP

By Vinnie Mirchandani on April 9, 2014

The concept of 2 (or 3) Tier ERP is certainly not new. Platinum (now Epicor), J. D Edwards (now Oracle), and more recently NetSuite have for decades gone to large, typically multi-national companies and convinced them to adopt their software in plants and smaller subsidiaries while continuing with a D&B or SAP at HQ and […]

CEO Interview: Jason Blessing of Plex Software

By Brian Sommer on January 31, 2013

My initial interest in them was due to the size of their product offering (i.e., full ERP) and their multi-tenancy. Recently, the company has undertaken a […]

By Phil Wainewright on January 7, 2013

ERP cloud wars – Vendor Innovation & Competition Will Benefit Businesses

By Brian Sommer on September 6, 2011

Events of the last week confirm it: Cloud ERP is a serious space. If you’re still expecting on-premise ERP to rule the day, it won’t. On-premise ERP will have to share the limelight with its newer cousins. The cloud and ERP, especially manufacturing software applications, are definitely in vogue. Vendors, investors and customers are piling […]
