Relax, You’re Surrounded

Relax, You’re Surrounded

By Denis Pombriant on February 25, 2015

I don’t know how many old movies there are in which the good guys say, “You’re surrounded, come out with your hands up!” Somehow being surrounded is a bad thing, or at least it was until it became a hot trend in the back office. Let me explain. Surrounding legacy systems like conventional ERP is […]

ERP'€™s Franken-soft and how Workday avoids it

ERP’€™s Franken-soft and how Workday avoids it

By Brian Sommer on November 13, 2012

The genesis of many application software products is a great idea. Someone conceives a better, newer way to achieve a business outcome, complete a process, etc. That idea gets codified and becomes an application. In some cases, it bec…

Why Cloud ERP?  Cutesy Video

Why Cloud ERP? Cutesy Video

By Zoli Erdos on August 13, 2012

The cutesy video above was created by SAP, the first part talking about the benefits of Cloud ERP, the integrated approach in general, and while the last minute turns into a SAP Business ByDesign pitch, it could very well be viewed as overall industry promotion, applicable to archrival NetSuite, and to some extent Workday, and […]

The King is Dead, Long Live the King: The end of ERP and the birth of the Hybrid Enterprise

The King is Dead, Long Live the King: The end of ERP and the birth of the Hybrid Enterprise

By Josh Greenbaum on February 28, 2012

The future of the enterprise seems to be very much up for grabs: just as Salesforce.com proposed the end of software, and then became very much a software company, Zuora’s CEO Tien Tzuo recently authored  a much referenced article on end of ERP, despite the fact that Zuora is very much a player in enabling a new […]

Bring out the fact checkers

By Vinnie Mirchandani on January 10, 2012

‘Tis the season for debates and fact checking statements by candidates. Not politicians, but technology vendors.
Like this one by SAP in a column titled Cloud Strategy that I saw courtesy of Jon Reed:

ERP cloud wars - Vendor Innovation & Competition Will Benefit Businesses

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 […]

The Future of Business: SAP vs. Workday

By Brian Sommer on May 19, 2011

The ERP space is starting to change. It might actually start to reflect the business changes and change velocity your firm deals with daily. But not all vendors see these phenomena. Here’s a look at two who might.

NetSuite User Group Meeting Impresses

By Denis Pombriant on May 12, 2011

A company’s first user group meeting is a kind of coming out party.  It validates the faith its customers showed early on in going with a startup and marks an important statement in the company’s maturation process moving it from kid to adult, removing the training wheels and such.  So I was eager to see […]

NetSuite? For The Enterprise? Really?

NetSuite? For The Enterprise? Really?

By Esteban Kolsky on May 12, 2011

Bear with me for a second here, this is not about CRM, or about NetSuite for that matter even.  This is about enterprise computing models. I attended NetSuite’s SuiteWorld 2011 yesterday (it goes for 3 days, I could not make all three unfortunately) as a guest.  That means they comped me on my registration, will […]
