I2 braces for SAP assault - another link

computerworld.com

(Computerworld 09/28/98)

"R/3 "is basically just a transaction system, and that's not what makes your company successful. This [planning] stuff is," said Peterson, who is chairwoman of I2's independent user group"

"corporate use of supply-chain software "is minuscule" now, said Jim Shepherd, an analyst at AMR Research, Inc. in Boston. "And for the vast majority of buyers, whatever [SAP and other application vendors] come up with will be good enough. Most people like buying from one company."

My idea is that 'just being an transaction system' is the strongest feature of SAP, that creates the standard platform for integration. Then companies can create 'intelligence' around it.
