Re: The barrier to entry is great even if the entrant has a tremendous amount of cash. It will require the establishment of suitable SCM software systems (Michelle Harris can give you detailed information on how difficult that is to accomplish) >>
?

jhg,
Can you give me a framework for this comment. I need the context of the original article.

The short answer is scary : first you install ERP (2 yrs minimum and we all know how many Sap implementations NEVER go live) - cost 10-40MM, then you install I2 or Manu (or Red Pepper if you are a Psft shop) another 2+ MM and 1 year effort.

So, no way to save on cash in this scenario. Its a 3 year cycle minimum and you may never get it. Thats the short answer.
