jhg: A Link To What Remains One Of The Best Recent Articles... Here's something that has been seen before, but is worth looking at again. It's point-counterpoint Computerworld article that pits Bobby Cameron of Forrester against Richardson at AMR. It highlights the continuing weaknesses of ERP... especially the Planning function and sets up a concept that Forrester calls "dynamic trade," but, is, in essence, what ITWO's e-BPO is all about. It also sets up the oldest argument in the space: best of breed vs. integration. SAP argues for integration, saying you don't need best of breed, you just need something that goes well with what you've already got. Happy reading. Hope this helps further clarify the concepts. computerworld.com Best Regards, c m
