Postmodern ERP Ecosystem
Emergence of a cloud-based postmodern ERP ecosystem.
Gartner has called out 2016 as the year that on-premise ERP implementations are relegated to legacy status. Rather than rip and replace these systems, companies will seek to wring a few more years out of them by building out a cloud-based ecosystem around them in the areas of CRM, HR, and spend management, to name a few. By 2020, we may start to see total system replacements, but this will be the most common path forward for the foreseeable future.
