Yesterday: ERP was supposed to solve all our problems…
and create value!!
Today: Monolithic ERP spiraling to irrelevance?
Go live
party!
Can we get functional changes?
Wait for the next upgrade.
Can I connect via my mobile device?
That's going to be difficult. We need you to support
a new business initiative—FAST!
You do realize this is complex?
Why is it so difficult just to create a basic
requisition? I want an app store app!
It isn't difficult. You got training.
We need budget for an upgrade.
Why is our ERP system so expensive to run, can we switch to something else? Our ERP is falling into dis-use,
I am buying Saas! We've just released a new business release.

For more information, stop by Gartner Research Zone."IT sourcing strategies must be structured to enhance IT
agility and address the needs of digital businesses.
Organisations that don't adapt their strategies, and the
competencies required to execute them effectively,
will fail to achieve the value opportunities presented
by a highly digitalised future.”
"The reality is that you do have to operate at two speeds, and
some of that you do by creating dedicated teams for each.
Focusing on the big systems, making them run smooth, while at
the same time having disrupters to innovate, together with
marketing and the customer, exploiting digital."
