ERP is Dead.
Gartner News, December 28th, 2022
We love to hate ERP. For some it is the enterprise application that forces their organisation in an inadequate, static mold, others feel that over time they have customised and adapted it to death.
Is it dead or is there a future?
And if there is a future for ERP, how does that look like?
The death of ERP is accelerated by the transition to cloud and SaaS. Big monolithic on-premise ERP's are expensive to develop and run and with SaaS more nimble, faster and less risky paths to adoption and productive use of a new class of enterprise applications is available. The subscription models for these create an easy entry and reduce the initial investments required. In the HCM space the transition to SaaS offerings is largely completed and SaaS is the de-facto standard.
