Looking Ahead: ERP in 2020

Companies and organizations of all kinds (nonprofits, government agencies, etc.,) everybody’s looking at investing in software. “With robotic process automation, artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, all of these factors are converging to make investing in technology make a ton of sense,” said Windle. “In 2020, you’re going to have a ton of great options for software.”

“Of all the years that I’ve worked in this industry, I have really been astonished at the size of organizations (from teeny tiny to super, super big) really looking to automate their processes with ERP. I think that’s super cool, because it does show that there’s a lot of interest, but there are also a lot of interesting solutions in the marketplace too.”

Windle also noted that advances in ERP systems are allowing vendors to be more agile with industry-specific solutions.

“When I think back to my days at J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft, the software application vendors had to build a huge framework, and then they’d build business processes on top of that, or business applications that then they’d go to market with. It’s not that way anymore. There are several organizations that build apps on top of Salesforce, on top of their platform, that almost overnight they can come in with an industry-specific solution for a micro-vertical. Not just a vertical, but a micro-vertical. And boom, there’s a great product that’s available.”
