Towards the beginning, when ERP software first came into the market, it was primarily designed for inventory management. Today, ERP systems have evolved to encompass a lot of other back and front-office operations. In order to fully understand ERP, it helps to take a step back and consider all the processes required to manage a business – which is a lot. These processes include anything from Customer Relationship Management (CRM), order management, inventory management, labor management, HR, accounting and finance, etc.

ERP systems tie together and define a plethora of these business processes, and enable the flow of data between them. By collecting an organization’s shared transactional data from multiple sources, ERP systems eliminate data duplication and provide data integrity with a “single source of truth.” Today, ERP systems are critical for managing thousands of businesses of all sizes and in all industries.

The 2019 Hype Cycle for Postmodern ERP report provides an analysis of what you need to know, the hype cycle, the priority matrix, what technologies are on the rise within the ERP space, and which ERP environments are at their peak. For instance, technologies such as enterprise business capabilities (EBC), blockchain, machine learning (ML) and embedded AI, are all maturing technologies within the ERP space this year. Cloud ERP, hybrid integration, digital twin, and conversational UX in ERP are some of the business environments on the rise in postmodern ERP.

According to the report, “Cloud ERP may also enable the benefits of standardized processes, state-of-the-art user experience, better analytics and financial transparency — important concerns for profit-oriented companies. However, to fully realize the advantages of cloud ERP, organizations must embrace a culture of standardization of processes and adaptive change.”
