Podcast | The Evolution of ERP: Is It a Different Animal Today?

Three decades after its introduction, has the ERP monster finally been tamed?

Enterprise resource planning debuted by that name in the 1990s, as a successor to material requirements planning. ERP offered businesses a compelling means of managing inventory, accounting, finance and sales. But for many, implementation proved to be a massive headache, requiring years and millions of dollars to complete. So is it any easier now? And how does modern-day ERP differ from that earlier incarnation? We tackle these and other questions on this episode with the help of Wiley Jones, chief executive officer of adaptive ERP vendor Doss. He traces the history of ERP and explains how it has evolved with the coming of big data, the cloud and artificial intelligence. ERP, we learn, is quite a different animal today. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
