Cloud ERP may follow Cloud Enterprise Messaging. Think back a couple of decades. If you were a facsimile machine salesman, and had the chance to evaluate enterprise email as it begun to take off, would you have leapt at the opportunity? Or would you have stuck to what was comfortable, and risk getting relegated to the sidelines in the wake of the communications revolution that was to follow? I’ve zeroed in on the fax-email dynamic quite intentionally.

Having been a technology writer for the better part of a decade, I see a couple of trends in enterprise-class messaging that I think may be relevant indicators that describe the relationship between on-premise and Cloud ERP.

The 7 Sins of Customer Service You might also adapt this list to marketing - everything a business does is marketing at the end of the day.

In mind of the innovator: taming the traps of traditional thinking, Matt May writes about the seven sins of solutions.

International Network for Social Network Analysis - INSNA What is ERP? What is Enterprise Resource Planning? Social, Mobile, Cloud…Table Stakes for Today’s ERP? I spent the past week in San Francisco attending Netsuite’s annual user conference, SuiteWorld. As with most software conferences there was the usual barrage of announcements including new features, new partners and refined strategies. Of course SAP also held its Sapphire conference at the same time, so you may have had a hard time making it through all the announcement noise to see what was important from Netsuite (I’ll leave the SAP Sapphire commentary at this point to my colleagues). In the Cloud ERP arena Netsuite, the first full SaaS ERP system, continues to raise the competitive bar and deliver key functionality to its rapidly growing customer base. Last year at its first SuiteWorld conference Netsuite articulated a strategy that focused on several vertical variants and started to move up market from its lower mid-market roots. On the mobile front Netsuite has taken a very realistic attitude that is focused on providing the complete user experience on any device.
