The logic of a fully integrated ERP in any business is not flawed. The inability to gain control of the pieces and ownership of the subordinate processes is the flaw. Management has to be willing to grasp the big picture and refuse to permit sub optimization of the enterprise to optimize the lobbying of one of the subordinate pieces. ERP is not a business application, it is the engine that processes all the transactions to run the business and in that context a single instance is more than definable, it exists. The alternative is stove pipe ERP's justified as suites that detracts from the overarching objective of end to end transactional processing. The ERP's that take too long or fair are those that fail to institute change management and either do not understand or can grasp the big picture.

ERP is not a business application, it is the engine that processes all the transactions to run the business and in that context a single instance is more than definable, it exists. The alternative is stove pipe ERP’s justified as suites that detracts from the overarching objective of end to end transactional processing.

The ERP’s that take too long or fair are those that fail to institute change management and either do not understand or can grasp the big picture.

I agree with your points about going too far in our ERP thinking and that small and medium enterprises need to integrate a best of breed product. I think it’s also important to consider the history of ERP before reaching conclusions about its future. ERP has become an important business application, and needless to say, ERP has helped industry in both capital and noncapital aspects, but there’s still much room for improvement.
