Manufacturing Journalist TR Cutler is writing a comprehensive series of feature articles about the changing role of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) in manufacturing and distribution. Cutler has interview hundreds of leading research analysts, consultants, and vendors from within the Manufacturing Software/ERP systems community and will discuss the current advantages of deploying state-of-the-art ERP. Cutler will share their views regarding how these benefits have been enhanced over the past year or two.
Cutler, who has written more than 1000 ERP feature articles since 1999, when he launched TR Cutler, Inc. and the Manufacturing Media Consortium said, “It is fascinated to look where the industry is at with regard to state-of-the-art ERP functionality, and the reason why some features have changed or been altered/adapted in recent times, both in general and in terms of specific vertical sector end-user requirements.”
He added that ERP must be viewed in the context of current integration issues, including a look at ERP and its relationship with front-office (such as CRM) and field-service systems and equipment. Cutler will look at the impact the Software as a Service (SaaS) model (and the Cloud concept in general) has had on the ERP market so far, and why.
Cutler said, “The impact of Digital Transformation, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and Industry 4.0 as well as the impact of analytics such as Business Intelligence and Big Data on ERP & Manufacturing Software are other variables to consider.”
