    … systems was that it would combine many different applications into a single system, thus reducing application integration issues. However, after the major ERP vendors sold the ERP product into companies, they began to develop specialized products for things like supply chain planning, business intelligence, customer relationship management, etc. This was done for several reasons. First, there was simply no way that an ERP system with its elementary approach to all functionality (with the possible exception of finance and accounting) could meet all the needs of companies. Secondly, once ERP companies had sold their ERP applications, they needed to develop more

    … from vendors and cannot be modified in non-trivial ways. Each of these various systems therefore needs to store its own version of common data or entities, and therefore each system must retain its own copy of a record (hence immediately violating the SSOT approach defined above). For example, an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system (such as SAP or Oracle e-Business Suite) may store a customer record; the CRM (customer relationship management) system also needs a copy of the customer record (or part of it) and the warehouse dispatch system might also need a copy of some or all …

    These comments are in response to the articles on SAP support.
    Comment #1: From Rick Maurer
    I hope a lot of people read your post. You raise important questions and they are worth reviewing if you are considering out-sourcing SAP (or other ERP) services. And I think they are worth considering when you are creating an internal support team for any major software implementation.

    … considered a competitive product with other offerings. Obviously, SAP can only sell Solution Manager into SAP controlled accounts. Solution Manager should not be simply accepted by SAP clients, but actually chosen through a clear software selection process. My upcoming book will use Solution Manager as an example as to how ERP companies get their foot in the door and then begin dictating the IT spend of companies with various fear and false promises for improvement.
