    How Gartner Coined the Term by Adjusting the Term MRP II
    In the 1980s, Gartner took the term “MRP II,” which was manufacturing resource planning coined by Oliver Wight and created the term ERP. This software category became the most successful application category in history. 
    Why Did Gartner Coin the Term?
    There was a merger of finance and MRP systems. This meant vendors were buying MRP applications and merging them into their financial systems. At this time, the “integrated single system” was all the rage. Thus, Gartner took the word “enterprise” and replaced “manufacturing,” hence the resulting …

  • Who Are the Usual Suspects Providing False Information on Software TCO?

    ByPrimary Researcher

    … compared to the firm’s that they are competing with. And to put as little effort as possible into determining the total cost of ownership.
    Gartner Focused on Improving TCO?
    It is widely observed that Gartner introduced the concept of TCO back in the mid-80s.
    However, since that time, Gartner has done close to nothing to advance the use of TCO. And in fact, Gartner works against buyers from making better decisions based upon TCO. What is interesting about it is that Gartner emphasizes TCO calculation and drives their customers to the highest cost solutions. This is because Gartner …

    This is an exceedingly short article that covers the same introductory information about TCO.

    … is to say, no center.
    The problem is, with an application centric approach in your mind, every problem looks like another soon-to-be siloed implementation project.”
    Dave McComb is correct. The amount of software waste is enormous, and it is promoted by the largest firms, firms like Accenture, IBM, Gartner, SAP and Oracle, and many others. This waste’s major centerpiece is the proposal around using packaged software at the exclusion of internal custom development and using the largest (and most corrupt) software vendors and the largest (and most corrupt) consulting companies. This makes the companies application or vendor …

    Text Introduction (Skip if You Watched the Video)
    At Brightwork Research & Analysis, we receive very poorly informed questions frequently. Normally, the questions ask for our view or affirmation of an IT topic being asserted by some vendor or consulting firm or Gartner. This questioning allows the individual to ask the question to assert the status quo without thinking for themselves, which is the desire of many people who work in IT. For this reason, we thought it would be good to encapsulate some advice for SAP and Oracle that is not …
