At present, collaborative software is becoming more and more popular, many software vendors, especially ERP vendors, are gradually awakening, they add more and more supplier management system functions to their own products. The market led to many of the original supplier management systems in the field of software vendors began to invade the ERP software market. Such a situation also occurs in the CRM field. In this case, people can not help but wonder: ERP, SPM and CRM, will not be integrated in the future?
Enterprises in the implementation of information transformation, often will make judgments, software products from a manufacturer to buy or from a number of?
The answer to this question can be manifold. On the one hand, almost all manufacturers will instinctively expand their business scope, expand their product line, such as IBM is the hardware, software and services to occupy, software empire Microsoft has already started to provide game consoles and other hardware products. In addition, the market demand will be the birth of such a software company: it sells both vendor management system software, but also sell ERP software, or the integration of these products into a solution to sell together. Some of the domestic companies have a keen sense of smell, such as 8thmanage, has begun to open up in this area, if you are too far East to choose too much trouble and enough money, can be in a company unified purchase, like to buy brand computer.
However, the answer is no from the perspective of the technical architecture. In the field of technology, distributed, standardized, and modular are irreversible trends. The example of a compatible machine from a computer can be a good understanding of this trend. The current widely popular "service-oriented Architecture (SOA)" is another testament to this trend. The brand computer is outdated and can be bought again, but the price is not outrageous anyway. However, the enterprise's information system from the beginning of the re-construction, its cost is far from the average enterprise can bear. Therefore, in the construction of the supplier Management System , the application enterprises do not have to pursue "eat a fat", do not fantasize through a project, through careful consideration and planning, one-time to the entire supply chain system construction complete.
Therefore, enterprises in the implementation of the supplier management system process, need to follow their own needs, can be similar to building blocks, follow the market, in time to the existing functional modules like building blocks to replace, upgrade, down-to-earth step by step implementation.
