The Baan about BPM is the beginning of the decline of ERP

The Jan Bean , while receiving the Internet access, mentioned that "BPM is the beginning of the decline of ERP ", "BPM will eventually replace ERP", let the author such a The ERP industry has been waiting for nearly a decade for practitioners to find it impossible to accept.

1th not accepted: internet era made erp looks dwarfed. bean considers internet The advent of the era is the key to prompting erp the final fall, because erp is the core of data, only through the flow of data to achieve departmental direct collaboration. Indeed, erp system is to transform many of the complex information into measurable numbers and data, and then build the appropriate digital model for the data. , and turn them into a series of binary code into the computer inside, for unified processing. But the processing of these numbers is not divorced from business, a document entry information, circulation links, not the system is not invented, but rely on the business of the Enterprise prototype abstraction, and ultimately for the business Management services. internet era has only increased erp does not undermine its fundamental purpose of managing the enterprise with the information of digital feedback.

2nd not accepted: erp is difficult to adapt to the current Span style= "Font-family:times New Roman;" >soa , cloud computing, this kind of technical architecture, even if implemented, will make erp system becomes unusually large and bloated. This is actually erp system is erp provides whether the product developed by the manufacturer can technically adapt to the current popular technology or architecture, such as soa , such as cloud computing. In fact, personally think bean is a bit of a concept here. According to his point of view, if your software takes into account the customization needs of the enterprise at the architectural level, the business people can establish the processes and rules according to their own needs, then you will not use the erp , but bpm .

erp What is the ? Enterprise Resource Management Plan, the realization of material resources management (logistics), Human resources management (flow of people), financial resources Management (Treasury), Information resource management (flow) integration of tools. Whether to customize the process, whether it embodies cloud computing, is only the function of the system. erp vendors can fully use the new technology architecture to re-develop, but after development should be called erp , not bpm .

In fact does have a small impact on the old erp products, in the sense that the requirements erp System of the enterprise to fully follow the software set up the process of operation of the product does not adapt to the current management needs of enterprises, only reflect the information can not be efficient analysis of products will gradually withdraw from the market, replaced by soa schema, new erp .

Therefore, the individual believes that: theBean 's view should be changed to BPM is the beginning of the end of the old-fashioned ERP , or BPM is a new type of ERP agent. Domestic ERP manufacturers should also adapt to this trend as soon as possible, to reconstruct or perfect the existing products, otherwise it is really going to end!
