Data Management Today by Craig Mullins

News, views, and issues involved in managing data as a valuable corporate asset.

The History of ERP

I was recently introduced to this "wiki" timeline that covers the history of manufacturing & ERP software. It is nicely done with useful information, so I thought I would share it with my readers.

The timeline covers 17 key events that have shaped the ERP software industry over the last 50 years. It's a quick way to understand the context of current enterprise software events.

Of course, 50 years is a long time and there are gaps in the coverage. After speaking with the originator of this timeline, he tells me that the intent is to grow this to 35+ events and dates… with the help of industry professionals. So I hope today's blog entry helps to get out the word.

Please share your ideas and suggestions for improving this ERP Wiki.
