That the ERP dream never really panned out is not necessarily the fault of the vendors. In reality, a large portion of the data that has an impact on a company is generated outside of its four walls. For example, a manufacturer is heavily reliant on the suppliers across its supply chain. To be able to determine the precise date on which a complex product is going to be manufactured can require up-to-date information on hundreds of parts. Other industries, such as oil and gas, might be impacted by everything from a traffic accident on a bridge to the weather. ERP vendors have tried to bring in this other data and integrate it with the ERP data, but the number of data points and dependencies has always outpaced the speed of the ERP vendors.
