This article provides a brief discussion of ERPs, including how they can be defined, their component parts, and the evolution of technologies since the 1940s. The article then offers a general overview of the current ERP vendor market landscape based on academic journals and industry reports. The article’s methodological approach is a review of both academic literature and industry expert reports, which the author performed to trace trends within the landscape. Results of the analysis demonstrate that the rapidly evolving market landscape dates back at least six decades, and there are many large, longstanding ERP vendors. Yet, opportunities like cloud computing may result in niche products in existing industry players or through start-ups. Nonetheless, technologies such as blockchain are emerging. It remains to be seen how they will impact the ERP market.

Autoethnography has emerged as a relatively new methodological approach within the fields of project management, information technology, organizational behavioral studies, and more broadly within the social sciences. As a reflexive methodology it offers the beginning and experienced researcher a means of critically exploring the social forces that shapes ones involvement in the information technology project implementation process and subsequent the project management experience. In this article the authors discuss the significance of autoethnography as it was utilized to research the experiences of project managers in the enterprise resource planning systems implementation process. The process involved recollecting, writing and re-reading experiences in light of social capital and organizational theories that explore the socio-psychological and cultural aspects within the implementation period of an enterprise resources planning system. The autoethnographic approach used in this article contributes to the emergent methodological literature that embraces the textual or narrative turn within qualitative studies of information technology and project management.

Cloud enterprise resource planning (Cloud ERP) is an internet- and cloud computing-based enterprise information system developed on the cloud platform. Cloud ERP has lower costs and shorter development time compared with traditional ERP system, but it remains in a state of information isolated island. To maximize the advantages of cloud computing and make up the deficiency of traditional ERP systems, it is necessary to break down the "wall" between enterprises, making cloud ERP enter a more open and interconnected ecological environment. The model-driven development approach contributes to a better resilient scheduling capability of ERP system, leading to faster development and deployment of it. In this article, the authors propose a “knowledge + data” model-driven open ecological cloud ERP and explain the definition and functions of each model layer. Finally, the effectiveness of model layers is demonstrated in the open ecological cloud ERP reference architecture.

Cloud computing is regarded as massively extensible, an on-demand configurable resourcescomputing model. It approaches the cloud infrastructure in a distributed rather than dedicatedinfrastructure where users can have full access to the extensible, reliable resources. Datagenerated by IoT attached objects is high, cloud is a key to store the incalculable datagenerated by these attached devices and it is the forward stepped towards the green computing,it removes the setups and installation steps as the cloud user accessing the hardware resourcesco-exist on different platform in distributed way.Cloud computing environment furnished a great flexibility and availability of computingresources at a very lower cost. This arriving technology opens a new era of e-services indifferent disciplines. In this paper, we seen cloud computing with its applications, mostcommon Cloud Service Provider such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, HP, and Sales force andwe present innovative applications for cloud computing in Enterprise Resource Planning.

The chapter intends to exemplify process innovation challenges and trends. A case is studied—stock management—at an important enterprise in Portugal. It involves the analysis and improvement of this process within a firm related with gas distribution. Stock management is critical to deliver value to other processes such as sales. This issue has led to a focus on improving the inventory process. As it involves sub-value chains, this work highlights a comparison between current process and its proposed redesign. DMAIC method (define-measure-analyze-improve-control) is systematically applied, and new data emerge from tests made in the ERP (enterprise resource planning system) of the company. The improved process tends to greatly reduce execution time, as well as the number of actors and amount of information circulating outside the system. Other aspects are studied in line with new trends in ERP platforms due to cloud computing.
