Top ERP Thought Leaders

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are used by large organizations to integrate business processes across various departments, and optimize their workflow. However, recent research from Gartner asserts that traditional (or “legacy”) ERP solutions are under threat from cheaper, more flexible systems as cloud-based solutions continue to mature. Industry giants SAP and Oracle have responded to this increasing competition from smaller vendors by changing their mix of on-premises and cloud offerings.

As the ERP landscape continues to evolve amid this disruption, so too does the conversation around the subject. We looked at the Twitter conversations around related hashtags such as #erp and #erpsoftware, using PageRank analysis to surface the most influential stakeholders talking about ERP today. From this, we produced a list of influencers, as well as a network map of the connections between them.

The network includes a wide range of stakeholders, from industry experts, analysts, thought leaders, consultants and writers to representatives of ERP vendors large and small such as SAP, Oracle, Sage, Plex Systems and Acumatica…

…wait, what’s that – you wish you could see a ranking and network map of the most influential organizations within the ERP industry, so you can see for yourself which firms are vying for dominance? Well certainly you can, because we put all of that analysis together for you in one neat download.
