This document discusses how ERP systems are struggling to keep up with changing business priorities and customer expectations in today's digital economy. While over 80% of large companies have ERP systems, only 27% of IT budgets are dedicated to them, and satisfaction remains low due to issues like complexity, rigidity and costs. The document advocates differentiating high-speed, agile capabilities from the core, low-speed ERP system using service-oriented architecture. This would allow companies to more quickly meet changing customer demands while still maintaining governance and standardization for the core business functions handled by ERP.
