Very insightful. Thanks for pointing me to Rinde’s post.
However, I find that the ERP (Rinde’s defintion) and the BRP worlds are distinguished too much. I think one of the problems knowledge workers have, working in ‘traditional’ companies, is the switching between ERP and BRP or between structured and unstructured information processes. There is little or none support for this switching. What we do see though is integration of e.g. Sharepoint with these tools for structured information processes. I don’t think Oracle, SAP, etc will truly understand this subtle switching between structured and unstructured. This will come from others, such as Microsoft(?).
This gap in support of knowledge work is well described in the IT Flower by Innovation Creators.
