As 2017 was drawing to a close, I was curious to see if I could find an overview of what happened in the ERP space during the year. I found hundreds of blog posts, articles, reports, etc. and even just scrolling through all of these would take a long time, so I decided to rely on vendors’ websites. I expected to find concise news much quicker, but this was an unrealistic expectation (I’ll explain why below).

While I was doing all this, I was also thinking about how difficult it would be for an ERP buyer to find this information—especially someone who may not know the market and its players very well and who does not have dozens of hours to spend on this type of research.

That’s when I decided to put all the news I could find together in one file and categorize the information by topic.
