COTS Applications Roadmap

IT organizations have two choices when it comes to providing end users with application functionality -- they can BUILD or they can BUY. The COTS Applications Roadmap focuses on the latter, encompassing all commercial-off-the-shelf application packages.
 
This poster divides the world of applications software into two halves: (1) horizontal cross-industry applications and (2) vertical industry applications. The poster includes only horizontal cross-industry product listings, and not vertical industry product listings. The roadmap depicts horizontal applications as a value chain moving from back-office/buy-side to supply chain management (SCM) to enterprise resource planning (ERP) to customer relationship management (CRM) to front-office/sell-side. Goods and services move left-to-right through the value chain while money flows in the opposite direction, from right-to-left. Other product categories included on the poster are: Financial & Accounting, Human Resources, Sales & Marketing, Order Management, Manufacturing, Engineering, Distribution & Inventory, and Procurement.
