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.
