Demands for Greater Enterprise Resource Planning Software Capabilities Welcomed by To-Increase

New blog post by Microsoft Dynamics solutions provider illustrates mix of pride and apprehension felt by most software providers on twenty-first anniversary of Enterprise Resource Planning.

Norwell, MA, April 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions, celebrates the twenty-first anniversary of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), along with corresponding demands for greater software flexibility and integration, with a blog post highlighting the occasion.

"This week marks ERP’s 21st birthday – and software vendors are celebrating with a mix of pride and apprehension," opens the blog post Enterprise Resource Planning Turns 21: Will You Come To The Party?, by Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase.

Cunha's post goes on to cite comments made by John Brand, vice president of research, Springboard Research, in a recent interview posted by ZDNet Asia. Within the interview, Brand indicates that today's ERP software buying decisions are being driven more by demands for flexibility and integration, rather than brand reputation.

"The pride we software vendors feel is vast – as our products are now being trusted to take on a much larger role in the economic growth of organizations," continues Cunha. "The natural apprehension we may feel is that because ERP software customers are drawn more predominantly to software capabilities, rather than vendor reputations, we must always dedicate ourselves to improving and evolving our offerings."

Cunha concludes his post by highlighting two major ERP improvements that Microsoft Dynamics, the solution offered by Cunha's company To-Increase, has committed to:

· Enhanced ability to integrate with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
· Assimilation and analysis of data from consumer-oriented technologies, including social media

"If you are part of the new crowd that will be attending ERP’s twenty-first birthday, I encourage you to learn more about our commitment to providing you with software that will not just support – but help boost – your economic growth," closes Cunha.
