Is Industry-Specific Knowledge a Must for ERP Solutions ?
Most customers implementing ERP solutions prefer to work with ERP Implementers who have specific experience of their industry vertical.
This approach may also has it's disadvantages.
Many times industry-specific knowledge consultants may perhaps miss the 'Big Picture'in considering generic business processes across industries.
In my humble opinion, out-of-the-Box innovative thinking specially for 'Strategic Solutions' sometimes comes from People outside one's own industry who are not perhaps constrained by the narrow confines of their specialized 'industry knowledge'.
At a time, when all industries are undergoing radical transformational shifts, too much industry specialization could perhaps be a bottle-neck, rather than a boon.
