>While you may know what ERP stands for, you're missing the bigger picture on what modern ERPs do.
I think his point was that ERPs are specific proprietary applications that are not used as tools for programming, and wouldn't ever show up in any CS curriculum. I didn't see any statement on what ERPs are capable of doing.
>But, my college degree's in management and economics, so things like accounting and business processes were already something I had passing familiarity with. ERPs will make little to no sense if you don't understand how corproate accounting works.
>You might find a business-related class that covers ERP-related topics?
I'm not sure why your response was framed like a disagreement.
My intent was to expand upon the idea that it's only a business tool, and direct somebody looking to get into ERPs on how to get educated in them. Taking a course related to ERPs, or for a business user, will get you not very far if you want to do things on the technical side. This is why I mentioned training, career paths, and how I became familiar with them.
The only thing I disagreed with the parent about was that I don't consider ERPs to be a "specific domain," anymore than "all of the businesses in the world" is a "specific domain." My intent was to explain to a layman that ERPs manage a ton of different processes, and that they are very complex applications with many different options.
Apparently, I have failed to do that. So, sincerely, all apologies.
