ERP Evolution from 1913 until present
ERP Evolution start in 1913, It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letterset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
History of the ERP – The ERP Evolution:
The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humor and the like).
If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.
It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable.
ERP Evolution and the rise of the internet:
With the availability of Internet, more software features appeared. Business needs also increased. The huge use of ERP, and the huge number of transactions besides the availability of internet triggered the need of hardware to support transactions. More needs arise, with the availability of smart phones. Businesses started to own huge numbers of servers. To keep these servers running, demand for power increased. The ventilation and cooling systems for servers became essential to keep the servers cool, and to store the huge quantity of data. Bigger companies started to consume more number of servers.
With more use of power and the increasing need of a green world, businesses and information technology providers went to think for alternatives, to reduce power use and to reduce carbon emissions.

ERP Evolution, from on premise to Cloud:
ERP can still operate on premise (using local servers at customer site), but with the Cloud era, all vendors selling ERP systems pushed their customers to the Cloud. Oracle, SAP, Microsoft beside other ERP vendors, provided incentives to their customers to move their ERP from on Premise to Cloud.
When customers use ERP through the cloud, the software delivered to the customer as a fully supported service. The ERP Cloud vendor is patching, updating and even managing the ERP application for the customer. Besides, the customer do not need to own a huge server room anymore. Cloud is now reducing the operational costs and capital expenses for the customer. Companies can use these resources elsewhere. Information Technology personal can now use their time for their own growth or for exploring more business opportunities for their organizations, which is something of more value than spending their time in front of a screen.
