 | In the last several years, the manufacturing sector has moved from vertically organized structures to horizontal organizations; that is, a single company no longer controls its product from, let's say, the mine to the store shelf. Instead, today's companies control only pieces of the supply chain, and the companies and divisions controlling those various components may be located just about anywhere in the world. This model enables companies to concentrate on what they do best, but as a result the supply chain has become longer and more complex. The blurring of the line between manufacturing and supply chain logistics provides the opportunity to move efficient manufacturing management concepts to supply chain management.

These enterprises have limited IT resources and seek ERP systems that support their differentiating business processes well with deep functionality, but do not require significant overhead in the non-differentiating business areas (meaning the systems must minimize Total Cost of Ownership [TCO] and complexity). Although some see this market as large and mature, Gartner see this market as undergoing a "change of the guard," with older, established systems with deep functionality being displaced by more modern and agile systems.
