ERP in Sri lanka

ERP , I wonder how many of know what the H*** is ERP and who is doing it and why we need it ?
If I look back my history when we start studying IT , computing we all want to become IT manger one day, but we never know what IT manger have to do everyone was behind servers , network , projects , but it took so many years for us to understand demand and value of erp systems.
So why not erp?
If I look back 19** first few years of year 2k few people was involved on business solutions , as a new kid in town most of the education institutes and experts guide students to become software developer or system admin , I find many reasons behind this.
* Few ERP installations in town
* Few vender’s , few suppliers,
* Less information on market
* No place to obtain training/ hands on no real time scenarios
* Useless Gov advisors and IT leaders
* No one was willing to share information

2010 …..
lets come to present , where are we as sri lankans ?
we are still waiting for Indians to come and implement ERP here , It’s not the genuine reason we do not have IT experts , yes we do have them , the fact that no one is focused on business solutions , few experts do have domain knowledge on production or service operations.

So who ?

When I pay huge amount of tax to my country I don’t expect anything out of it , as sri lankans we never get anything from government , other than building up own stupid things they dont have people or time to think about future of it or it students, I believe this should come from someone who do have common feelings that we should wake up and show the value of studying ERP plus business related operations. In case if anyone ready to spend some time on doing something to our own country I will be so happy to spend my time on any project.
