ERP Past and Future

Do you think that ERP matters?
If the answer is yes, you could learn something from its past and present in order to forecast its future.
I recently came across a site trying to build a "wiki" timeline that covers the history of manufacturing & ERP software.
The timeline includes key events that have shaped the ERP software industry over the last 50 years. It's a quick way to understand the context of current enterprise software events.
The term ERP's definition in this context is a broad definition including applications such as CRM. 

The following chart and title are an example of one of the key events.

I shared with the site's creators some of my opinions about ERP & SOA and ERP & SaaS.
If you read previous posts such as  Future Applications: SaaS or Traditional? , you are aware of my opinion.
