I know an ERP company in China that is doing extremely well. Companies like SAP could not get their head around the idea that China was China and their suppliers and those being supplied to like to do their accounting different/opaque. They do not want a single db that contains all their supply and price data. This alone allowed a small startup to take on major customers in China. They built a system that lets each side track their aspects of the supply chain (and did not assume everyone needed to access a shared system) and hide just about everything else. I guess this shows there is not one model to rule them all.
