I am interested in developing an ERP ('enterprise resource planning')
system using Lisp. At the moment, I know Lisp well but not much about
design of ERP software. Has anyone been down this path before?
Am looking for suggestions/pointers on:
1) a good reference on ERP to get up to speed quickly on that
application domain; and
2) any articles or code related to how the use of Lisp can be used to
advantage in ERP.
If there is not much public writings or code about Lisp/ERP, I wonder
whether that is because:
a. There is not much to write about -- i.e., if you know ERP and you
know Lisp, it is obvious what you have to do?
b. Any Lisp/ERP development tends to be proprietary?
c. Any Lisp/ERP development tends to be very specific to a (class of)
company, and thus not 'sufficiently generalizable' ?
d. ?
Thanks in advance.

Master Kenneth has imparted the pith instruction.
The superior student will grasp the meaning directly
in a single moment, without hesitation, as if harvesting
nettles. Others may require a gentler explication, e.g.:
It is far easier for an accountant to learn programming than
for a programmer to learn accounting. The same is true for ERP.
To be a good business programmer, one must first know business.

You'd better also be pretty intimate with databases (e.g. - SQL), as
well.
ERP systems involve *enormous* data storage requirements, as they are
tracking any number of sorts of transactions, relating to materiels
management as well as financial accounting.
