You make some great points that most people do not fully understand. "An acquisition of an Open source ERP application by one of the large IT vendors will be thean acquisition of best of breed application (an ERP targeted at SME’s) - it will allow the vendor to bundle their existing technology and middleware with a business management application to offer a complete solution (along with services) to SME’s." I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks. Good post. You make some great points that most people do not fully understand.

The ERP business is VERY different than IT Infrastructure business - to start with, you need to manage business requirements rather than technical, the type of people you talk is very different, IT vs functional... it is another world definitely.

I wouldn't count out RedHat - they are synonymous with open source for enterprise with their Linux enterprise servers and have a strong channel going after medium businesses. Bundling their OS,app server and ERP application can makes much sense for them,possibly partnering with SI's to do the actual implementations. Time will tell. Ola Luis, great to have you here again!

I'm glad we are almost in the same page as I have been posting about this possibility, Sun entering in the arena of the ERPs by buying an Open Source ERP product. You can find it <a href="http://tikitak.blogspot.com/2008/01/sun-compra-mysql.html" title="Sun to byt MySQL" rel="nofollow">here</a>, <a href="http://tikitak.blogspot.com/2008/01/erp-de-cdigo-abierto-en-las-empresas.html" title="Open Source ERPs" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://tikitak.blogspot.com/2008/02/fusiones.html" title="Mergers" rel="nofollow">here</a> (please use the automatic translator in the right side) Regarding Red Hat, despite his award, I cannot see the capability of the company, do they have the resources and muscle to enter in this business? Regarding IBM, definitely I would be very surprised if they buy an open source ERP as they obtain a very good slice of their business by SAP implementations - are they to resign to the huge investments on people and infrastructure already made o worst, to such amount of good fees money? Oracle, is another situation. To be honest, they are impredictable - maybe it could make sense to fight in the SME ERP business where SAP with Business by Design seems to be serious Great post!
