There’s a new research report out from Nucleus Research that focuses on what they call ‘edge’ applications, those “that fall outside the core functionality of software to automate processes, increase productivity and gain greater returns from their technology investment.”  In one sector, their research showed ‘edge’ apps deliver 4.2 times the return on investment (ROI) of core implementations.

Nucleus Research - ServceChannel and ERPIn this report, Nucleus, a global provider of investigative, case-based technology research and advisory services, calls ServiceChannel an ‘edge’ app in the enterprise resourcing planning (ERP) space as it’s used alongside ERP systems.  In particular, they highlighted how:

“As an edge application, Nucleus expects ServiceChannel to have positive effects on the ROI of core ERP implementations, due to improved quality of service, cost savings, heightened security, brand consistency, and analytic capabilities.”
