I think, even if we’re not dealing with “big business”, some form of “load balancing” of resources will still be needed – instead of one corporation selling to another corporation, it’s going to a matter of coordinating the sharing of resources between a massive network of small communities (a “federation” if you will) – ex. getting water and fresh food out to a desert community that has an over-supply of solar power
Agreed, just not SAP probably, as this thing is closed source, expensive and seems really focused on the needs of bigger business concerning government regulations and finance etc.
A federated ERP for communities, sounds cool I never thought of it that way, but that would be useful for sure.
