Talk:ERP system selection methodology

Jordiferrer, I read the article &quot;ERP System Selection Methodology&quot; (you were the latest Wikipedian who have edited it) and wanted to share some feedback with you&mdash;please tell me whether it's the right way to contact editors like you, otherwise please forgive me and advise me how to do so in a more appropriate manner. Wikipedia is known for being adamant about spam that people may be tempted to covertly add to its content, so I didn't want to give it a try ;-)

My point is about the External Link Section. Indeed, I don't understand why, out of the 6 links provided


 * 3 links (ERP Expert Online, and 2 links for Neustro) are related to self-proclaimed experts who are in fact integrators, hence vendor dependent consultants who would bias the selection process at the very begining to the few solutions they have a financial interest in;
 * 1 link (Article on ERP Failure) is a blatant made-for-adsense (MFA) site providing nothing but shallow information that may be considered valid at first sight;
 * 1 link (CIO article) is about definitions and high-level articles that don't talk about the selection issue; and
 * only 1 link (BSM Consulting) seems to be about an independent consultant, although I was not able to find within their site such words as independent, impartial, or unbiased.

So why not remove (almost all of) them to put some vendor- and integrator-independent links that would definitively be more relevant to the real topic of the article, that is, the ERP software selection process, methodology, and tools? ;PascalPerry (talk) 05:36, 23 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your valuable comment regarding the external links. I had not reviewed them and you are right. I will now delete the spam links, and I will add a link to http://erp.technologyevaluation.com/, which is one neutral evaluation site. Feel free to add your comments here, or to edit the article.--Jordiferrer (talk) 09:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * before adding this link, could you please illustrate what resources are available here? This seems to be a consulting site, with nothing but pay-per-view or reqistration only material.  I'm not sure how this qualifies as an external link. I'd love to see what is useful here in illustrating the topic of the article, and not just promoting a service.
