~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quotable Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bob Runge, VP of marketing at Pivotal Technology,
offers this comparison between ERP and CRM, in Sep 1999, Information Week.
ERP, Runge says, is about relieving the stress and pain of integrating the inner
workings of a company, while CRM is about increasing revenue and performance.
"We're not Tylenol," Runge says. "We're Viagra."
