by Timothy Prickett Morgan
There are two meanings of the word gravity: one is seriousness, and the other is a force of attraction that causes all matter in the universe to clump together. If you were describing the market for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software since growth more or less stopped in 2000, gravity would be a good word.
