Abstract: Abstract The Baan Corporation was created in 1978 by Jan Baan to provide financial and administrative consultancy services. A few years later his brother, Paul Baan, joined the company. Baan started to develop software packages, and in the mid 90s, with the emergence of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) industry, Baan became one of the market leaders and biggest vendors of ERP software, competing with SAP, PeopleSoft and Oracle. In the mid 90s, Baan opened several development centres in different countries: the main sites were in Hyderabad (India), Quebec (Canada), and the headquarters in Barneveld (The Netherlands).
