The Open Source ERP Guru put together an informative history of ERP applications:

ERP History | Open Source ERP Guru

It all began with 5 IBM engineers from Manheim, Germany , working nights and weekends on the next big thing in software: ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning. The year was 1972, and the business software world was a spaghetti of systems, vendors and technologies.

They even have a Flash-based history timeline. Go check it out!
