Yes, believe it not, we showcased full Linked Data based eCRM years ago, 
but as per usual, these things have never ever been heard of in the land 
of Linked Data.

Think about the entire eCRM realm super charged with Linked Data. The 
ability to integrate the data from LinkedIn etc.. into such systems, 
seamlessly.  Its already there for those who are actually interested in 
these powerful usecases :-)

Yes, this  could also be a complete ERP system. If works for CRM it 
works for ERP etc.. But until people settle down to understand the 
basics, they'll always end up (more often than not) missing the 
connections re. value enhancement, even when they are given a demo of 
such systems with emphasis of said benefits in mind.
