How did 3 letters systems appeared? 

What was designed in the 80s to contain the damages to the western economies posed by the cheap and high-quality Japanese products can no longer challenge the opportunities offered by the combination of cheap labor and the internet which allows for the delivery of new products and services at the speed of light.

Why are 3 letters systems doomed? 

Enterprise Resource Managers initiated the trend in 1973 with SAP R1 of 3 letter systems. It was based on the pair "program", "database". People would create a data repository, and software programs to deal with the transactions associated with a specific process. Over time,this concept was extended to niche markets within the organization. The first one to depart were billing and OSS, which then evolve towards BSS (Business Supporting Systems). With the advent of the internet, the concept of CRM evolved. They were first to adopt the internet into their 1970s model of database-program. Soon after, it was evident that this movement had created a series of data silos within the organization, which ultimately lead to the appearance of the EAI.

Bottom line, these systems are doomed because they are inflexible as they support their data repository on highly inflexible data storage patterns.
