Explosion of ERP

The market of Enterprise Resource Planning is continuously growing. It is projected that it is stepping into the ‘billion dollar’ group. SAP B1 partners in India say that ERP is the single largest enterprise application which doesn’t come as a surprise considering the high rate. Hence companies are making ERP an integral part of themselves. The long list of benefits is one of the reasons why ERP is growing. However, the explosion has to be attributed to some other factors, other than ‘a list of benefits.'

The onset of recession period brought in bad news for a lot of people. However the ERP market was an exception to this dark phase. Recession forced industries to streamline their operational processes to increase efficiency at a lower cost. They found the answer in an ERP solution  as companies continuously seek for solutions that support and enhance their processes. During the recession phase, even the companies, which were sceptical about having an ERP solution, implemented it without having a single doubt.

Information is really crucial these days, which solely has the power to create a lot of impact on the company. Real time data needs to be available at all times, right from the back office to the customers. Decisions need to be made in a matter of minutes and the lack of right information will cost millions. An ERP system ensures that information is never taken lightly.  Another trend that has caught on in the corporate world is integrating various organizational applications, like that in sales, inventory, customer services to name a few. This is done to reduce company costs.

According to SAP B1 Partners in India, as companies seek to integrate a lot of applications, it is inevitable that the cost will go up. An ERP solution helps in covering a lot of applications, which reduces the costs, unlike other solutions. SAP B1 partners say that as there is advancement in technology, it will become more affordable for small and medium scale industries. Another advantage is that one will get high return on investments. A robust operation is what company aspires to across various departments. Luckily, an ERP system is an overall solution that addresses a lot of industrial issues and manages most of its processes. If all this doesn’t cause an explosion, then nothing else can!
