Let’s ask ourselves this question – why do we implement ERP? – For better reporting within enterprises; for simplifying tasks; for the cloud and of course, the analytics.
In fact, Enterprise Resource Planning can be the most effectual investment a company would ever make. Everything gets integrated – finances with sales, human resources with production. In short, it takes a company to the next level of progress, turning it into an entity of versatility and heightened productivity.
But like they say, ‘with success come challenges.’ Our technologically minded world is dynamic and ever-changing. It needs to be refreshed every now and then with innovation and better ideas. ERP solutions are no different. They are often questioned – WHAT NEXT?
So here we are, with this year’s latest trends; as of now they are defining what we call Enterprise Resource Planning.
1. Hybrid-Cloud Model
All-cloud Enterprise Resource Planning could be the future. But, at present, the market experts are favouring the hybrid-cloud model. Organisations that use it merge their cloud applications with the on-premise ones.
In short, it’s a way of utilising the essence of both the worlds. Needless to say, this should be the final nail in the coffin of the ‘cloud vs. on-prem’ debate. Should your company be needing ERP in Kolkata, make sure to opt for the hybrid model.
2. CRM Frenzy
This is a special craze with consumer-centric companies. The period is that of heavy recession and the performance graph of most business entities is fast declining. Not using customer data to their best interest could be a possible threat to such companies. This is why purchasers of the software suite are demanding CRM to be infused in it.
3. Mobile ERP
Nobody would deny the rising use of smartphones and tablet PCs. These devices have gripped us all for good. Companies have noticed this trend; they wish to customise the suite, so that it complies with the changing technology. All Indian ERP companies must meet this growing appetite for mobile Enterprise Resource Planning.
4. SMB Adoption
Until now, Enterprise Resource Planning was a preferred (rather, affordable) solution for large sized businesses and top industry players. However, the hesitation has been overcome. Today, small businesses are adopting it as well, despite the intricacy and cost.
Interestingly, a large chunk of the SMB industry still cannot get the hang of the software, except that it helps their business. It has thus, become the responsibility of the ERP companies in Kolkata and beyond to explain the nitty gritty of the suite.
As of now, these are the hottest trends in the market. And it won’t be stopping here. Like we discussed, the field is dynamic. It will always keep asking – what next?
