In today’s world of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), Machine Learning (“ML”), Software as a Service, and technology applications (“tech apps”), there are numerous resisters for the need for Enterprise Resource Planning systems (“ERP”).
Questions arise about the applicability of ERPs, in today’s technology landscape.
People ask if they are keeping up with QuickBooks Online “QBOs” and Xero’s numerous plug-and-play tech apps.
They ask if ERPs will be replaced with AI and ML options. Or, if they are modernizing fast enough with AI and ML.
There are questions about the applicability of “Enterprise” all-in-one systems when there are so many user-friendly “best in class” software that operations or sales favour, such as Salesforce.
These are just some of the barriers we hear about, and we want to address them head-on.
The ERP market is experiencing growth. We will explore how tech apps do not meet the needs of businesses with complex growth. And how our partners at Acumatica and NetSuite are staying on top of AI and the latest automation. We will show you how growing businesses need to plan for an ERP, even in today’s ever-changing technological landscape.
ERP Market Data
The ERP market is indeed growing, with specific numbers indicating a positive trend:
– Market Size: The global ERP software market was valued at $50.57 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $123.41 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.7% from 2022 to 2030.
– Startups: While exact numbers of startups using ERP systems are not readily available, it’s known that a significant portion of startups, especially those experiencing rapid growth and complexity, are adopting ERP solutions to streamline their operations.
– IPOs: In 2020, 1,415* companies had IPOs worldwide. While not all these companies may be on an ERP system, it’s common for companies preparing for an IPO to implement ERP systems to ensure robust financial reporting and business process management.
– Forbes 100: A study has shown that about 90 percent* of Fortune 500 companies use an enterprise resource planning system.
These figures underscore the increasing reliance on ERP systems across various stages of business growth and the expanding market for ERP solutions.
The trend toward digital transformation, the need for integrated business processes, and the demand for data-driven decision-making drive the adoption of ERP systems globally.
Those who plan to stay off ERPs are going to be left behind.
Those that hold off will face more complex implementations and, therefore, more expensive than if they had invested in their strategy and foundation earlier.
