What You Need to Know About the Market That Will Soon Be Worth $117.09 Billion

We have long known that digital solutions are imperative for any company that wants to survive in the market. Without them, companies cannot keep pace with the competition, which can have a significant negative impact on their business. One of the solutions that facilitate the daily operations of companies is certainly ERP (enterprise resource planning) – a system that establishes oversight and control over business processes.

In recent years, the use of ERP systems by large and small companies has increased, which have discovered all the advantages of using cloud ERP, and trends indicate that this momentum is not stopping. After reaching $94 billion four years ago, Statista predicted that this year the global ERP market will be worth $106.4 billion, and by 2025 it will reach $108.8 billion. Allied Market Research expects the ERP market to weigh $117.09 billion by 2030 with a 10 percent annual growth.

Advanced Solution

All of this clearly shows that companies, regardless of their industry, cannot bypass ERP if they want to strengthen the automation, connectivity, and efficiency of their processes. ERP saves money, centralizes data management, and enables access to data and analytics in real-time to make better and timely decisions. For example, by identifying bottlenecks in business with the help of ERP, difficulties can be quickly resolved, accounting is made easier, and effective inventory management prevents accumulation.

However, if a standardized SAP ERP solution SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition is used, which contains the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic process automation, and analytics, it enables additional state-of-the-art insights and decision-making support. SAP, as the most experienced global ERP manufacturer, has offered an advanced SaaS (software as a service) ERP solution of the new generation based on the SAP HANA database, suitable for organizations that need standardization and best practices for addressing complex business systems. It does not matter whether it concerns multiple business units or the needs for future growth driven by acquisitions.

Process Standardization

SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition allows companies to scale operations according to their needs and significantly reduces the time required for implementation. Regular updates and access to the latest features and functionalities avoid costly upgrades. Due to the high standardization of processes, this SAP cloud-solution enables a higher return on investment, rapid implementation, and lower ownership costs. Organizations do not need to set up and manage hardware and software infrastructure but can access the system from any device via the internet and subscribe to use SAP’s software and accompanying infrastructure.

The cloud infrastructure allows companies to scale their SAP environments according to their needs, and such adaptability is especially useful for organizations facing seasonal fluctuations in demand or rapid growth. Additionally, SAP fully manages system updates so that users do not need extensive IT resources nor face business interruptions. Since SAP manages everything from architecture to security monitoring, threat assessments, vulnerabilities, and audits, users can focus on their core business activities and enhancing their competitive advantage.

Planning for Success

Due to its ability to manage and optimize business processes, SAP solutions are widely used across many sectors and industries worldwide, noted Mihael Žagar, project manager at KING ICT, and we can see the same trend in Croatia. More and more companies from various sectors such as finance, manufacturing, trade, distribution, IT, and energy are using SAP solutions, and many governments and public sector organizations are following suit.

– Within this market segment, S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition is particularly interesting for medium and large companies that have complex business processes and a need for advanced ERP functionality, making SAP a top tool for managing business based on best business practices in such organizational structures. Failing to plan is the same as planning to fail: for this reason, SAP’s cloud integrates various artificial intelligence technologies to support the decision-making process in companies. Machine learning enables the analysis of large amounts of data, identifying specific trends in operations, allowing companies to predict outcomes and plan resources and long-term business strategies. Robotic automation optimizes resources by automating simpler or repetitive processes, thereby directing the focus of employees and decision-makers towards analysis and making more complex decisions critical to business – emphasized Žagar.
