Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Market Trends

Increasing Popularity of Two-Tier ERP to Augment Market Growth

Enterprises globally are adopting the two-tier ERP strategy as it helps them run two merged solutions simultaneously. Organizations are in need of a resilient system at the enterprise level, but also require a complementing solution for subsidiaries or worldwide locations. And due to this, the demand for two-tier ERP is increasing. For instance, manufacturing processes at a subsidiary might need a more specialized module, while the core ERP system maintains standardized processes. The two-tier strategy is adopted by enterprises for saving their time and reducing the cost over the one-tier approach as subsidiaries can reprocess the solution templates specified by headquarters, while developing the new solution. Then the focus can fall onto other work, such as specific country localizations.

The two-tier ERP system helps enterprises improve the back office processes at a site that works under a particular business model operated separately from the parent company. To minimize quality cost and tighten project schedules trailed by reduced budget, enterprises are replacing single-tier ERP systems with two-tier ERP systems. By configuring a two-tier ERP system, enterprises can control the performance with the existing one-tier ERP system.

The above factors are augmenting the market growth.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Market Growth Factors

Growing Need to Improve Operational Efficiency and Streamline Business Processes among Enterprises to Drive Market Growth

The need for transparency and operational efficiency in business processes has forced companies operating globally to adopt various business models. Advancements in technology minimize the complexity of ERP software systems and allow third-party apps to conduct corporate processes more efficiently. For instance,

• According to a survey conducted by PwC, 80% of all CEOs believe that product commercialization will significantly influence their organizations and business models in the coming years.

Worldwide, companies are focused on enhancing their business processes to increase operational productivity, while keeping track of running costs. Organizations are looking for an integrated solution to handle various business operations, including sales & marketing, procurement, and supply chain management. The integration of an ERP software has simplified business operations, making them more efficient. Manual data entry is no longer necessary, allowing companies to see all the data on a single, uniform platform. This cloud-based software may make complex procedures, such as a multi-step production plan, easy and less tedious.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Integration Issues With On-premises Deployment Models to Limit ERP Adoption

Organizations have started to integrate cloud Enterprise Resource Planning software and services. However, they still face substantial problems while integrating these solutions with their existing systems due to high implementation costs and system complexity. The existing legacy systems must be strongly linked with the new cloud-based ERP to be executed successfully. Due to lack of resources, a few companies continue to depend on their present systems, which are based on outdated technology. They include manual procedures that result in a longer turnaround time and a high possibility of mistakes.
