Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Procurement Intelligence: A Closer Look
The enterprise resource planning (ERP) software category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% from 2023 to 2030. The North American region accounts for the largest share of the category. Growth is being fueled by an increase in the use of mobile and cloud apps, as well as by the demand for operational efficiency and transparency in company operations. According to the Oracle Netsuite 2022 report, businesses keep converting to cloud-based ERP. It also states that to further automate, increase visibility, and improve customer experiences, ERP is merging with other technologies like social media and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. One of the top ERP trends for 2023 is the two-tier ERP. Industrial clouds are gaining prominence steadily. An industry cloud is a combination of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and software-as-a-service (SaaS). Industry clouds are witnessing a significant amount of growth in 2023. They are completely modular and provide the flexibility, inventiveness, and ability to adapt required to suit highly specific industry requirements. All such factors are in turn driving the demand for this category.
There are various reasons why a company could decide to purchase a new ERP system. Increasing productivity, enhancing business intelligence through better data gathering and analysis, accelerating the order-to-cash cycle, and reducing labor expenses are the most common reasons. To justify the ERP cost, the company must meticulously consider the features and modules it requires, and the financial value it anticipates the ERP will provide. Smaller businesses are increasingly using the SaaS model due to its flexibility and potential for growth. A small business is not required to make a significant upfront investment in infrastructure or license fees since this approach uses cloud-based hosting. To provide flexibility and scalability, the subscription-pricing model depends on the number of users or the volume of transactions. There are fewer upfront costs because there is no requirement for on-premise hardware extension.
