Although 2021 promises to be milder than the year just gone by, several organizations have decided to scale back, regardless of everything, as well as revamp their business models , renew business processes and trigger profound organizational and technological changes.
Digital transformation , therefore, appears increasingly inevitable and necessary to survive and regain what was lost in 2020 and is strongly oriented towards the integration and/or optimization of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) in order to continue to meet customer needs and at the same time compete in a changing and unpredictable market.
While large organizations are upgrading their ERP software , smaller businesses are determined to make a change. Lisa Anderson, president of LMA Consulting Group, also states: "Smaller companies that may not have implemented ERP are realizing they will be left behind if they don't equip themselves with modern ERP systems .
In light of these important developments, there are 7 trends that will characterize the current year , among which Cloud , PaaS and Low-Code/No-Code , in addition to mobility, AI, ERP App stores and customer experience.
cloud front, there's been a significant increase in migrations and, more importantly, acceptance from ERP , with the latter increasingly focused on and appreciative of the potential offered by cloud platforms.
Along the same lines are PaaS and SaaS integration , solutions capable of providing global platforms for managing data and business processes aimed at improving productivity, and finally, the ability to customize ERP systems thanks to low-code and no-code approaches. ERP vendors are beginning to invest in this direction to be able to offer valid products in shorter timeframes by developing applications without the use of traditional programming languages.
With these important innovations, we are beginning to glimpse a real turning point in the IT landscape towards greater business efficiency , as well as determining an effective response to the (now well-known) gap in digital skills .
