ERP Industry Prediction #3

Increasing focus on business intelligence and data

This trend is already gaining much momentum, but the business intelligence movement will continue to accelerate in coming years. After years of capturing reams of transactional and strategic data throughout their enterprises via their ERP software, organizations will continue to pivot their focus to how to make sense of this data and turn it into a strategic advantage. And simple reporting won’t hack it – enterprises will demand more robust and intelligent ways to make use of this information.
