MONTREAL, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — TEC is pleased to announce the launch of the 2019 ERP Experts Survey Report. To garner a broad range of perspectives and predictions, TEC took a unique approach by combining its expertise with insights from around the ERP expert community. The survey results provide a mix of expert reflection on disruptive technologies and practical advice for companies considering a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solution for their business, including benchmarks for ERP budgeting and timeline for companies of all sizes.

TEC’s expertise, borne from 25 years of presence in the enterprise software industry, was put into service to create a questionnaire that 39 handpicked analysts, consultants, and vendors used to weigh in on all things ERP in 2019.

“We wanted to provide our readers with a panorama of the ERP technology landscape. It’s easy to get excited about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, but the survey brought to light that many challenges related to ERP are centered around a business’ own paradigms and processes,” said Sarah Gibson, Senior Director of Analyst Services. “Keeping an eye on emerging technologies is important, but the single most important step in an ERP project is honing in on key business needs and ensuring the selection, implementation, and life cycle of the ERP system revolves around them.”

The TEC 2019 ERP Experts Survey covers a variety of issues falling under two main categories:

1)    What is disrupting the ERP technology landscape and what will its impact be?
2)    What are rational benchmarks, such as for budget and timeline, for a successful ERP software selection and implementation project?

They survey results give the inside scoop on 2019 industry trends and predictions, including the impact of emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning, and industry 4.0 trends such as digital transformation. Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions, noted, “ERP will be a spoke rather than a hub for business process integration and improvement.”

The survey also provides unparalleled advice and insights from experts around the community on how to drive successful ERP projects to completion—and how to avoid costly delays and poor implementations.

Ned Lilly, CEO of xTuple notes, “Engage with someone (vendor, consultant) to map your current business processes and to define your post-project business goals. It’s always money well spent, and if you do it with the right vendor, they should credit the cost against later professional services.”

The TEC 2019 ERP Experts Survey Report is now available online—and can be accessed for free.
