Gartner defines a product-centric cloud ERP suite as a set of loosely coupled products comprising: Operational ERP — supply chain and manufacturing-related functionality such as demand management, order management, material requirements planning (MRP), inventory management, supply chain/direct procurement, manufacturing control capabilities, and distribution/logistics. Financial management functionality (those vendors that provide only financial management as a suite are rated in a separate Magic Quadrant). Purchasing focused on indirect goods, services and capital equipment. HCM — for cost management as well as staffing for operational resources. Specialized, industry-specific modules or applications including, but not limited to, modules such as configure-to-order (CTO) or make-to-order (MTO), and field service management (FSM), or broader application solutions like enterprise asset management (EAM) and product life cycle management (PLM).

Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises

Gartner defines a service-centric ERP suite as comprising:

Financials, HCM and indirect procurement (administrative ERP)

 PSA — includes project planning and resourcing, project management, and project accounting and billing

Specialized industry-specific modules or applications — for example, grant management in higher education and public sectors

A service-centric ERP suite must provide at least financial management functionality from administrative ERP and either PSA or industry-specific modules for at least one service-centric industry. Optionally, the vendor may provide other administrative ERP capabilities (such as HCM and indirect procurement).

Integration of features is excellent, however it is proving difficult in switching from our existing ERM software. Design time has been slowed due to gates and manual entries for the beginning, but we hope this will improve our efficiency and accuracy in the long run. SAP helps to prevent us from cutting corners and ensures that data is entered accurately the first time, allowing us to trust what is in the system.

Overall expectation is bad as deployment failed to meet the deadline and affects the business process with more delay and complication. And till now no one knows when finish and want to return to our old ERP 4D system.

Everything you need in ERP you will find in this software. But the curve of learning is huge! There are so many options and so many features you will be confused and the user experiences its not good. It's not easy to use this software, but the time you get the knowledge of it, you'll be amazed by the infinite ways to use it.

Global Head Of ICT

Overall our experience with SAP is very good. The SAP ByDesign solution is performing well for us; we receive 4 new releases per year. Any incidents that we bring to SAP attention are followed up. Some quick, some take perhaps longer than desired to resolve. The support team is very responsive even though SNV does not have any specific support arrangements other than the support that comes with the license subscription. We do sense that within SAP the Bydesign product team is closer and more intimate with their client base, which is a pleasant experience. 

Project Coordinator

I am a Super user for many years for R / 3 FI CO SD
here in our company, the implementation was segregated, with many difficulties to give access to key users everything is limited, there is no centralization of environments everything has been divided by CC and Instances, many of the users do not have E2E knowledge of the features of this tool 

Ui/Ux Developer

Made for small and medium businesses, it is easy to use and has a very customizable Ui. The implementation was not so difficult, although streamlining it according to the needs of our organization did take some work. One of my main concerns is that the system becomes quite slow for heavy queries which breaks some of our end user systems built on top of the SAP system. But that does depend on the size of the company and it's database and there is a chance that you may not run into such issues as long as the system is scaled properly.
