A product-centric cloud ERP must provide, at a minimum, operational ERP and financial management functionality.<\/p>\n This year’s report reveals that the ERP market moves in a generational technology shift driven by the wider acceptance of cloud computing. HCM and financial management cloud solutions are leading the way, while supply chain, manufacturing and operations, and enterprise asset management adoption rates are moving at a faster pace in the last three years before. Gartner expects this growth trend to continue in the following years.<\/p>\n Specifically, Gartner predicts that by 2022, 30% of large enterprises will have moved to a platform- and product-centric approach with standardized ERP capabilities at the platform core. By 2025, the top four ERP vendors will rebrand themselves as business platform providers, and through 2025, 40% of ERP implementations will underachieve as a result of underinvestment in integration.<\/p>\n In this Magic Quadrant, Gartner evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of 9 providers that it considers the most significant in the marketplace and provides readers with a graph plotting the vendors based on their ability to execute and their complete vision. The graph is divided into four quadrants: niche players, challengers, visionaries, and leaders.
