This means that each vendor provides a flagship offering for companies with more than $750 million in annual revenue. Most companies of this size have complex processes and sophistication around consolidation and data management that other small to medium-sized ERP vendors can&#8217;t handle well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although these Tier 1 vendors tend to target enterprise-sized organizations, they also offer somewhat smaller company-sized ERP offerings.

SAP solutions can be deployed in a public or private cloud or a hybrid environment. With customers on older versions, such as ECC or R\/3, SAP is making a concerted effort to migrate them to the SAP S4\/HANA cloud solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, what is SAP S4\/HANA Cloud? Here&#8217;s an independent overview of the solution by Eric Kimberling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wsFOqgz7tTA?si=Ilm6dtg-bVqWqamJ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, in the study, SAP customers tended to have the lowest costs and the shortest durations. Panorama attributes this result to most respondents upgrading from ECC to S4\/HANA rather than to more difficult migrations like R\/3 to S4\/HANA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\">Here is a closer look at the Panorama survey findings for\u00a0SAP:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They had the most customers focused on supply chain issues, including transportation, warehousing, and inventory management.<\/li>\n<li>They had the least expensive projects this year.<\/li>\n<li>They had the shortest project duration this year.<\/li>\n<li>The SAP ERP implementation costs and timelines were the second largest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fact that the respondents reported focusing more on HCM is likely a function of trying to do more with fewer people. Accordingly, SAP customers reported that IT maintenance costs decreased due to moving to the cloud with S\/4HANA.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"reader-text-block__heading1\"><strong>Oracle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oracle provides a set of core applications as well as industry-specific applications. The vendor has comprehensive cloud options, including public cloud, cloud at customer, and on-premises.\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;\">Since\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/netsuite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NetSuite<\/a> was repurchased by Oracle a few years back and it&#8217;s their small- to mid-sized company offering, some respondents reported having NetSuite.<\/span> Still, most were on Oracle EBS Cloud, Oracle&#8217;s flagship offering for large companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\">Here&#8217;s an overview of Oracle EBS Cloud from Eric Kimberling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XTGWfrai1gE?si=Abe88NdY_0oGzAV4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the Panorama study, Oracle had the most expensive projects and longest durations across the board. Possibly because of this, and because Oracle customers tend to develop KPIs for their projects up front, they also tended to achieve the highest benefits realization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\">Oracle\u00a0had:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most expensive projects.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The longest-duration projects.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fewest number of customers who considered the projects to be digital business transformation. In other words, they considered them ERP initiatives only.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">A heavy focus on solving supply chain issues.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Productivity, efficiency, IT maintenance costs, and customer experience improvements.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most significant improvements were in standardization and compliance compared to other vendors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"reader-text-block__heading1\"><strong>Microsoft<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Microsoft&#8217;s enterprise software options include a variety of solutions within its Dynamics 365 offering. Microsoft is continually building new data centers to support its Azure cloud capabilities across its ERP solutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\">Many of the\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0respondents to the Panorama survey had:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">A focus on Sales and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functionality.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most customers focus on Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) functionality rather than ERP, supply chain, and logistics.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">A strong emphasis on Reporting and Analytics, which is not surprising given Microsoft\u00a0tools like Power BI.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The greatest realized benefits were productivity, efficiency, customer experience, and user acceptance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"reader-text-block__heading1\"><strong>Infor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infor&#8217;s focus has been on its industry-specific ERP solutions, which are designed for enterprise-level and small to medium-sized businesses. These solutions are delivered in a multi-tenant cloud. Infor&#8217;s flagship ERP is the Infor CloudSuite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infor\u00a0customers in the Panorama study were mostly doing digital transformation projects rather than just ERP implementations. They were looking at budgeting, planning, compliance, operating models, and benefits realization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the study,\u00a0Infor\u00a0had:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most customers whose projects were digital business transformations.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most customers focused on Finance and Accounting, budgeting, and planning aspects of the software.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The biggest benefits realization in standardization, compliance, and new operating models.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">For fun, I did another article about a &#8220;face-off&#8221; head-to-head comparison between Infor\u00a0and\u00a0SAP\u00a0called <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/enterprise-resource-planning\/infor-cloudsuite-vs-sap-s-4hana-which-is-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Infor CloudSuite vs. SAP S4\/HANA \u2013 Which is Better?&#8221;<\/a> I hope you like it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"reader-text-block__paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The four &#8220;titans&#8221; in this article\u2014SAP,\u00a0Oracle,\u00a0Microsoft, and\u00a0Infor\u2014are considered the &#8220;tier 1&#8221; ERP vendors.
