The world of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and cloud computing is changing so rapidly, the industry is scrambling to keep up.
From wearable ERP devices to hybrid cloud implementation, it take users a while to keep pace with the various applications available.
ERP software comprises several modules such as finance, sales, marketing and human resources. Business functions are effectively integrated by implementing ERP software. Doing so enables a seamless function of each of these business applications.
The benefits lead to a large adoption of ERP software among customers. Included in the various functions, finance alone will drive the ERP software market significantly by the year 2020, and will contribute to about 30 percent of the overall market revenue, according to a new report by Allied Market Research entitled, "Global ERP Software Market - Size, Industry Analysis, Trends, Opportunities, Growth and Forecast, 2013-2020." The report predicts the global ERP software market to reach $41.69 billion by 2020 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate, (CAGR) of 7.2 percent during 2014-2020.

It especially applies to processing problems that require extensive access to data–analytics, reporting or data warehousing and big data applications.
2015 is predicted to be a big year for business intelligence and ERP solutions, according to James Richardson, business analytics strategist. Richardson suggests that there are a few steps to help you incorporate business intelligence into your ERP implementation. Traditional ERP focuses on automating operations.
