Business systems
The business systems (ERP, SCM, SRM, CRM, HR, BI, etc.) constitute the digital Central Nervous System of a company. They ensure that there is an efficient and coherent network of business processes in the company’s operating model.

The business systems drive both the company’s core processes in the value chain towards customers in the form of production, distribution and sales – and the administrative processes for management reporting, financial management, procurement management, HR, etc.
The market for business systems is large and confusing to navigate in. There are both large all-encompassing “business suites” and specialized “best of breed” systems. And in both categories there is a large selection of industrial solutions – targeted at very specific industries. There are large global systems and there are smaller local solutions.
The systems are offered with different delivery models – from traditional internal operation to cloud-based services. In addition, business systems are standard framework systems, where optimal adaptation to the individual company is paramount to creating an effective operating model. Therefore, most business systems have created an ecosystem of partners who can configure and adapt the system to a given company’s concrete needs – the so-called implementation partners. Here, too, the market is difficult to monitor, as not all implementation partners are equally suited to deliver within all types of solutions and within all industries. So overall, a market with many opportunities – but also with many pitfalls.
The above clearly shows why selection, acquisition and implementation are crucial tasks for any company that wants the best possible business systems.
