TAM International is a manufacturer of drilling products and services for the oil and gas industry with headquarters in Houston, Texas, and a presence on six continents.

To achieve this, TAM International decided to adopt a state-of-the-art ERP system that would drive transparent and efficient business operations across finance, scheduling, and manufacturing.

鈥淥ur legacy scheduling system did little to empower our ambitions, and at times it felt like we were working for it.

We needed automated workflows and reporting, quality control, and the ability to connect different parts of our business for transparent planning and execution across the entire enterprise,鈥 explained Rebecca DeHoyos, supply chain director, TAM International.

TAM International was aware that 麻豆原创 was the gold standard for ERP in industrial manufacturing but believed that only the biggest corporations could afford it.

鈥淲e did not include 麻豆原创 in our early conversation, thinking we were too small for them. Then, an executive from the 麻豆原创 North America digital hub reached out to our CFO and presented not only the benefits of 麻豆原创, but also a convincing message backed by customer references that 麻豆原创鈥檚 cloud portfolio was indeed suitable for companies of all sizes. This changed everything,鈥 DeHoyos said.

Growing Your Business Begins with Growing Your People /2024/05/growing-your-business-begins-with-growing-your-people/ Mon, 13 May 2024 12:15:00 +0000 /?p=224858 An , sponsored by 麻豆原创, recently uncovered that close relationships between HR and IT are dynamically driving organizational success together. For 55% of the 550 respondents in HR and IT leadership roles, such collaboration improves talent development, optimizes internal processes, and modernizes systems for overall business success.

This finding confirms what thousands of midsize organizations using 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions already know. Accelerating the shift to digital HR isn鈥檛 just a critical advantage; it鈥檚 a game changer for business growth, especially as the need for new skills intensifies due to emerging technologies such as AI.

Oxford Economics鈥 research explains why: 鈥淎s AI-enabled technologies like chatbots and personalized recommendations become the norm outside the workplace, HR functions will need to strategize to incorporate similar self-service experiences and other AI-driven use cases into their employees鈥 way of working.鈥

Driving Growth with a Talent Management Edge

Midsize organizations often seek a human capital management (HCM) solution that supports scalability and can match the pace and extent of their business growth. Yet, they frequently operate with limited HR capacity, hindering their ability to compete in a complicated talent landscape where a shortage of a million experts is expected by 2030.

Expanding midsize organizations particularly struggle to secure or develop talent with the skills required for growth. Oxford Economics reports that 49% of surveyed organizations cite the inability to find the right talent to maintain operations as their greatest near-term risk. Similarly, 41% of HR executives believe their organization鈥檚 inability to reskill and upskill workers to adapt to changing needs is a top threat.

With , midsize organizations can address both concerns. The HCM solutions can help run a cohesive, organization-wide strategy for upgrading outdated technologies and implementing modern, foundational capabilities such as workforce management tools and AI-enabled functionalities.

Here鈥檚 a sneak peek into the outsized outcomes 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions can deliver:

1. Inclusive Job Descriptions and Assisted Candidate Screening

AI is transforming skills-based hiring by creating compelling job descriptions and enabling inclusive applicant selection so organizations can find the best talent quickly and efficiently. We have thoughtfully embedded these capabilities into the聽聽solution to provide organizations with tools to help attract and secure candidates with the right skills.聽

Embedded AI assistance helps talent acquisition teams make better, more equitable hiring decisions while reducing time spent on manual, tedious tasks such as creating job descriptions. Insights into applicant skills 鈥 extracted from r茅sum茅s using AI 鈥 allow recruiters to quickly identify and rank top candidates based on their match to a job, removing unconscious bias from the process.聽

2. Integrated Learning and Talent Management

As the nature of work evolves, so does the approach to HR technology solutions. Integrated learning and talent management systems are pivotal in addressing this dynamic, facilitating a smooth flow of development opportunities for employees.

By leveraging  solutions, organizations can tie learning initiatives with talent management processes to help create a cohesive, impactful talent strategy and employee experience. Employees can access learning resources based on their career goals and performance, aligning their development with personal goals and organizational objectives.

Unlock the potential of your people and your organization

3. Intelligent and Personalized Skill Recommendations

The Oxford Economics survey reveals that 30% of HR and IT decision-makers are starting to understand how AI can help meet talent development and retention goals critical to their company鈥檚 growth. This includes helping employees stay on track with a personalized view into what they have to, need to, and want to learn.

Adopting a learning management system that includes AI, such as聽the solution, gives organizations capabilities that can enhance the learner鈥檚 experience. For example, instead of a 鈥渟earch and find鈥 approach to identifying relevant courses and content, an AI-driven system can offer learning options highly relevant to the learner by automatically surfacing personalized recommendations based on the employee鈥檚 role, skills, needs, and preferences.

This approach can help save time by pointing learners toward the most relevant and valuable resources, instead of requiring learners to search for them alone. Most importantly, access to self-directed learning and development opportunities fosters a habit of continuous learning and personal growth.

4. New Opportunities for Employees to Grow

Both consumers and employees expect personalized experiences that are easy to navigate and relevant to their needs. Reflecting on this trend, organizations are leveraging solutions 鈥 such as the  solution 鈥 to support upskilling and reskilling efforts. 

The solution can connect employees with relevant projects, learning opportunities, mentors, and dynamic teams, presenting recommended matches through centralized access. Integrating talent intelligence into these recommendations can enhance their effectiveness by enabling the identification of skills gaps and the analysis of individual preferences and career aspirations. In return, employees can be empowered to grow and develop in ways that benefit them and the organization, helping to create a more engaged and motivated workforce.

Additionally, with the  solution, organizations can optimize employee experiences by properly preparing them for their next role. For instance, employees can feel empowered to own their career development by exploring career options with AI-driven recommendations and intelligent skills gap identification. Also, with AI-assisted goals, employees can quickly create more ambitious development goals aligned with their growth plans.

5. Holistic Skills Management

Competing for and retaining top talent remains a significant challenge for midsize organizations as the skills gap widens. While visibility into current skills and those required for the future can offer a competitive edge, tackling this issue fully requires a more comprehensive approach beyond skills alone. 

 can address all sides of this complex challenge by considering individual competencies, aspirations, and preferences. Leveraging talent intelligence, the suite allows organizations to enhance the talent experience with a strategy that can cater to the 鈥渨hole self鈥 of the employee.

6. Enhanced Productivity and Engagement

Aligning employee goals to business objectives is crucial for enhancing productivity and performance. With AI-assisted goals, employees can craft meaningful and aspirational goals in a fraction of the time it usually takes. 

The  solution enables flexible and continuous performance modeling. Real-time coaching and feedback are included in the flow of work, helping employees feel more supported and engaged while enabling continuous insights and growth.

The company鈥檚 work isn鈥檛 merely about providing housing or energy 鈥 it鈥檚 about enhancing quality of life and promoting collaboration within communities.

This vision is underpinned by concrete plans that will help turn it into a reality. That鈥檚 why Corvias recently began modernizing its business processes for the future. Together with , the company embarked on a journey that led to the adoption of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, private edition and 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform (麻豆原创 BTP).

A Vision for Optimization

Before choosing 麻豆原创, Corvias was grappling with a complex organizational structure, one characterized by disconnected systems and processes across accounting and purchasing. The allocation process was cumbersome and required redundant updates in multiple parts of the system, causing administrative headaches.

Executive leadership quickly identified the need to simplify workflows so that they could deliver information to the right stakeholders effectively and quickly and create an integrated system that could move data seamlessly between processes without human intervention.

Choosing 麻豆原创 for Success

To help overcome its challenges, Corvias selected two primary 麻豆原创 solutions: and . With them, Corvias hoped to primarily centralize its data, enabling integrated purchasing and accounting capabilities. The implementation also leveraged 麻豆原创 Fiori to help develop customized applications for allocating segment costs.

Today, Corvias鈥 processes are simplified and streamlined, thanks to real-time, actionable information accessible by key members of leadership through 麻豆原创. This allows them to be more strategic in their decision-making with greater visibility into real costs and profitability at both the individual and project levels, contributing to a more efficient financial management system for the company overall.

Far-Reaching Benefits

The adoption of 麻豆原创 has empowered the company to concentrate on enhancing its working capital through ongoing improvements. This has fostered a culture of innovation and encouraged a proactive approach to operational challenges and enhancements within the organization.

Get tailored-to-fit cloud ERP that adapts to your organization’s unique transformation

In accounts payable, for instance, the implementation of automated purchase order management processes has resulted in a notable decrease in touch points. The accounts payable team has seen a reduction from seven to two touch points in 75% of cases. This not only enhances efficiency but reduces the likelihood that errors will occur as often as they would with manual processes. The streamlined purchase-order management system has become a valuable asset in optimizing the company’s financial workflow.

Corvias has also embraced a more unified and secure information management system. By standardizing data security roles throughout the entire organization, 麻豆原创 provided a reliable and protected method for managing information. This consistency has made it easier for site teams to handle administrative tasks, freeing up their time to focus on more strategic initiatives.

Best of all, these 麻豆原创 solutions provided a flexible and scalable platform that allows Corvias to seamlessly incorporate acquired or new companies.

Looking Ahead to the Future

Corvias鈥 journey with 麻豆原创 and Avvale showcases the transformative power of streamlined systems and integrated solutions. By addressing the challenges of a complex organizational structure and disparate workflows, Corvias not only achieved operational efficiency but also laid the groundwork for future scalability. The collaboration with Avvale unlocked expert guidance and support throughout the process, highlighting the importance of strategic partnerships in navigating the evolving landscape of technology integration.

Today, as Corvias continues to oversee diverse projects in partnership with the military, higher education institutions, and communities, the adoption of 麻豆原创 stands as a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence across all its mission-critical endeavors.

Supporting Midmarket Business with a Strong Partner Ecosystem /2023/11/supporting-midmarket-business-strong-partner-ecosystem/ Mon, 27 Nov 2023 12:15:00 +0000 /?p=213972 Today, the strategic significance of procurement has shifted as small to midsized companies recognize that suppliers are crucial for achieving business objectives. And with procurement playing a key role in developing a collaborative and effective supplier relationship, it has become a valuable contributor for businesses.

However, with increasing importance comes new challenges. Companies also need to be concerned about risks that can result from not knowing enough about their supply chains. To avoid this, companies need to make their supply chain more resilient, requiring more visibility and transparency. This includes sharing information up and down the supply chain with partners about such things as supply and demand fluctuations, capacity constraints, and sustainability data around emissions, waste, and the health and safety of employees.

Drive agility, transparency, and resiliency across your supply chain

Let鈥檚 take sustainability, for example. In the past, the supplier selection and sourcing criteria for indirect and direct materials were more focused on price, quality, and delivery accuracy. Now, as more sustainability regulations emerge, the procurement function has turned into a strategic operation that is responsible for monitoring carbon emissions, waste, and other important sustainability factors.

We see a trend where CPOs and CFOs model sustainability costs into their systems and supply chains, which can lead to a renewed sourcing process where established suppliers might be replaced with ones that can fulfill new sustainability criteria and requirements. As such, midmarket companies operate with constrained resources and a more localized approach than their multinational competitors, so they often depend on partners to manage relationships with customers.

How 麻豆原创鈥檚 Partner Ecosystem Can Help

Generally, supply chains are often global, while suppliers and buyers are more localized. Given this, they require further assistance and understanding of a global supply chain. The 麻豆原创 partner ecosystem provides a unique combination of global partners that can manage global rollouts and business services for their clients while also providing local champions that understand local conditions best. Even if clients are local and need to provide global services, 麻豆原创鈥檚 partner-to-partner framework can provide global or regional coverage for local clients that require rollouts in multiple countries.

For instance, the ecosystem offers a crucial link to local customers, working as an extension of companies to help them find the right solution for their needs and offering a blend of expertise, such as overcoming potential language barriers or navigating local regulations.

At 麻豆原创, we鈥檝e put an increased emphasis on serving midmarket companies with partner-driven solutions. With programs like Boost Your Core and Spend Management for Midmarket Companies, the midmarket has become our fastest growth area in the whole of intelligent spend and business network, growing more than 50% quarter-over-quarter.

Move聽faster and spend better with 麻豆原创

But more importantly, the partner ecosystem for midmarket is growing even faster at over 70%, underlining the importance of partners for midmarket operations.

麻豆原创 offers powerful software and tools for businesses, but a strong partner ecosystem is crucial for tailoring those tools to the unique needs of each company. Partners can build customized solutions on top of the tools we provide, creating niche opportunities and use cases that can attract customers, which is especially helpful in a localized environment.

The offers businesses four specific models: , , , and . Each one allows midmarket companies to use 麻豆原创鈥檚 leading technology in conjunction with a partner鈥檚 unique IP to help grow their business. They can even group to earn a seal of approval that could further expand their customer base.

That鈥檚 where a solution like can also help. It offers businesses the visibility and transparency to help ensure delivery to the right customer at the right time, working to eliminate siloed processes to better collaborate with partners. This additional layer of insight can help midmarket companies make informed decisions to help prevent materials shortages, work stoppages, or demand fluctuations. And by allowing 麻豆原创 partners to manage the end-to-end relationship, companies can ensure that they鈥檙e getting the guidance and expertise that can help them continue to grow.

In today鈥檚 rapidly changing business landscape, midmarket companies face unique challenges when it comes to procurement and supply chain management. 麻豆原创鈥檚 emphasis on serving midmarket companies with partner-driven solutions has led to significant growth in this sector, highlighting the importance of partnerships in driving success.

With powerful software, customizable solutions, and comprehensive support from 麻豆原创 and its partners, midmarket companies can navigate complexities with confidence, ensuring their operations run smoothly to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

Western Sugar Cooperative Achieves Cost Optimization and Efficiency with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition /2023/11/western-sugar-cooperative-sap-s4hana-cloud-public-edition/ Wed, 15 Nov 2023 13:15:00 +0000 /?p=213687 Staying ahead of the curve is essential for any organization, especially one with a legacy as rich 鈥 and sweet 鈥 as Western Sugar Cooperative.

With over a century of history and more than three decades of working with 麻豆原创, the cooperative recently faced a daunting technological challenge: its aging on-premise ERP system was nearing the end of its operational life. The imminent threat of system failure prompted Western Sugar to seek a solution that would not only streamline its operations but also simplify its processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. The answer? .

A Sweet Solution for a Complex Industry

Western Sugar Cooperative, which is made up of over 850 growers and shareholders with long family histories in beet sugar, operates in a highly regulated industry where cost optimization is paramount. To maintain efficiency and prevent costly equipment failures and manufacturing downtime, the cooperative’s engineers must conduct regular preventative maintenance. Doing this proactively and intelligently was a challenge, and, more so, its patchwork legacy systems were unable to be upgraded to meet its needs. This is where 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud stepped in.

Adopt cloud ERP with speed, predictability, and continuous innovation

“麻豆原创 took the lead, all the pieces came together, and it was wonderful,” Richard Caluori, director of Corporate Controlling for Western Sugar, said. 鈥淥ur new system鈥檚 robust reporting and analytical capabilities are proving to be invaluable to our operations today.鈥

Through 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, Western Sugar is now able to generate and analyze detailed reports with ease, enabling it to make informed decisions regarding the replacement of machines and delaying of cultivation. It鈥檚 also simpler than ever to regularly assess maintenance costs and make confident business decisions.

鈥淚n a commodity-driven market like ours,鈥 Caluori said, 鈥渆very dollar we save on maintenance makes a direct impact on our bottom line.鈥

Nothing 鈥楤eets鈥 Transformation and Simplification

The adoption of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud marks a significant moment in the technological transformation of Western Sugar Cooperative. With a history in beet sugar spanning more than a century, the cooperative had accumulated a variety of highly customized software programs over the years. The move to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud eliminated the limiting customization aspect, simplifying the cooperative鈥檚 digital processes and streamlining its operations.

Some other key benefits Western Sugar has seen are as follows:

  • Revenue growth: By cutting costs and optimizing processes, Western Sugar stays competitive, attracting additional business and driving revenue growth.
  • Simplified invoicing: Automation has made invoicing more efficient, simplifying the process and reducing manual labor.
  • Faster reporting: Quick access to downloadable reports provides real-time insights into operations, enabling faster decision-making.
  • Improved data accessibility: Ease of accessing data empowers the organization to make data-driven decisions.

Looking Ahead to Creating More Efficiency

Western Sugar鈥檚 embrace of technology is not only helping it survive its dynamic industry, but to thrive within it. With 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud as a cornerstone of its digital transformation, the cooperative is now centralizing its invoicing process and exploring new opportunities, including , for efficiency and growth. The cooperative鈥檚 journey demonstrates the power of technology to drive sustainability and success in agriculture.

As Caluori puts it, “It is really a success story for the sustainability of our manufacturing. With 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud technology, we can pull daily reports with updated analytics of maintenance costs so that we can perform predictive maintenance, essentially prolonging the lifespan of our expensive equipment and saving money.”

GROW with 麻豆原创: A Game Changer for Midsize Companies /2023/09/grow-with-sap-game-changer-midsize-companies/ Fri, 08 Sep 2023 11:15:00 +0000 /?p=211481 With 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition customers across various industries and sizes can scale their business and stay agile. Three midsize companies show how that works in entrepreneurial practice and how GROW with 麻豆原创 takes these capabilities to a new level.

Start exploring with the 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition product tour

Midsize companies are of enormous importance to economies worldwide, as they employ around 55% of all workers. They are also very important to 麻豆原创, comprising more than 80% of the company鈥檚 customer base. Midsize companies rely on rapid growth for their long-term success 鈥 but that is often easier said than done in view of the shortage of skilled workers and other challenges.

An ideal way to nurture that growth is 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, an out-of-the-box cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that offers the latest industry-specific best practices and continuous innovation. And the recently launched GROW with 麻豆原创 solution can provide a complete offering to help any size business adopt cloud ERP with speed and predictability. It offers 麻豆原创鈥檚 ready-to-run cloud ERP solution, 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, together with adoption and acceleration services, as well as access to customers, partners, and 麻豆原创 experts to allow businesses to thrive in the cloud.

Agility Is the New Currency

Midsize enterprises need the ability to scale without driving up costs and complexity. Agility, especially for midsize companies, is the new currency if they want to survive and thrive in the current market.

A look at three midsize companies with 3,500, 700, and 50 employees demonstrate how it all works and how other companies can also benefit. They met at the Growth Summit and have three things in common. First, they are on an exponential growth path. Second, they are undergoing a digital transformation. And third, they are all using 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, which forms an integral part of GROW with 麻豆原创.

The key to success in any business is growth

Sustained growth requires the right blend of forward-thinking management; intelligent, cloud-based technology investments; and strategic financial planning. At the Growth Summit held earlier this year, top business and technology leaders came together to gain insights on how to achieve and manage sustainable growth across their organizations in a rapidly changing economic environment. In an inspiring panel discussion, Eric van Rossum, chief marketing and solutions officer for Cloud ERP at 麻豆原创, joined Christoph Lienhard, VP Global IT, Komax, Alessio Maso, CFO, VP Solar, and Carl-Fredrik Rindebro, CFO, WirelessCar, to discuss how organizations can continue to grow regardless of external factors by adopting a sound strategy and employing the right cloud-based technology solutions.

Watch an on-demand version of the customer interview .

Foster Innovation Through a Rock-Solid ERP Environment

The Swiss-based Komax Group, which has approximately 3,500 employees worldwide, is the market and technology leader in automated wire processing. Its growth path over the last few years included the acquisition of multiple subsidiaries. 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition offered the ability to quickly deliver an ERP solution to the new entities. 鈥淎nd there is the added advantage of regular new releases,鈥 said Christoph Lienhard, VP of Global IT at Komax. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 want to go back to tailor-made, customized ERP solutions. Forget all those long and drawn-out ERP upgrade projects.鈥

The company鈥檚 vision is the Smart Factory by Komax, which, among other things, provides innovative digital services for customers, connecting machines via cloud services and the Internet of Things to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. 鈥淭o achieve this vision, we need to have a rock-solid ERP environment, a solution that is aligned with our cloud, software-as-a-service (SaaS)-first strategy and that we can roll out across the company as quickly as possible,鈥 said Lienhard. 鈥淚nnovation is key for us.鈥

Although Komax鈥檚 innovation vision relies heavily on technology, Lienhard is quick to point out that managing innovation and leading the company鈥檚 vision is more of a people-centric job than a technology-centric one. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a change for the people indeed. Some of our employees go through this transition to cloud ERP once in their lifetime. And while they were used to getting everything they ever wanted in their on-premise ERP system, we now have a SaaS cloud ERP system that comes with a certain degree of standardization we acknowledge and appreciate to ultimately realize our vision of a Smart Factory. Get your people involved early, not at the end,鈥 he said.

鈥淕et People Involved at the Beginning!鈥

Alessio Maso, CFO at VP Solar, completely agreed. 鈥淕et the people involved at the beginning, not at the end. That鈥檚 the key,鈥 he said. With 50 employees, VP Solar is a fully integrated system distributor for renewable energy, serving Italian and European markets with electric vehicle (EV) chargers, photovoltaic panels, batteries, storage, and other solutions.

Last year, VP Solar implemented the new release of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. 鈥淲e are working in a very flexible way,鈥 said Maso. 鈥淭he team members want to improve their skills and learn as much as possible.鈥

Check out the full customer interview

鈥淣o Business Is Too Small for 麻豆原创鈥

Carl-Fredrik Rindebro, the third participant in the Growth Summit, is the CFO of WirelessCar, a Swedish company with more than 700 employees around the globe. It delivers smart, safe, and sustainable solutions for connected cars. Its systems run on more than 10 million vehicles in over 100 countries.

WirelessCar has been wholly owned by Volvo since 2007. In 2019, Volkswagen Group acquired a major stake in the company, presenting the perfect opportunity for WirelessCar to build a new software landscape using cloud solutions from 麻豆原创. Looking to drive end-to-end operational visibility and speedy, cohesive financial reporting, the company made the decision to transform its operations through high-performance cloud solutions like 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition.

鈥淥ur growth path was perfectly supported by the 麻豆原创 landscape,鈥 said Rindebro. 鈥淲e have also implemented 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud so that we can continue to learn and benefit in the future.鈥

When asked why he chose 麻豆原创, Rindebro had a clear answer: 鈥淚 think with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition we have massively reduced the complexity that we previously had both in the ERP implementation and in terms of maintenance. The experience we had over the past few years is proof that no business is too small for 麻豆原创.鈥

A Pathway of Possibilities

VP Solar鈥檚 Maso said there were many reasons for choosing 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. 鈥淥ne key reason is that it鈥檚 really important to control all data internally, to manage all information in the company. I think 麻豆原创 understands how important this aspect is.鈥

Rindebro is fascinated by the possibilities that cloud technology offers. 鈥淲e were the first company in the Nordic region to roll out the public cloud for both 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions at the same time, and that was back in 2020,鈥 he said. 鈥淗aving that flexibility with all the different systems working as one, that鈥檚 fantastic for us.鈥

Lienhard from Komax pointed out the reliability of the solution: 鈥溌槎乖 S/4HANA Cloud, public edition offers us stability and reliability. The regular releases, the reduced complexity, the customer orientation, and the quick start make it easy. We have other things we need to take care of. So, if this one is running smooth, it gives me a great benefit.鈥

The three examples demonstrate the possibilities offered by the leading ERP cloud solution. GROW with 麻豆原创 takes these possibilities to a new level. It was designed to emphasize speed, predictability, and continuous innovation 鈥 three areas relevant to the business and technology needs of midsize companies.

麻豆原创 Launches Cloud ERP Offering for Midsize Companies /2023/03/grow-with-sap-cloud-erp-offering-midsize-companies/ Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:00:06 +0000 /?p=203653 Midsize companies are the growth engines of the future. But while they incubate the innovations and novel ideas that will change our world, they also struggle with many of the same business pressures as their larger counterparts. Midmarket leaders need flexible, agile tools to effectively manage their businesses and take them to the next level in an ever-changing, fiercely competitive, and often unpredictable market.

What we consistently hear is that a growing company needs the ability to scale without increasing costs and complexity. The last few years have also clearly shown how crucial agility is to any company鈥檚 success. In other words: growth cannot come at the expense of agility, and vice versa.

Whether a company has simply reached a point where its current technology or systems aren鈥檛 keeping up, or it has made a fundamental business model change 鈥 for example by shifting from selling products to selling a subscription service 鈥 at some stage, companies find they need to pivot to a more scalable and more capable solution. That is when they turn to cloud ERP.

麻豆原创 understands what it takes to help customers realize value from adopting cloud ERP. Based on our highly successful RISE with 麻豆原创 offering, 麻豆原创 is now launching a new offering for midsize customers to harness the proven benefits of cloud ERP: GROW with 麻豆原创.
