In Enterprise Resource Planning, it is particularly useful to understand how software users feel about their vendors assisting them with innovation and enhancing performance.
As Robert Fayle, research director, applications, at Info-Tech Research Group said, “With the increasing adoption of SaaS for ERP, we are seeing a growing interest in integration of third-party products. The era of the comprehensive ERP is coming to an end as companies start connecting products to produce a custom solution.”
