SAPs SME ERP solution Business One, has now been adopted by over 50,000 organisations worldwide. This makes it one of SAPs most widely adopted products and the trend only looks set to continue with new customers now coming on board at a rate of around 18 per day (more than 5,000 businesses selected SAP Business One in the last 12 months).
A new study conducted by SAP and the online business analysis journal, Knowledge@Wharton, revealed the importance of business simplification and the systems that support this within the modern SME. It found that with technology foundations laid down early to support simple processes and efficient operational capabilities, small businesses are better equipped to grow and succeed.
This was highlighted by the fact that 72% of small and medium business leaders questioned, accepted that complexities had hurt efforts to meet process and decision making goals. SAP Business One is a solution built on the premise that simplicity should always be at the core of a successful business management solution and one thing is for sure, those SMEs who start simple will have a much easier time staying simple as they grow and mature.
Whilst these growing companies see the need to leverage technology in the near future, only about half (49 percent) of senior leaders believe business simplification is of significant strategic importance today. That number jumps to 65 percent when asked if they believe it will be of significant strategic importance within the next three years. Looking ahead, 47 percent of respondents believe they will be using self-service tools when they are making decisions within the next three years, yet only 19 percent are currently using this kind of support.
Small and midsize businesses need secure solutions that help them to start simple and stay simple, with minimal risk or disruption to services. The path towards simplification requires a strategic plan that will get them to being digital, connected and able to grow their business. Running simple in the digital economy was identified as being more important the larger a business becomes. The earlier small and midsize businesses can design systems to help them stay simple, the faster they will grow.
