The ERP Suites for Industrial Mid-market Solutions Is Going through a Dynamic Period
According to ARC market research, mid-market industrial ERP suites are broadly functional software solutions that tend to be attractive to small- to mid-sized companies, or to larger companies pursuing a multi-tier ERP strategy in which one ERP system is used at the corporate level for centralized functions and a second ERP solution is used by business units. Today’s manufacturers need added depth and breadth of their feature set including supply chain management, PLM, and EAM which aligns with industry-specific needs. Mid-market companies in particular need systems that are robust, can be up-and-running quickly, and can be easily maintained and upgraded with minimal customization. Manufacturing companies using mid-market ERP solutions tend to focus on specific industries. A solution tailored to meet their specific industry needs allows fast implementations with faster time-to-benefit.

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the ERP Suites for Industrial Mid-market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Embrace Data and Predictive Analytics, AI, and ML
In order to better collect, assess, and forecast critical data and action items, the use of real-time processing and analysis tools are critical. This includes the inclusion of manufacturing-specific best practices and business metrics in areas such as production planning, quality, productivity, and profitability.
ERP Systems Need to Survive Business Disruption and Maintain Business Continuity
While manufacturing firms of all sizes need ERP systems that offer flexibility including customization, many are based on systems designed primarily for on-premise use within limited technical infrastructure. With a changing competitive environment already underway and the added challenges of operating in a pandemic-stricken world, the expectations for these solutions have become much higher. In addition to offering remote access capabilities, these systems often require redundant capabilities to be accessible where and when needed. Often this can be accomplished by the use of cloud deployment options.
Comprehensive Manufacturing ERP Solutions for Mid-market Organizations
Today’s manufacturers need added depth and breadth of their feature set–especially with regard to industry-specific functionality. Mid-market companies in particular need systems that are robust, can be up- and-running quickly, and can easily be maintained and upgraded.
