IDC India’s manufacturing Insights report on 'ERP on cloud'

International Data Corporation (IDC) India recently released a research report on the adoption trends of 'ERP on cloud' among manufacturing enterprises in India. The report is a result of IDC's vertical IT spend forecasts and detailed studies among manufacturing firms and software vendors. ERP is the largest item for spend in a CIO's budget with significant growth expected over the next 5 years.

ERP continues to be a critical enterprise application in the IT portfolio of manufacturing enterprises for day-to-day operations, with an ever increasing demand on performance and functionality with cost pressures. The road map for ERP in the medium to long term is critical for organizations. Cloud based deployment is an attractive option that should definitely be on the check-list for decision makers.

With the convergence of IT and OT (Operations Technology), ERP and its associated enterprise IT applications are undergoing transformation in the type of information they store, their functionalities for business processes and integrations for information flow across the enterprise and its ecosystem. As these applications undergo transformation, it will be interesting to see how cloud based ERP deployments evolve with their out-of-the-box features, customizations they need to undergo and their integrations.
