The pandemic has accelerated innovation in manufacturing, as well as demands for supply chain continuity and cost control stability. To maintain their competitive edge amidst global competition, industry leaders must speed up their transformation roadmap while combating high labor and material costs, thin margins, increasing environmental regulations, and rising customer expectations.

By reducing manufacturing ERP support spend, organizations can shift budget to funding digital technologies and initiatives that will ultimately drive growth and create a more agile, strategic foundation. Strategic initiatives that maximize the value of current systems, such as rethinking supply and demand requirements and minimizing disruption to critical operations, is crucial to producing and maintaining stability, giving organizations the opportunity to increase ROIC and fund mission-critical innovation.
