Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Market Trends

Increasing Popularity of Two-Tier ERP to Augment Market Growth

Enterprises globally are adopting the two-tier ERP strategy as it helps them run two merged solutions simultaneously. Organizations are in need of a resilient system at the enterprise level, but also require a complementing solution for subsidiaries or worldwide locations. And due to this, the demand for two-tier ERP is increasing. For instance, manufacturing processes at a subsidiary might need a more specialized module, while the core ERP system maintains standardized processes. The two-tier strategy is adopted by enterprises for saving their time and reducing the cost over the one-tier approach as subsidiaries can reprocess the solution templates specified by headquarters, while developing the new solution. Then the focus can fall onto other work, such as specific country localizations.

The two-tier ERP system helps enterprises improve the back office processes at a site that works under a particular business model operated separately from the parent company. To minimize quality cost and tighten project schedules trailed by reduced budget, enterprises are replacing single-tier ERP systems with two-tier ERP systems. By configuring a two-tier ERP system, enterprises can control the performance with the existing one-tier ERP system.

The above factors are augmenting the market growth.
