Recent business trends favoring ERP growth

Business Process Reengineering ( BPR )
Most large companies are attempting to cut in-house development costs, improve
customer service, and speed products to market by reorganizing their existing
business processes.
Software Pricing
Licensing and pricing of mainframe based packaged applications are tied to the size of
mainframe system on which the applications run, but now customers are now
demanding user-based licensing options and major corporate applications like SAP
provide this instead of the conventional platform-based pricing technique.

Recent business trends favoring ERP growth

Globalization
As businesses are becoming more global in scope, people are demanding packaged
corporate applications that are available in a variety of languages with support for
multiple currencies.
Integration
As more and more companies are going for BPR, there is increase in demand for
integrated solution e.g.. different applications sharing a common database and thus
enabling data definitions and business rules to be applied across an entire
organization with the facility of doing modifications at one location only.
