To-Increase Shares Survey Results Citing Enterprise Resource Planning as Top Trend
Blog post highlights survey results from Microsoft and Gatepoint Research, and helps manufacturing companies make the case for a greater technology investment.
Norwell, MA, August 31, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for Industrial Equipment Manufacturers (IEM), releases survey results from Microsoft and Gatepoint Research that cite Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as a top trend in business systems optimization. Results of this survey, along with proof points designed to help manufacturing companies make the case for a greater technology investment, are available by visiting the To-Increase blog.
A recent post to the To-Increase blog shares results from a survey conducted by Microsoft and Gatepoint Research, indicating that:
- 61% of respondents cited technology as very significant
- 51% of respondents cited Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as among the most critical
Correspondingly, more than:
- 27% of respondents cited increased profitability as most characteristic of their organization’s strategy over the next 18 months
- 25% cited poorly integrated systems as a major hurdle towards achieving objectives
"Despite the definitive correlation between technology and business objectives, it can be hard to create a definitive connection," writes blog post author Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase. "And by definitive connection, I am talking about the proof points you need to allocate budgetary resources to technology upgrades and integration."
Within his post, Cunha provides answers to the critical questions asked when it comes time to make a budgetary decision on technology resources, including:
- How will ERP technology, particularly ERP integration, help my manufacturing company achieve profitability goals?
- How will implementing ERP into new platforms, particularly the cloud, help my manufacturing company boost ROI?
"Just as recent respondents kept the bottom-line in mind when completing the recent survey from Gatepoint Research and Microsoft, I encourage you to always keep profit and ROI front and center," concludes Cunha. "This holds especially true when you are reading content from, or interacting with, a potential vendor."
