Composable ERP
The future architecture
Gartner suggests that the future of ERP is composability - which drives agility and flexibility into business processes through a technology approach that integrates multiple applications and platforms.
Composable ERP is a plug and play model where companies integrate ERP elements to deliver better user experiences and operational efficiencies, more quickly, in response to evolving market conditions.
Key capability
In order to build solutions business components need to be packaged and easily assembled to create an adaptable business solution.
SAP ERP context
Many SAP implementations still consist of a monolithic system which host the majority of the functionality within a single instance. Companies often look at adding best of breed solutions to augment this solution - so that they can redefine business processes and transform how they operate.
Composability explained
"It is about building an environment around your ERP system that best serves your needs with the best tools for each specific use case. It is not about having a Swiss Army knife which has twenty tools that may or may not work depending on what you know; it is about having the best tools to fit each specific need. And it is not just being the best tool, but the right tool for the right task.” - Devraj Bardhan, CTO SAP Managed Services, IBM
