In addition, the report stated, “By 2025, the top four ERP vendors will rebrand themselves as business platform providers.”

According to the Magic Quadrant report, “Gartner defines a product-centric cloud ERP suite as a set of loosely coupled products comprising:

Operational ERP — supply chain and manufacturing-related functionality such as demand management, order management, material requirements planning (MRP), inventory management, supply chain/direct procurement, manufacturing control capabilities, and distribution/logistics.
Financial management functionality (those vendors that provide only financial management as a suite are rated in a separate Magic Quadrant).
Purchasing focused on indirect goods, services and capital equipment.
HCM — for cost management as well as staffing for operational resources.
Specialized, industry-specific modules or applications including, but not limited to, modules such as configure-to-order (CTO) or make-to-order (MTO), and field service management (FSM), or broader application solutions like enterprise asset management (EAM) and product life cycle management (PLM).”
