So excited that my interview with Brad Feakes and EstesGroup is now on YouTube! Yeah baby! Brad is so funny and a great interviewer, so I think it flows really well and we had a few laughs too. https://lnkd.in/esyScK5Q

Also, here's Brad's LinkedIn article "Baan, Blogs and Business with Dan Aldridge, ERP Software Expert". Very creative and only a 5-minute read, although I hope you can watch the video too. https://lnkd.in/evQ5ueQz

He almost makes me sound like I have half a brain. 🤣

Read Dan Aldridge's new article on LinkedIn - What is SAP S/4HANA? | Intro to S/4HANA.

SAP S/4HANA is one of the most widely used ERP systems in the market, especially among larger and more complex organizations. But what exactly is SAP S/4HANA and what types of organizations are most likely to benefit from this ERP software?

S/4HANA is SAP’s most recent flagship ERP product. It started as R/2 on the mainframe, then became R/3 on client/server, and finally was developed as ECC on premises before S/4HANA debuted in 2015. Here is a detailed explanation of what S/4HANA is from the SAP PRESS Book Club: https://learning.sap-press.com/sap-s4hana.

In summary, S/4HANA is a complete code base rewrite of ECC and a move to the HANA database that was architected for the cloud.

Earlier in 2023, to “encourage” on-premises ECC customers to move to S/4HANA in the cloud, SAP announced a “double whammy”. First, they raised the maintenance on ECC on-premise by 30%, and second, they said that innovations in S/4HANA like the Joule AI Copilot would not be backported to ECC. So, in other words, SAP said to customers that they will pay more to get less innovation and new functionality until they spend significant money and time on an upgrade.

So, what is SAP S/4HANA and what should you be thinking about if you are an SAP ECC customer or considering S/4HANA as a potential new ERP system for your company? Here is what you need to know!

Amazing! Infor scores the number 1 spot again in this prestigious ERP for Midsize Enterprises rating from top analyst firm Gartner! This comes on the heels of a #1 ranking in the Top 10 Manufacturing ERP Systems for 2023 by analyst Sam Gupta of ElevatIQ, and here's the video for that: https://lnkd.in/ePPrnbKH

Here is a head-to-head comparison of Infor vs SAP, which is #4 in the Gartner rankings, entitled 'Infor CloudSuites vs SAP S/4 HANA - Which is Better?'. It's a virtual dead heat! https://lnkd.in/egPu4YCx

And finally, here is everything you need to know about the Infor ERP CloudSuites including demo videos, website links, articles, etc. so that you can see the advantages that caused Gartner to rank Infor as the top ERP system vendor. https://lnkd.in/gyi6EcnB

The momentum that had some companies shifting from legacy Infor systems like Baan to systems like SAP is turning back to the Infor CloudSuites multi-tenant cloud solution on AWS. In addition, Infor is winning "net new" business away from market leaders like Oracle Fusion Cloud.

If you would like to learn more, dm me on LinkedIn or email me at [email protected]. My company Merino Consulting Services BV is the leading Infor Alliance partner that specializes in the Infor CloudSuites for discrete manufacturing, especially the vertical Industry CloudSuites for Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, and Industrial Machinery (i.e., Industrial Enterprise). We have a large force (130 strong) of Infor LN and CloudSuite consultants in North America and Europe.
