Automation has long made an impact on the manufacturing industry, and over the past couple of decades, data engineering has seen substantial technology enablement across the services industry. A 2020 report notes that 51% of businesses implement automation initiatives to boost efficiency. It is obvious from this finding that digital transformation is no longer just a buzzword – it’s a crucial factor for success.

This shift offers immense potential rewards but also requires navigating a complex landscape of technology choices. The ERP initiatives should align with a clear strategic direction and overarching business objectives to succeed in this transformation, drawing from past lessons learned during earlier ERP implementations.
