In order to thrive in today’s ever-changing environment, leaders must shift their focus to implementing sustainable and flexible ERP solutions that provide employees with the tools they need overcome current issues while setting their business up to prosper well into the future.

To help you identify which ERP solution is best to pursue in 2023 and beyond, our Cloud Solutions team has outlined some of the key takeaways from Gartner’s 2022 Magic Quadrant report.

What is the Magic Quadrant?

The Magic Quadrant is a compilation of market research reports published by IT consulting firm Gartner that aims to identify the top cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions.

This resource includes a set of evaluation criteria to help business executives understand which applications will best suit their needs in developing and integrating a scalable ERP strategy.

Based on Gartner’s criteria, each solution will fall into one of the following categories:

  • Leaders: Solutions that are well executed today and are positioned to be successful in the future
  • Challengers: Solutions that are currently successful, but do not align with predictions for how the market will evolve, signaling that they may become unsuccessful or outdated in the future
  • Niche Players: Solutions that focus solely on a small market segment or those that do not outperform other providers
  • Visionaries: Solutions that account for where the market may be heading, but do not yet have the tools to execute as well as other providers, signaling a solution that may become more successful over time
