The future of cloud ERP Looking ahead , EJ sees public cloud becoming increasingly dominant in the ERP space . “ Public cloud is increasingly becoming the norm . While it ’ s difficult to predict exactly where we ’ ll be in 12 months , I expect we ’ ll exceed our current aspirations ,” he says . “ We ’ re seeing a shift where customers are now proactively asking partners about public cloud offerings , rather than us having to introduce the concept .”
As for the role of AI in the future of ERP , EJ believes we ’ ve only scratched the surface . “ The potential is unlimited , and I expect we ’ ll see remarkable developments in the coming year .”
As EJ notes , the pace of change in AI adoption has been particularly striking . “ It ’ s interesting to note how quickly things are changing ,” he says . “ Just a year ago , AI wasn ’ t a central topic in our GROW with SAP events . Five months later , it was front and centre , with customers recognising its potential to address significant business challenges .
“ Given the pace of change , it ’ s hard to imagine what the future holds , but I ’ m confident we ’ ll continue to move the needle for our customers and partners in exciting ways .”
