Expanding addressable market for SAP solutions

Implementations for small to medium-sized enterprises is likely to be one of the areas of SAP services expanding most quickly over the next years. This is why consultancies should be paying attention to SMEs: 🚀 👇 🌐 SMEs are the largest section of the total number of businesses by a long way. Representing 99% of European and American businesses, SMEs are clearly central to economic vitality and job creation. 🔍 SAP's recent expansion into the SME sector with solution packages like Grow with SAP demonstrates a significant market opportunity. 📈 For SAP consultancies, targeting SMEs uncovers a broader, diversified client base, moving beyond the confines of large-scale enterprises to a wider market of agile and dynamic SMEs. 🔧 The inherent complexities and costs of traditional SAP implementations can deter SMEs. Tailoring solutions to their specific needs becomes crucial for accessibility and practicality. 🛠️ SAP providers have also been offering services like SAP Business One and SAP Business ByDesign implementations for some years, as these SAP solutions are engineered for SME efficiency, offering pre-configured functionalities suitable for their operational needs. ☁️ Smaller businesses are reconsidering SAP due to the widespread adoption of cloud technology, which can reduce upfront costs, expedite implementations, and facilitate easy updates for SAP systems, making SAP more attainable for SMEs. 🎯 SAP consultancies offering a Minimal Viable Product strategy can allow SMEs to prioritize critical functionalities for quick wins, delivering value within their restricted IT budgets. 💸 The lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of cloud-based solutions, combined with their scalable nature, ensures SMEs can grow their SAP systems with their business. 📚 The cloud paradigm is changing the services offered by consultancies: reducing costs and timelines, enabling more effective and efficient SME project delivery, providing access to innovation, and improving client relationships. 🔮 Cloud advancements offer the potential for more SMEs to use AI and automation for smarter operations, ensuring they remain at the cutting edge without constant costly upgrades. Every business needs to be adaptable and scalable, but these technologies are vital for smaller businesses and start-ups. 👁️ By acknowledging and addressing concerns such as data security and potential vendor lock-in SAP consultancies can reassure SME customers, ensuring a secure, flexible cloud SAP deployment. 🌟 SMEs are already using the power of SAP in the cloud. As tech evolves and SAP solutions become more affordable, SMEs, guided by SAP consultancies, will achieve vast growth. ⚠️Consultancies that adapt now to this changing market will gain the largest share, as the use of sophisticated IT systems like SAP ERP by SMEs grows over the next five years.

What most people don’t know? 80% of SAP’s customers are under $250M in revenue. For the last two decades, SAP has quietly built solutions designed for fast-growing mid-market companies, without the enterprise bloat.
