The Compelling Economics of Cloud-based Analytics
|
Over the past few years, Aberdeen has been following the
emergence of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) as a viable
platform for Business Intelligence (BI) deployments. In the
SaaS model, software itself is not licensed or owned by the
organization; it is provided as a service and rented. The
service is usually paid for on a subscription basis, and fees
may be assessed on enterprise-wide use, on a per user basis,
or based on other measures such as data volume. This report
is the second in a series exploring the growing adoption and
maturity of SaaS BI. Based on data drawn from Aberdeen's
agile BI research (Agile BI: Three Steps to Analytic Heaven),
this document highlights the economic benefits that can
accrue from the adoption and use of Software-as-a-Service in
comparison to traditional BI deployments. Request Free! |

ERP in Retail
|
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has long been a crucial
tool for manufacturers to discover potential efficiencies,
standardize processes, reduce costs, and provide visibility
for informed decision making. Since the widespread adoption
of ERP in manufacturing, other industries have followed suit
and are now using ERP to manage and improve their business
performance. For example, Aberdeen's 2011 ERP survey of 52
retail organizations, Aberdeen finds that 83% are currently
using ERP. Still, 51% of those ERP systems are less than five
years old. While 35% of ERP solutions in top performing
retail organizations are over seven years old, this is true
for only 23% of ERP implementations in all others. Evidence
of the fact that 93% of leading retail organizations is using
ERP compared to 73% of all others, shows that the benefits of
ERP have been taken advantage of in leading retail
organizations and those organizations that are lagging behind
could benefit from using ERP to catch up. Request Free! |

ERP in Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing
|
Manufacturing companies that support Aerospace and Defense
(A&D) industries have always been a hybrid of driving IT
usage while still using very manual data collection and
reporting processes. Over 97% of A&D respondents to
Aberdeen's ERP survey that was conducted from June 2011 to
December 2011 use some form of ERP. That's as close to
universal as you get when you consider that the same survey
showed that overall manufacturing was around 85% ERP usage.
This sector insight takes the A&D respondents and
examines how A&D companies develop, implement, and
operate their ERP strategies. Request Free! |

ERP in Food and Beverage Manufacturing
|
Food & Beverage (F&B) manufacturers started out
slowly in adopting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in the
1980's and 1990's. But as of December 2011, Aberdeen's 2011
ERP survey of almost 700 companies in all industries shows
that F&B manufacturers have finally caught up with other
industries with over 95% using some form of ERP. The survey
captured the responses of over 70 F&B manufacturers
regarding the use and benefits of ERP. Request Free! |
