In many companies, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the central data hub and connect a wide variety of applications with each other. This gives them a key position in digitization.

In the whitepaper "ERP-Trend-Check 2021", the digital association Bitkom takes a look at how eleven technology trends from blockchain, AI and Internet of Things to no-code/low-code and process mining will change and expand the possibilities of ERP systems in the future and what concrete benefits users will derive from them.

In the white paper, each technology is first briefly introduced before the ERP reference is worked out. In a third step, the authors venture a forecast for the future significance from different companies in the ERP industry. Particularly helpful for all those who make decisions in the companies is the classification of the business benefit potential of the respective technology with ERP.

For example, the trend toward mobile is already widespread in ERP solutions, and the business potential is high. In contrast, process mining is still rather rare in ERP solutions, although the business potential is estimated to be at least as high.

Newer technologies and trends such as blockchain or no- or low-code, on the other hand, are on the one hand rarely present in ERP systems, and on the other hand, it is still largely uncertain what business advantages could result from their use.
