They provide services in hosting, support, add-ons\/software development, consulting and project management.<\/p>\n<p>A wide variety of software solutions are used. Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce have high shares in marketing. SAP ERP is catching up in sales. SAP ERP even has the highest share of all providers in order processing and invoicing.<\/p>\n<p>However, a needs-based solution for project management is clearly missing entirely: 26 percent of participants rely on individual software and 40 percent on other solutions, although there is no clear focus here.<\/p>\n<p>Wages and salaries are topics that many service providers outsource (26 percent) and\/or handle with DATEV (23 percent). SAP products have a share of eleven percent here.<\/p>\n<p>Reporting depends on the system in which the transactional data is created. As many companies generate their financial figures in SAP ERP, reporting also takes place there.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, it can be said that there is no ideal solution. Companies use a variety of different software solutions. No company can get by with just one solution. There is a high proportion of individual software to download for free.<\/p>\n<p>Non-members can order the study for a small fee by sending an e-mail to <a href=\"mailto:info@ia4sp.org\">info@ia4sp.org <\/a>refer.
