Let’s have a look at some facts about our product and its benefits.

Why Is Now the Time to Go SaaS?

The world turns at an unprecedented pace of change. Change happens in a time lapse; things that took half a decade in earlier days, now happen in one financial quarter or even less. This represents a huge challenge for organizations on the one hand, but on the other hand, it also represents strong opportunities.

The industry moves

–       from mass production to mass customization,

–       from products to services,

–       from buying items to using items,

–       from data creating chaos to data driving decisions.

Each company strives for hyper-individualization and mass customization of services with a consequence of much higher throughput across all corporate functions. But companies are challenged by this: In order to ensure profitability and drive proper decisions at the lowest possible working capital, processes like orders or invoices have to be processed in real time and as “zero touch transactions”.

And while the first wave of intelligent ERP is already in the market, the next level is coming around the corner, for example with self-auditing finance.

Don’t miss the train leaving the station.
