While the digitisation of enterprises has been a clear trend in recent years, the Covid-19 pandemic and recent confinements have significantly accelerated the process and highlighted the need to adopt new tools and processes, as well as a new mindset to deal with digital transformation.

Companies are fully aware that the choices they make in terms of management strategies and tools will directly affect their sustainability, competitiveness and long-term survival.

The new challenges facing companies and the best tools to meet them

The new reality that companies are experiencing demands a change of mentality. Now more than ever, it is necessary to adopt the most cutting-edge tools and technologies to facilitate strategic business management.
The Covid-19 crisis has shown that new technologies are here to stay. Technologies such as cloud computing, big data and Artificial Intelligence will be increasingly present in new ERP software. Companies must seek out these differentiating technologies and take advantage of their full potential, because only then will they be able to adapt their business management to the needs of the post-pandemic era.
There are three pillars that mark the management of the company in the post-COVID era: the mobility of workers, teleworking and the rise of online management. In this scenario, the main trend for 2021 in terms of internal organisation will be to adopt cutting-edge ERP software that favours collaborative work and enables efficient resource planning.

To meet the challenges of the new normal, companies are demanding advanced, intuitive and scalable ERPs that adapt to the changing pace of business and the market. They are looking for ERP solutions in the cloud that allow them to access all information anytime, anywhere and that are easily integrated with the other software solutions they are working with.
