Using 27 criteria, Forrester examined 13 providers that matter most. This concluded that SAP is the best at facilitating digital business transformation among their customers.<\/p>\n<p>SAP is the largest digital operational platform provider. Historically, SAP has been a dominant force in the market for complex and global technology change at large organizations. But SAP also offers front office solutions and products for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). In recent years, SAP has modernized its ERP offering to S\/4HANA, which is an AI-driven, user-friendly and flexible product.<\/p>\n<p>SAP now has more than 14,000 customers with S\/4HANA and a network of thousands of partners across numerous industries, processes and regions. The Forrester survey highlights that SAP has some exceptional strengths, such as flexible billing, in-memory scheduling and reporting with live data.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The best digital operational platform for your manufacturing business<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Are you curious about what S\/4HANA can do for your organization?
