SURVEY DETAILS
TARGET POPULATION

For this Network Survey, GLG surveyed 70 Value Added Resellers of ERP software such as Epicor, Infor, Iris, Xero, SAP, and Sage across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and US. This is the second iteration in this tracker series.

What will you learn from this survey?

  • Respondents discussed the ERP module and upselling opportunities during implementation.
  • The survey covered insights into what factors and actions are important to retain ERP vendors.
  • Lastly, the research gathered the concerns VARs are having surrounding customers purchasing SaaS ERP solutions directly.

Examples of findings:

  • Nearly one-quarter (23%) states that Finance/Financial Management is the most popular module being sold.
  • 49% of the total experts mentioned that customer relationship management module is being purchased during initial implementation.
  • Similar to previous wave, data quality control remains the biggest challenge in transitioning from an on-premise system to a cloud-based ERP system.

Deliverables

The GLG Surveys team drafted the questionnaire with the support of GLG Network Member, John Pironti, President at IP Architects, LLC.

  • 1 x Individual responses (“raw data”) in Excel.
