ERP Modernisation with Intelligent Extensions

This solution brief outlines the challenges faced by companies with existing ERP systems, such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, which often remain inefficient due to untapped potential for integrating modern technologies. Key challenges include difficulties in integrating new technologies like AI and IoT, time-consuming manual processes, fragmented data, rising maintenance costs, and limited reporting capabilities. The document presents a solution involving intelligent ERP extensions developed by Hitachi Solutions, which aim to maximize the value of existing ERP investments without full system replacements. By integrating Microsoft technologies, these extensions create a hybrid architecture that enhances automation, data analytics, and AI capabilities. A case study illustrates how a mid-sized manufacturing company modernized its SAP environment, achieving significant time savings and improved productivity through the implementation of tools like Power BI, Power Automate, and Azure Data Services. The brief emphasizes the importance of strategic consulting and comprehensive support throughout the modernization journey.
