The New Reality:
SAP Cloud ERP for Mid-Market Manufacturers

ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 1 hour

Ask a mid-market manufacturer why they haven't moved to SAP Cloud ERP, and two objections surface first: the project will take too long, and the platform was built for giants. Today, however, 80% of SAP's 460,000-plus customers are small and midsize businesses. Their fit-to-standard cloud deployments routinely go live in 6 to 8 months, instead of 12 to 18 months. It was the customization, not the SAP software, that stretched timelines.

This webinar panel pairs KloudData's manufacturing delivery lens with an IT leader who lived the journey and explores where the timeline actually lands, what clean core removes from scope, and the working capital freed when the close stops taking 15 days. Speed and fit aren't just IT wins — they show up on the balance sheet. Highlights include:

  • Why fit-to-standard collapses ERP timelines for $200M–$1B manufacturers.
  • How clean-core deployments free trapped working capital.
  • What a peer manufacturer experienced when moving off a legacy stack.
