India’s enterprise playbook for 2026: AI, resilience and the race to stay competitive ## Technological progress remains the central driver for the competitiveness of Indian industrial companies in 2026. As organisations across manufacturing, distribution, healthcare and the public sector accelerate digital transformation, technologies such as AI-driven systems, cloud-native platforms and sustainable digitalisation are unlocking new efficiency and growth opportunities. While Indian businesses face rising cybersecurity, regulatory and skills challenges, AI is moving from pilots to production, with 47% of enterprises already running multiple GenAI use cases. In parallel, automation, cloud ecosystems, and cybersecurity will form the basis of digital resilience. As India positions itself as a global manufacturing and innovation hub, these trends will shape how organisations compete and scale in 2026. As India positions itself as a global manufacturing and innovation hub, these trends will shape how organisations compete and scale in 2026. ### **Two pillars of success: Resilience and Agility** In 2026, resilience and agility will be the two pillars supporting the success of Indian companies in an increasingly uncertain global economy. Supply-chain disruptions, climate-related events and geopolitical uncertainty have emphasized the need for systems that can absorb shocks while continuing to operate at scale. The fundamental change in mindset is being supported by flexible, cloud-native architectures and real-time data analytics, which enable leaders to make fast and informed decisions. Forward-looking companies will adapt their business models more quickly to seize new opportunities, backed by strong investment in digital capabilities, with 93% of Indian enterprises planning to increase AI and analytics spend in 2025 to drive better decision-making and operational agility. For those who integrate agility into their DNA, disruptions will not be a question of survival but a catalyst for innovation and growth. ### **One fast step ahead: ERP migrates to the cloud** In 2026, the migration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to the cloud will no longer be a question of “if,” but of “how fast and how effectively.” This step transforms ERP systems from a back-office system into a strategic success factor, with 67% of Indian companies currently transitioning applications to the cloud, reinforcing the nation’s focus on innovation and efficiency.. The integration of cloud-based ERP systems with new technologies like AI, IoT and blockchain creates a digitally networked enterprise that can react quickly and grow robustly. This change not only reduces technical debt and upfront investments but also enables the use of advanced analysis and automation tools. Companies that seize this opportunity will achieve real-time transparency across all operations in 2026, optimizing processes, improving customer experience and thereby securing crucial competitive advantages in a fiercely contested environment. ### **Enterprise intelligence powered by generative AI and agentic AI** The paradigm shift towards enterprise intelligence, driven by generative AI and agentic AI, will accelerate in India through 2026.These technologies will surpass traditional automation by enabling systems that not only execute tasks but also anticipate needs, generate innovative solutions and take autonomous actions aligned with corporate goals. For ERP applications and supply chain management, this marks the transition from reactive processes to proactive ecosystems: AI agents optimize inventory levels, accurately forecast demand, and identify cost-saving potential before human intervention is needed. This development will lead to significant increases in operational efficiency, speed of innovation, and customer personalization. It will fundamentally change the way companies compete and create value. ### **Security as amulti-layered strategy, Zero-Trust imperative** The introduction of a Zero-Trust security architecture will be essential in 2026. IT systems must withstand the increasing complexity of threats and the sophistication of attackers: a challenge that is particularly acute in India, with India emerging as one of the most targeted countries in the most APAC region. At the same time, companies are accelerating cloud migration and integrating AI comprehensively into their systems. While AI revolutionizes IT security, it simultaneously presents new challenges. A Zero-Trust security architecture fundamentally assumes security breaches and continuously verifies every access point. It relies on multi-layered, AI-driven security, combining analytics, behavioural monitoring and automated response with real-time threat intelligence to detect and neutralise sophisticated attacks. In in the coming year, security must be integrated into every digital initiative to strengthen stakeholder trust and corporate resilience. ### **A dual approach to India’s skilled talent gap** **Geoff Thomas, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific and Japan, Infor** Even in 2026, the shortage of qualified and specialized IT professionals will not be alleviated solely by hiring, as AI and automation are expected to require over 16 million workers in India to reskill or upskill. As a result, continuous upskilling of the existing workforce must become part of everyday work, embedded directly into workflows to keep pace with rapid technological change. At the same time, companies will increasingly use AI and automation to augment human capabilities, enabling employees to focus on higher-value work. Creating flexible, inclusive, and meaningful workplaces will be crucial to attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive labour market. Ultimately, in 2026, technology and people must work closely together to drive innovation and growth. #### Disclaimer: The views expressed in this article are those of the author/authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of ET Edge Insights, its management, or its members

Top 10 ERP Systems For Small Business In 2025 | SMB Enterprise Resource Planning | Best SMB ERPs When evaluating small businesses for this list, we define them as companies generating between $10 million and $100 million in revenue or an equivalent metric where revenue may not be a reliable indicator, such as in pharmaceuticals or medical devices. Our analysis spans all industries, which means that while the list itself is valuable, the order of rankings may not apply universally. Some products may be better suited for specific industries, and others may not be relevant at all. That’s why it’s crucial to pay close attention to the commentary on where each product excels. Additionally, because we are strictly focusing on small businesses, the companies in this segment tend to have limited implementation budgets—though not as constrained as startups. These businesses have matured beyond the startup phase and are now seeking their second ERP system, refining their operational processes in a way that startups typically do not. A key consideration here is when businesses outgrow simpler accounting solutions like QuickBooks. While some companies can manage with QuickBooks even at $50 million or $100 million in revenue due to strong margins and lower operational complexity, others—particularly those in product-based industries—require an ERP system by the time they reach $30 million. This is often the inflection point where process inefficiencies become too costly to ignore. In contrast, service-based industries may have different needs and adoption timelines for ERP solutions. Even though these small businesses are implementing ERPs, their process maturity remains limited, especially in planning. Advanced planning tools and complex integrations may be overwhelming at this stage, leading these businesses to favor simpler systems with larger third-party ecosystems and readily available add-ons. To curate this list, we used several criteria to evaluate ERP products, ensuring they align well with small businesses. These factors include overall product share, acquisition strategies of ERP vendors, the extent of their focus on small businesses, the strength of their product roadmap, the engagement and size of their community ecosystem, their win rate in competitive sales situations, and their overall technology strategy and investor backing. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in determining which ERP systems are best suited for this market segment. Now, with these considerations in mind, let’s dive into the list and explore the top ERP solutions for small businesses. The list covered as part of this video: 10. Sage Intacct 9. Epicor Kinetic 8. Aptean Food and Beverage ERP 7. Epicor Prophet 21 6. Infor CloudSuite Industrial 5. Rootstock 4. NetSuite 3. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2. SYSPRO 1.

Top 10 Manufacturing ERP systems in 2025 | Best Manufacturing ERP Software | Best MRP Software When defining a manufacturing ERP system, it’s crucial to distinguish between individual ERP products and the companies that create them. This list focuses on ERP products tailored for manufacturing and spans companies of all sizes. Whether you are a small startup or a large enterprise, the system you choose should align with your business size and manufacturing needs. Rankings alone should not dictate your choice—market segment relevance is vital. Pay close attention to commentary about each system, as it indicates which solutions are most suitable for your specific requirements. For startups or businesses with unique needs, specialized lists might be more appropriate than generalized rankings. Manufacturing ERP systems often cater to specific business models, which impacts their suitability for various manufacturing processes. Many systems are optimized for single-mode manufacturing, such as make-to-stock, make-to-order, or batch manufacturing. However, businesses with mixed-mode needs or plans to expand into new manufacturing processes may outgrow these specialized solutions. On the other hand, some ERP systems are comprehensive suites that integrate additional tools like PLM and CAD. These suites provide pre-baked integrations, reducing implementation time and complexity, but their tight coupling can be restrictive if your business model evolves. For long-term adaptability, businesses with changing needs should consider more generalized ERP systems. The criteria used to compile this list of manufacturing ERP systems highlight key factors such as product market share, acquisition strategies specific to manufacturing ERP, product roadmaps, and community ecosystems. Other important considerations include the system’s technology strategy and the financial backing of its investors, as these influence the product's growth and stability. Businesses should prioritize solutions that not only meet their current operational demands but also offer scalability and flexibility for future changes. Whether opting for specialized suites or generalized systems, evaluating these criteria will ensure a more informed decision tailored to your unique manufacturing requirements. The list covered as part of this video: 10. Plex 9. Sage X3 8. Acumatica 7. QAD 6. Oracle Cloud ERP 5. SAP S/4 HANA 4. Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O 3. Infor CloudSuite Industrial (Syteline) 2.

Top 10 Mid Sized Business ERP In 2025 | Mid-sized Enterprise Resource Planning | Best Mid-sized ERPs When discussing mid-sized ERP systems for 2025, we define the mid-market segment as companies generating between $100 million and roughly $1 billion in revenue. However, even within this segment, there are notable differences between the lower mid-market ($100 million to $250 million) and the upper mid-market (above $250 million). These two sub-segments have distinct needs and priorities when selecting ERP systems, so while we’ve compiled a single list, it's important to pay attention to the commentary regarding where each product performs best. Since this list covers all industries, it may not be as tailored to specific sectors. Our general recommendation is to first look for a list specific to your industry and size. If a targeted list is unavailable, then using a broader, more generic ranking—like this one—can serve as a useful starting point for your ERP selection process. The goal of this list is to assist companies in long-list planning, particularly if they do not have the budget for a professional ERP selection engagement. However, it’s essential to align ERP choices with your organization’s requirements, operating model, and future scalability needs. Most companies in this segment operate in fewer than 10 countries, meaning the ERP systems designed for them tend to have limited global reach compared to enterprise-level solutions. Unlike smaller businesses, where ERP adoption is sometimes optional, mid-sized companies generally require sophisticated planning and scheduling capabilities to optimize their operations. These systems are more mature than those used in smaller businesses, offering better forecasting, supply chain management, and workflow automation. While implementation budgets are available at this level, companies may still have limitations regarding deep customization and extensive third-party integrations—something more common in large enterprise ERP deployments. To compile this list, we used multiple criteria, ensuring that the selected ERP systems align well with mid-sized businesses. Our evaluation factors include overall product market share, vendor acquisition strategies, the ERP provider’s focus on mid-sized businesses, the strength of their product roadmap, the vibrancy of their user and partner community ecosystem, their win rate in competitive sales cycles, their broader technology strategy, and investor backing. These considerations help determine which ERP solutions are best suited for mid-sized companies based on their industry presence, functionality, and scalability. With these factors in mind, let's dive into the list of the top 10 mid-sized ERP systems for 2025. The list covered as part of this video: 10. Plex 9. Unit4 8. Deltek 7. Sage X3 6. QAD 5. IFS 4.

Top 10 ERP Systems in 2025 | Best ERP Systems | Top ERP Software | Top ERP Packages If you’re exploring ERP systems or interested in understanding the top ERP solutions for 2025, this guide provides valuable insights into the leading products in the market. Unlike vendor-focused rankings, this list emphasizes the individual ERP systems, evaluating their unique capabilities and fit for specific industries or business models. It’s worth noting that some products you may expect to see might not appear, as this list doesn’t solely focus on market share or vendor dominance. Instead, it evaluates factors like functionality, scalability, and suitability for diverse companies and industries. If your business operates in a particular niche, consider exploring specialized lists, such as those tailored to manufacturing or specific market segments like plastic extrusion. These niche lists can offer more precise recommendations but may still require deeper evaluation based on your unique requirements. When selecting an ERP system, one critical factor is whether its strategy is prescriptive or generalized. Prescriptive ERP systems are designed for specific industries, bundling relevant integrations and add-ons into a cohesive suite. While these systems can offer cost-effective implementation for niche businesses, they may lack the flexibility to accommodate diverse or evolving business models. On the other hand, generalized ERP systems cater to a broader range of industries and geographies. They boast mature ecosystems with more consultants, partners, and add-ons, making them ideal for businesses that require scalability and adaptability. However, understanding the trade-offs between these two categories—such as integration challenges or limited ecosystem options—is essential when determining which ERP system aligns with your needs. Lastly, businesses must weigh factors like global versus localized ERP systems and their ability to support varying regulations, languages, and geographies. Global ERP systems often include built-in localization features, reducing dependency on add-ons, which minimizes implementation risks. Conversely, localized ERP systems focus on specific regions but may struggle to scale globally. Additionally, ERP selection should account for factors like product roadmaps, community momentum, investor backing, and technological innovation. These elements are crucial to determining the long-term viability of an ERP solution. By carefully assessing these layers and aligning them with your business model and goals, you can reduce risks and select an ERP system that optimally supports your organization’s growth and operational needs.

Top 10 Automotive ERP Systems In 2025 | Best Automotive ERP | Automotive Enterprise Software The automotive ERP landscape is diverse, catering to a wide array of businesses across the value chain. Whether a company operates as an OEM, Tier 1, or Tier 2 supplier, or specializes in services and aftermarket parts, selecting the right ERP system requires a thorough understanding of industry-specific needs. Compliance with automotive standards such as MMOG/LE, APQP, and PPAP is critical, as these frameworks ensure quality, traceability, and regulatory alignment. While some ERP solutions are built with these capabilities natively integrated, others rely on third-party add-ons to meet industry requirements. Companies must carefully evaluate whether they need a fully integrated suite or a modular, platform-based system that can be tailored to their unique workflows. When assessing ERP solutions, it's crucial to consider their overall approach—whether they are platform-centric or suite-centric. Platform-centric systems offer flexibility and adaptability, allowing companies to integrate best-in-class solutions for various business functions. However, this often results in a more complex implementation process and ongoing maintenance challenges. On the other hand, suite-centric ERPs provide a comprehensive, all-in-one solution but require businesses to replace existing systems entirely, potentially leading to disruptions and adoption hurdles. The right choice depends on an organization’s size, operational complexity, and long-term digital transformation goals. In compiling this list of the top 10 automotive ERP systems in 2025, multiple variables were considered to ensure a well-rounded analysis. Factors such as product share, acquisition strategies, technological advancements, and the presence of an active user community were all taken into account. Additionally, the alignment of an ERP system’s product roadmap with the evolving needs of the automotive sector played a significant role in the evaluation process. Companies seeking an ERP solution should not only focus on current functionalities but also on the vendor's vision for future enhancements, ensuring long-term scalability and continued industry relevance. The list covered as part of this video: 10. IFS 9. Oracle Cloud ERP 8. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations 7. SAP S/4 HANA 6. DELMIAWorks 5. Infor CloudSuite Industrial 4. Plex 3.

Top 10 WMS Systems In 2025 | Best Warehouse Management Systems | Top Warehouse Software When evaluating Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), it’s essential to recognize the diversity within the category and understand how they align with your specific business needs. Some platforms are designed as best-of-breed solutions, purpose-built to serve as standalone WMS systems, offering advanced capabilities. In contrast, others may function as modules within larger ERP systems or other software suites. This distinction matters greatly because generalized systems might lack the specialized features required for unique operational challenges. Whether you’re a small, medium, or large company, selecting the right WMS involves more than just checking rankings. It's critical to examine the commentary on each system, as they often cater to specific market segments, industries, or operational models. The type of business you operate and the structure of your value chain also play a crucial role in WMS selection. Systems designed for shippers—encompassing manufacturers, distributors, and retailers—address conventional warehouse workflows, whereas 3PL companies require features tailored to their distinct processes. For 3PL businesses, essential functionalities often include value-added services, billing capabilities, and hybrid business model support. Additionally, certain systems come with advanced features like slotting and location-based intelligence, which smaller systems may lack. Integrations with warehouse devices, such as vending machines or ASRS systems, are also key considerations, as custom integration can be cost-prohibitive. It’s vital to ensure these integrations are either pre-baked or easily customizable. Lastly, WMS systems frequently intersect with other business functions, such as Order Management Systems, especially in retail-focused verticals. This integrated functionality streamlines operations but also adds complexity to system selection. To make an informed decision, evaluate criteria like product roadmap, ecosystem maturity, technology strategy, and market share. Systems with robust community ecosystems and proven win rates are better positioned for long-term success. Additionally, consider the strategic focus of the vendor on the WMS category, as this reflects their commitment to innovation and growth in the space. By carefully analyzing these factors, businesses can identify a WMS that not only meets current needs but also supports future scalability and operational efficiency. The list covered as part of this video: 10. Tecsys 9. mobe3 WMS 8. Logiwa WMS 7. Softeon 6. Infor WMS 5. Oracle WMS 4. SAP EWM 3. Korber/HighJump 2. Blue Yonder 1.

Top 10 ERP Systems For Small Business In 2025 | SMB Enterprise Resource Planning | Best SMB ERPs When evaluating small businesses for this list, we define them as companies generating between $10 million and $100 million in revenue or an equivalent metric where revenue may not be a reliable indicator, such as in pharmaceuticals or medical devices. Our analysis spans all industries, which means that while the list itself is valuable, the order of rankings may not apply universally. Some products may be better suited for specific industries, and others may not be relevant at all. That’s why it’s crucial to pay close attention to the commentary on where each product excels. Additionally, because we are strictly focusing on small businesses, the companies in this segment tend to have limited implementation budgets—though not as constrained as startups. These businesses have matured beyond the startup phase and are now seeking their second ERP system, refining their operational processes in a way that startups typically do not. A key consideration here is when businesses outgrow simpler accounting solutions like QuickBooks. While some companies can manage with QuickBooks even at $50 million or $100 million in revenue due to strong margins and lower operational complexity, others—particularly those in product-based industries—require an ERP system by the time they reach $30 million. This is often the inflection point where process inefficiencies become too costly to ignore. In contrast, service-based industries may have different needs and adoption timelines for ERP solutions. Even though these small businesses are implementing ERPs, their process maturity remains limited, especially in planning. Advanced planning tools and complex integrations may be overwhelming at this stage, leading these businesses to favor simpler systems with larger third-party ecosystems and readily available add-ons. To curate this list, we used several criteria to evaluate ERP products, ensuring they align well with small businesses. These factors include overall product share, acquisition strategies of ERP vendors, the extent of their focus on small businesses, the strength of their product roadmap, the engagement and size of their community ecosystem, their win rate in competitive sales situations, and their overall technology strategy and investor backing. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in determining which ERP systems are best suited for this market segment. Now, with these considerations in mind, let’s dive into the list and explore the top ERP solutions for small businesses. The list covered as part of this video: 10. Sage Intacct 9. Epicor Kinetic 8. Aptean Food and Beverage ERP 7. Epicor Prophet 21 6. Infor CloudSuite Industrial 5. Rootstock 4. NetSuite 3. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2. SYSPRO 1.

Top 10 Medical Device ERP Systems In 2025 | Best Medical Device ERPs | Top Medical Software When evaluating the top ERP systems for the medical device segment, it's important to first establish what falls under this category. This list focuses solely on ERP products rather than the companies or publishers behind them. Additionally, it includes solutions that cater to businesses of all sizes—whether startups, small enterprises, mid-sized firms, or large corporations. Since ERP needs vary depending on the size and complexity of an organization, it’s crucial to pay close attention to the commentary, where each system will be discussed in terms of its suitability for different business sizes and models. Simply because a system ranks high on the list does not necessarily mean it is the best fit for every company; the key is understanding where each system excels and how it aligns with specific operational needs. The medical device industry is diverse, encompassing multiple business models that influence ERP system selection. This includes biotech and medtech companies, as well as those manufacturing capital equipment devices or consumables. Each of these categories comes with unique requirements—biotech firms, for instance, may need advanced regulatory compliance and research-focused capabilities, whereas capital equipment manufacturers require robust supply chain and lifecycle management tools. Companies producing consumables might prioritize high-volume production efficiency and traceability. Given these variations, ERP systems must be evaluated based on how well they support the specific demands of each business model. Selecting the right ERP solution involves considering factors such as industry compliance, process automation, and scalability to meet future growth. To ensure a well-rounded ranking, we have used several key criteria to evaluate the ERP systems on this list. These include product share within the medical device industry, acquisition strategies that demonstrate a provider’s focus on this sector, product roadmap indicating future innovation, strength of the community ecosystem, win rate in securing industry clients, overall technology strategy, and the involvement of investors. ERP vendors that consistently acquire and enhance solutions tailored for medical device companies receive higher rankings due to their demonstrated commitment to the industry. With these factors in mind, let’s now take a closer look at the top ERP systems for the medical device sector in 2025. The list covered as part of this video: 10. SYSPRO 9. Deacom 8. Oracle Cloud ERP 7. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations 6. SAP S/4 HANA 5. Infor CloudSuite Industrial 4. Epicor Kinetic 3. Rootstock 2. Sage X3 1.

Top 10 Mid Sized Business ERP In 2025 | Mid-sized Enterprise Resource Planning | Best Mid-sized ERPs When discussing mid-sized ERP systems for 2025, we define the mid-market segment as companies generating between $100 million and roughly $1 billion in revenue. However, even within this segment, there are notable differences between the lower mid-market ($100 million to $250 million) and the upper mid-market (above $250 million). These two sub-segments have distinct needs and priorities when selecting ERP systems, so while we’ve compiled a single list, it's important to pay attention to the commentary regarding where each product performs best. Since this list covers all industries, it may not be as tailored to specific sectors. Our general recommendation is to first look for a list specific to your industry and size. If a targeted list is unavailable, then using a broader, more generic ranking—like this one—can serve as a useful starting point for your ERP selection process. The goal of this list is to assist companies in long-list planning, particularly if they do not have the budget for a professional ERP selection engagement. However, it’s essential to align ERP choices with your organization’s requirements, operating model, and future scalability needs. Most companies in this segment operate in fewer than 10 countries, meaning the ERP systems designed for them tend to have limited global reach compared to enterprise-level solutions. Unlike smaller businesses, where ERP adoption is sometimes optional, mid-sized companies generally require sophisticated planning and scheduling capabilities to optimize their operations. These systems are more mature than those used in smaller businesses, offering better forecasting, supply chain management, and workflow automation. While implementation budgets are available at this level, companies may still have limitations regarding deep customization and extensive third-party integrations—something more common in large enterprise ERP deployments. To compile this list, we used multiple criteria, ensuring that the selected ERP systems align well with mid-sized businesses. Our evaluation factors include overall product market share, vendor acquisition strategies, the ERP provider’s focus on mid-sized businesses, the strength of their product roadmap, the vibrancy of their user and partner community ecosystem, their win rate in competitive sales cycles, their broader technology strategy, and investor backing. These considerations help determine which ERP solutions are best suited for mid-sized companies based on their industry presence, functionality, and scalability. With these factors in mind, let's dive into the list of the top 10 mid-sized ERP systems for 2025. The list covered as part of this video: 10. Plex 9. Unit4 8. Deltek 7. Sage X3 6. QAD 5. IFS 4.
