SAP requires
a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we

SAP Integrated Business Planning was easiest to implement versus MS Dynamics and Jira because it allows us to scale on-demand, always having in mind our business requirements and without sacrificing compute resources or increasing costs by adopting operating system licenses. This is the case with MS Dynamics 365. Jira, which was previously used for years, was transforming into a monster because it is difficult, heavy, and hard to use for all organizations. SAP Integrated Business Planning was an excellent choice for countering all the issues with other solutions in the market, although it increased our budget.
