For years, consulting firms and independent advisors have thrived on fixed-fee or hourly billing models. However, with changing times, the consulting industry is also evolving and businesses now demand more than just advice. They expect practical, scalable solutions that produce measurable outcomes.This is where ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions and specifically, the Expand smERP Partner Program present a timely and strategic opportunity for consultants. By integrating ERP offerings into your practice, you can differentiate yourself in a crowded market, build long-term client relationships, and unlock recurring revenue that goes beyond traditional consulting fees.
Over 80% of SMEs expected to adopt ERP systems by 2025, consultants are uniquely positioned to guide these businesses through the transition. The Indian ERP market alone is rising, projected to reach ₹98.4 billion with a CAGR of 10% over the next five years.
