In 2026, businesses face a scenario of accelerated digital transformation, in which the adoption of technological solutions becomes essential to ensure efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability. The complexity of markets, the requirement for agile processes and the increasing volume of data are leading organizations of all sizes to seek integrated management systems that provide control and intelligence for strategic decision-making.
In this context, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are gaining relevance as indispensable tools for integrating functional areas of the business, simplifying operations and offering real-time insights. According to a recent survey carried out by Panorama Mercado Software, more than 33% of Brazilian companies intend to acquire or replace their ERP systems by 2026, reflecting the growing demand for solutions that increase productivity and enable business scalability.
Investments in ERP in the country generated a revenue of $1,039.4 million in 2024 and is expected to reach $2,327.1 million by 2030. In the segment of the 200 largest Brazilian companies, SAP holds consolidated leadership with approximately 77% share, positioning itself as a benchmark in the integrated management systems sector.
Marcelo Furtado, Chief Technology Officer at Upper, SAP’s 19-year Gold Business Partner consultancy with over 500 SAP Business One implementation projects, emphasizes that “adopting a robust and adaptable ERP system is essential for businesses that want to grow with security and agility.” SAP Business One delivers exactly this combination, with updated technology, integration capability and data intelligence that enhances competitiveness in an increasingly digitalized market.”
SAP Business One can be an ERP solution aimed at small and medium-sized businesses, with around 80,000 customers and more than 1.2 million users, with the ability to integrate financial, sales, logistics and accounting processes on a single platform, enabling a complete strategic and operational vision.
For Upper’s technology manager, the Brazilian market for management systems, especially ERP, continues to grow rapidly, driven by factors such as tax complexity, compliance pressure, process automation and the need for constant innovation. “For next year, ERP is considered a strategic technological basis for any company that wants to position itself competitively, adapt quickly and guarantee its long-term sustainability,” he underlines.
