The report, ‘Market Snapshot: Supply Chain Management Software, Worldwide, 2014’, found that SAP grew its supply chain business by 19.9 per cent last year, representing a significant market share increase of 25.8 per cent.
In particular, SAP extended its number one market position for supply chain planning, representing a 30.6 per cent 2014 revenue share, which SAP attributes to the continued adoption of SAP Advance Planning and Optimisation and SAP Integrated Business Planning on the HANA platform.
