The latest addition of demand-driven replenishment supports an innovative approach to overall supply-chain excellence. Companies using SAP Integrated Business Planning can easily align sales and operations plans with corporate strategy to support revenue growth, increase market share and attain financial targets.

The Magic Quadrant for Sales and Operations Planning Systems of Differentiation examines the main vendors that provide S&OP systems of differentiation. According to Gartner, leaders are highly rated in key user requirements, such as supply chain modeling, collaboration, solution configurability, and tight integration with tactical and operational planning. They have developed capabilities for acceptable software pricing and implementation costs, along with faster deployment time scales (through cloud platforms, process templating, configuration and portfolio simplification).
