Process-manufacturing or chemicals/pharma (SAP S/4HANA significantly deeper), non-Microsoft shops (Oracle Fusion or SAP better fit), services-anchored at mid-market scope (Sage Intacct better), or buyers wanting the cleanest UX (Workday cleaner).
Microsoft 365 / Azure-anchored enterprises ($500M-$10B revenue, 1,000-25,000 employees) wanting native Microsoft integration with Power BI reporting and Power Platform extensibility, particularly retail, distribution, discrete manufacturing.
