One thing I have learned from working with manufacturers is that not every manufacturing ERP is built the same way.

#ERP #ProcessManufacturing #CFO Moving ERP to the cloud solves a lot of problems.
But maybe not the problems people think it solves.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO What are the top discrete manufacturing ERP systems in 2026?
I get this question quite a bit.
Watch: www.youtube.com/watch
#ERP #DiscreteManufacturing #CFO For years, I have seen ERP architecture treated as an IT topic.
Database. Integrations. Customizations. Infrastructure.
As long as orders move and invoices get generated, few executives want to discuss what is underneath.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO That IBM is eventually going to kill the platform.
That’s not really what’s happening.

#ERP #CIO #CFO SuiteWorld and Oracle AI World should be interesting this year.
If you’re evaluating an ERP upgrade, there should be plenty to explore.
DM me if you’re attending. Would love to compare notes.
#SuiteWorld #OracleAIWorld #ERP NetSuite pricing can look very different at renewal than it did when you first signed.
I see this becoming especially important for growing companies.

#ERP #CIO #CFO FABTECH is always a great place to see where manufacturing is actually headed.
Join me for my session on the Resilient Intelligent Factory.
I’m there for two days. DM me if you want to catch up.
#Fabtech #Manufacturing #ERP I’ve been having more conversations with Dynamics GP customers lately.
And one thing keeps coming up.
What comes after GP?

#ERP #CIO #CFO Infor Velocity is here.
I’ll be spending time on the floor, talking to customers, partners, and industry peers.
DM me if you’re attending.
Would love to catch up, compare notes, and explore how we might work together.
#Infor #ERP #InforVelocity I have seen ERP systems look surprisingly good during acquisition due diligence.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO I see MES evaluations changing quite a bit.
They used to be primarily shop-floor conversations.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#Infor #MES #ERP One thing I have learned from ERP projects is that training and adoption are two very different things.
#ERP #CFO #CIO I see a common pattern when companies evaluate FP&A platforms.
The conversation starts with budgeting.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#Cube #FPnA #ERP One pattern I see in struggling ERP environments is that the business starts operating in two realities.
#ERP #CFO #CIO One thing I have learned from ERP projects: temporary processes have an incredible ability to become permanent.
#ERP #CFO #CIO Almost every manufacturer has projects.
That doesn't make every manufacturer a project manufacturer.
This distinction matters when evaluating ERP systems.
Watch: www.youtube.com/watch
#ProjectManufacturing #Manufacturing #ERP ERP adoption rarely falls apart because of one big event.
In my experience, it usually happens one small workaround at a time.
#ERP #CFO #CIO I see this assumption quite often in ERP modernization conversations.
We're on AS/400, so we need to get off it.

#AS400 #ERPSelection #ERP I have seen too many ERP programs treat go-live like the finish line.
#ERP #CFO #CIO Where does Optro fit in the GRC landscape?
We break down its strengths, limitations, ideal fit, and alternatives from an independent buyer’s perspective.

#GRC #RiskManagement #Audit One thing I always tell companies evaluating NetSuite:
Don't just negotiate the initial price.
Understand what happens when you grow.

#NetSuite #ERPSelection #ERP A strong ERP can still be the wrong ERP.
That's the conversation I'm looking forward to having with The ERP Update during Platform Talks on September 30 at 2:30 PM ET.

#ERP #ERPSelection #CFO One of the biggest mistakes I see with ERP implementations is treating them like construction projects.
That mindset might work for a building.
It rarely works for ERP.
#ERP #CFO #CIO Dynamics GP customers know the clock is ticking.
But I think there is a bigger issue with how many organizations are approaching the decision.

#MSGP #MicrosoftGP #ERP Evaluating Optro, formerly AuditBoard?
Join us for an independent review of its audit, risk, controls, SOX, and GRC capabilities from a buyer’s perspective.

#GRC #InternalAudit #Optro Infor Velocity is here.
I’ll be around the event.
DM me if you’d like to connect on the floor. Would love to catch up and explore how we can work together.
#Infor #ERP #InforVelocity ERP failures are rarely just technology stories.
Sometimes, they become business survival stories.
Gordon Companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 14, 2026.

#ERP #CFO #CIO I see a lot of expectations that AI will somehow diagnose why an ERP program is struggling.
Sometimes it can.
But CEO ownership? Strategic alignment? Leadership quality?
Those are much harder.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One thing I have learned from ERP implementations: finding the problem is rarely the hardest part.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO I have seen plenty of ERP problems that were visible long before go-live.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO A great ERP demo doesn't necessarily mean you've found the right ERP.

#ERP #ERPSelection #CFO One thing I have learned from ERP projects is that broken systems sometimes survive for a reason.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Heading to SuiteWorld and Oracle AI World.
If you’re considering an ERP upgrade, join me for a firsthand look at where Oracle is taking its platforms.
DM me if you want to connect on the floor.
#SuiteWorld #OracleAIWorld #ERP One thing I find interesting about AI is its potential to spot problems much earlier.
That could be incredibly valuable in ERP and digital transformation projects.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Fabtech is here. I am speaking there.
We’ll dig into eliminating downtime and empowering the connected workforce.
If you’re attending, DM me. Would love to connect on the floor and explore how we can work together.
#Fabtech #Manufacturing #ERP I see this tension all the time.
Leadership hears ERP modernization and thinks technology project.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Heading to Infor Velocity.
And if you’re attending, DM me.
Always happy to catch up, exchange notes, and explore opportunities to work together.
#Infor #ERP #InforVelocity Another week. Another reminder that ERP failures rarely stay inside the ERP.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Most ERP implementations I have seen don't struggle because the ERP can't handle the basics.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#ERP #Lensing #AI One thing I have learned from working on digital transformation programs is that buying more technology rarely fixes a productivity problem by itself.
BDO Canada’s latest research makes a similar point.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO I have seen finance teams approach FP&A selection as a search for a better budgeting tool.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#FPnA #DriveTrain #CFO I have seen this movie before.
A technology gets everyone’s attention. Leadership wants to move fast. The use cases sound compelling.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One of my favorite moments during an ERP implementation is when the consultants turn to the users and say:
“Now try to break it.”
The users start processing their normal daily transactions.
And somehow, breaking it requires very little creativity.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Configure-to-order manufacturing is one of those models that can look deceptively simple during an ERP evaluation.
Watch: www.youtube.com/watch
#ERP #CTO #Manufacturing One of the biggest mistakes I see in ERP projects is expecting a new system to preserve every old process.
Companies spend millions replacing the ERP. Then they spend months trying to make the new system behave exactly like the old one.
