Not every manufacturing ERP is designed for the same type of manufacturing. That sounds obvious. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch #DiscreteManufacturing #Manufacturing #ERP

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. Read: www.elevatiq.com/post/as400-m... #AS400 #ERPSelection #ERP

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

ERP failures are rarely just technology stories. Sometimes, they become business survival stories. Gordon Companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 14, 2026. Read: www.martincid.com/business/gor... #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

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

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

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

Sam Gupta @samguptausa.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

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. #GuptaERP #CIO #CFO

One thing I have learned about NetSuite pricing is that the initial quote rarely tells the whole story. Oracle does not publish official NetSuite pricing. Every deal is negotiated. Read: www.elevatiq.com/post/netsuit... #ERP #NetSuite #CFO

Sam Gupta @samguptausa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

One thing I have learned from years of enterprise software projects. Sales and developers can look at the exact same requirement and see two completely different things. #GuptaERP #CIO #CFO

I have sat through more ERP demos than I can count. And one thing is almost always true. The software looks much better in the demo than it will ever look during implementation. Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis... #ERP #CIO #CFO

Configure-to-order manufacturing is often grouped with make-to-order. In my experience, that misses one of the biggest differences. The configurator is really at the center of the operating model. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch #ERP #CTO #CFO
