Ask a room full of senior leaders to rate their organization’s AI maturity on a scale of one to five, and most will fall between a two and a three. Ask the same group to rate their ERP maturity, and the numbers shift — a three or four is more common. That one-point gap may…
Most CEOs feel disappointed by ERP modernization because the promised returns fall short. Software cost savings are marginal, and efficiency gains rarely translate into meaningful growth.

Product codes, contract terms, and pricing exceptions are typed into another system. Three weeks later, a billing dispute arises. Cash is still outstanding. This isn’t an edge case; it’s the norm for many companies. Every week, this scenario…
