Modern Cloud ERP Is Ruining ERP's Scary Reputation!

“Sadin on Digital” episodes explore the fast-changing and
high-stakes world of digital business. In this discussion, Wayne
and I talk about how modern ERP has changed, and if the board and
C-Suite executives are not aligned with you through thick and
thin, things will go badly.


Wayne talks about how the scariest three letter word in the
English language is ERP (enterprise resource planning). He talks
to board members and C-Suite executives about ERP, and he listens
to them when they say it’s going to cost more, it’s not going to
work, and it’s going to take forever. But that’s not the case.
You can get an ERP in the cloud for a fraction of the cost.


In his final thoughts, Wayne discusses how if you’ve got a
typical 20-year old software suite that’s discombobulated and
disconnected – and half your business runs on Excel spreadsheets,
you’ve got a problem. Modern ERP has all the resources for AI,
IoT, mixed reality, drones, sensors, edge computing, and advanced
analytics – and you should use them!
