Summary

Modern enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems can shed light on operations across silos, meet rapidly evolving needs and vastly improve efficiency, but there’s always a risk in investing in new systems: What if something new and better comes along after I’ve committed?

Cloud-based ERP, especially systems available on traditional commercial networks instead of private clouds, addresses that challenge head-on. Mid-sized companies can benefit from:

  • Scalability: As your company grows or you need new features, you won’t need to add IT resources or undergo custom software changes.
  • Continuous Innovation: Cloud ERP software is constantly updated and takes advantage of new technology, like embedding AI algorithms and adding new features and support for new business models
  • Best Practices: Cloud ERP Providers that work with thousands of manufacturers, can support industry specific requirements and can share use cases showing how similar companies achieve their goals with limited capital and people.


Join us for this live interactive event during which we will discuss how mid-sized manufacturers ($300 million to $1 billion in sales) can benefit the most from adaptable, powerful ERP systems. Discover how a modern digital platform can help tackle fragile supply chains and streamline complex processes. 

Learn why public cloud ERP is the essential foundation for growth and meeting changing business requirements —offering seamless integration of applications, robust data governance, and embedded AI to anticipate risks, optimize performance and fuel growth. Through real-world success stories, we will explore the critical challenges slowing manufacturers down and show how a unified business suite strategy drives efficiency and insights at scale.
