AI Is Not a System. It’s a Stakeholder. And Your ERP Transformation Depends on Treating It That Way.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects now routinely promise AI‑driven speed, automation and continuous optimization, often backed by multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar budgets.

Without this disciplined approach, the AI layer merely accelerates the flaws of a poorly governed ERP system.
