ERP Isn't Dead yet – but Most Execs Are Planning the Wake

A new Censuswide survey of 4,295 C‑suite leaders shows 70 percent believe traditional ERP’s heyday is over, yet opinions diverge on the next evolution. Thirty‑six percent favor a composable, API‑driven, best‑of‑breed model, while 33 percent back an AI‑agentic ERP that embeds autonomous decision‑making. Despite the skepticism, 97 percent remain satisfied with their existing ERP’s core functions, though 35 percent cite vendor lock‑in as a major pain point. The findings highlight a market at a crossroads between incremental third‑party extensions and wholesale platform redesigns.
