Acumatica’s Sanket Akerkar on How AI is Revitalizing the ERP Channel

31 minutes

Enterprise resource planning systems have long been the operational backbone of businesses, but advances in cloud computing and artificial intelligence are transforming how they are used. AI is turning ERP from a static system of record into a system of intelligence by applying automation, analytics, and decision support to the core data that runs a company—finance, supply chains, procurement, and operations. These changes are also creating new opportunities for partners that implement and support ERP platforms, as success increasingly depends on industry expertise and the ability to translate technology into business outcomes. Sanket Akerkar, president and COO of Acumatica, joins Larry Walsh on Changing Channels to talk about how ERP is cool again.
