For decades, ERP meant a single system running operations for a handful of users, deployed on-premise, upgraded every few years, requiring VPNs, and disconnected from everything around it. However, that era is ending.
The future isn’t a bigger ERP. It’s a cloud-connected platform, where your core system, specialized applications, data, and AI are built to interoperate from the ground up and are able to scale and absorb new capabilities as fast as they appear.
Join this webinar for a forward look at why the all-in-one, on-premises ERP model is reaching its limits for manufacturers and distributors, and what’s possible when their whole business runs on one interconnected foundation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to evaluate your own environment and align stakeholders for the move from ERP-as-a-tool to platform-as-a-foundation
- How a cloud platform-and-ecosystem approach connects sales, product, finance, and operations natively, not through custom integration
- Why cloud-based ecosystems let you adopt new tools — AI agents included — in weeks, not years, once your data and systems are already connected
- Where AI agents and Copilot create real leverage, when they sit on connected, governed data instead of silos
- A live demonstration of the Microsoft ecosystem — Dynamics 365, Azure, AI agents, Copilot, and the data layer that connects them
