ERP at a Crossroads: Why Agentic AI Is the Game-Changer

ROUNDTABLE
10 February 2026 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm GMT
IN PARTNERSHIP

How to turn ERP from a static system of record into a dynamic system of action, leveraging AI for measurable business outcomes in weeks, not years.

You can’t ignore Enterprise ERP systems are under pressure.

Rising costs, rigid architectures, and slow innovation cycles are leaving organizations stuck between expensive upgrades and operational risk. At the same time, AI is evolving beyond predictive analytics into agentic models that act autonomously to achieve business goals.

To break this cycle, organizations are rethinking ERP not as a monolithic system of record, but as a flexible, AI-enabled platform for execution. This means modernizing core ERP with cloud-based, composable architectures that integrate agentic AI capable of orchestrating workflows, making decisions, and acting across systems in real time. By embedding AI agents alongside ERP, rather than forcing innovation through costly rip-and-replace upgrades, leaders can automate routine processes, optimize spend, accelerate insights, and adapt faster to changing business
conditions. So, where do you start?

Join Rimini Street and a select group of your peers as we discuss how to achieve an ERP environment that shifts from passive transaction processing to active business enablement, reducing
risk while unlocking continuous innovation.
