Transforming ERP: from a system of record to a system of action

ROUNDTABLE
9 September 2025 10:00 am - 11:30 am EST
IN PARTNERSHIP

Does your current ERP really provide a true picture of the cost of manufacturing in a volatile world?

ERP is the backbone of any organization. What began as a financial tool for tracking accounting has since evolved into a comprehensive system that provides real-time information essential for manufacturers to stay competitive and achieve their goals.

But today's manufacturing environment is increasingly dynamic. Fluctuating costs, uncertain buyers, shifting economies and a volatile geopolitical environment mean that getting a clear understanding of the true cost of manufacturing is increasingly difficult. Providing the right foundation to make the most of emerging technologies such as IoT, automation and AI is equally tough. Having the right ERP solution is more crucial than ever.

So how do you transform your ERP from a system of record to a system of action? How do you produce exactly what your customers want, when they want it, while optimizing costs and maximizing profits? And how do you identify issues before they become problems? Join this Meet the Boss roundtable, in partnership with Epicor, to find out.
