The future of ERP is intelligent, adaptive, and deeply integrated. After years of relative stability, the ERP market is undergoing a massive shift. Vendors are embedding AI across their platforms, building ecosystems of composable apps, centralized data, and scalable cloud infrastructure. The competitive landscape is shifting too: 1. Oracle: Big bets on AI pay off with revenue surge, and edges out SAP in some rankings. 2. SAP: Restructured, rejuvenated, and reaping the rewards. SAP is innovating around AI, with its Joule AI copilot that delivers real-time recommendations to end users. SAP says that Joule may be able to influence as much as 80% of common user tasks, potentially increasing productivity by 20%. 3. Microsoft bets big on agentic AI, unifying Dynamics, LinkedIn, and 365. According to analysts "Microsoft believes so strongly that SaaS is dead and agents are the future that it is combining agents with business and office productivity applications in one group." AI is no longer a future add-on for ERP — it’s becoming a core capability driving real business outcomes.

Very true Prashanth
Solutions engineering leader focussed on business outcomes and growth
2moSpot on, Prasanth Thomas (PT). In fact, ERP and Enterprise apps in general will likely be the core 'channel' that will deliver AI adoption at scale in enterprises. This, of course, barring a large scale refactoring of ERPs/ Enterprise Apps (remember Satya Nadella's 'SaaS is dead' observation a few months back) - albeit that type of change will be onerous, budget and time-intensive.
