We’re excited to announce the release of ERP News Magazine Issue 59 — our April 2026 edition!
This issue marks the beginning of our Q2 editorial theme, From Cloud to Collaboration — How ERP Unites People, Platforms, and Intelligence, exploring how ERP is evolving beyond infrastructure into a coordination layer that connects data, workflows, and decision-making across the enterprise.
While previous conversations focused heavily on cloud adoption and system modernization, this new phase highlights how organizations are leveraging ERP to align teams, enhance responsiveness, and operate with greater clarity in increasingly complex environments.
Our April focus dives deeper into the service economy, where competitive advantage is no longer defined solely by products, but by the ability to deliver accurate, timely, and consistent customer experiences powered by operational data.
Through executive interviews and real-world perspectives, this issue explores how ERP systems are moving closer to the moment of action—transforming from passive systems of record into active enablers of business performance.
