ERP News Magazine June 2026 – Issue #61 – Download Here (PDF)
We’re excited to announce the release of ERP News Magazine Issue 61 — our June 2026 edition!
This issue explores a theme that is rapidly reshaping enterprise technology: When People and ERP Work Together with AI – The Human–Algorithm Alliance in Action.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a separate capability layered onto enterprise systems. Increasingly, AI is becoming part of the operational fabric of organizations — embedded into workflows, connected to business context, and designed to augment human expertise rather than replace it.
Across ERP, finance, public services, and enterprise operations, organizations are discovering that the greatest value of AI comes not from automation alone, but from collaboration between people and intelligent systems. The future of enterprise software will be defined by how effectively humans and algorithms work together to make better decisions, execute faster, and adapt to change.
Through executive interviews, expert articles, customer stories, and industry news, this issue examines how this transformation is unfolding across different industries and operational environments.
Highlights from this issue:

Jon Stevens, Senior Vice President at Basware, discusses how finance leaders are approaching SAP modernization, why invoice lifecycle management is becoming a strategic priority, and how AI is reshaping accounts payable

Why read this issue:
Issue 61 provides a strategic perspective on one of the most important shifts happening in enterprise technology today: the move from AI as a standalone capability to AI as a collaborative partner embedded inside ERP and business workflows.
As AI becomes part of everyday operations, success will depend not only on smarter algorithms, but on creating trusted environments where people, data, and intelligent systems work together seamlessly.
The next generation of ERP will not be defined solely by automation or intelligence. It will be defined by collaboration — between people and algorithms, between data and decisions, and between technology and the organizations that rely on it every day.
