WBSP904: Scale Growth by Understanding Configure, Buy, or Build? How AI Changes ERP Decisions, an Objective Panel Review
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
ERP implementations rarely fail because of limitations in core functionality. Instead, they tend to break down in the final stages, where industry-specific workflows, company-specific processes, and complex edge cases drive extensive customization that can cost several times more than the ERP platform itself. This last mile is often where organizations lose control of project scope, budgets, and implementation timelines. AI-native ERP strategies are beginning to change this dynamic by shifting custom capabilities outside the ERP core. Rather than embedding complex customizations or relying on fragile bolt-on solutions, platforms such as AiSpecify enable organizations to build governed, auditable applications around the ERP, extending functionality while preserving data integrity, simplifying future upgrades, and maintaining a disciplined enterprise architecture.
In this episode, Sam Gupta from ElevatIQ is joined by Sam Yen from Everest ERP where they discuss how to decide between configure, buy, or build and how AI Changes ERP Decisions.
