WBSP922: Scale Growth by Learning from Navigating Vendor Pressure and Agentic AI Disruption, an Objective Panel Review

ERP modernization has become a critical strategic decision for CIOs and technology leaders as organizations face mounting pressure from vendor-driven cloud migration programs, end-of-support deadlines, rising operating costs, and growing expectations for innovation. While traditional modernization strategies have largely focused on migrating legacy systems to newer cloud platforms, the emergence of agentic AI is challenging these assumptions. Organizations now have opportunities to rethink business processes, automate complex workflows, and create value beyond conventional ERP upgrades. However, these developments also introduce new questions about architecture, integration, governance, and long-term flexibility. As a result, technology leaders must evaluate whether traditional ERP modernization approaches still provide the right balance of business value, agility, cost, and future readiness, or whether a fundamentally different transformation strategy is needed.
In this episode, Sam Gupta from ElevatIQ is joined by Eric Helmer from Rimini Street where they discuss ERP modernization crossroads: navigating vendor pressure, cost constraints, and agentic AI disruption.
