"Thirty-six percent say they think traditional ERP will become obsolete in favor of a "composable, modular, flexible, API-driven, best-of-breed model." Meanwhile, 33 percent think the future lies in "agentic ERP [with] autonomous, AI-driven decision-making," according to the study commissioned by Rimini Street, a provider of third-party support services for Oracle and SAP software."
"You can put all the AI within that one particular vendor, which means that you are relying on that vendor to give you those particular outcomes. But in order to be able to do that, it's a complete rip and replace of everything that you have today, and then to move on to their subscription-based cloud,"
"If you come to that conclusion, then the version of that ERP becomes quite irrelevant, because you have the keys to the kingdom already today. Instead of looking at the ERP as the place to put your AI aspirations, start thinking of more of a data source. You take the AI outside of the ERP, you ingest that data, and you do the beautiful things,"
Seventy percent of C-suite executives do not view traditional ERP as the future. Thirty-six percent favor a composable, modular, API-driven best-of-breed model, while 33 percent prefer an agentic, autonomous AI-driven ERP. Moving all AI into a single vendor often requires a full rip-and-replace and migration to that vendor's subscription cloud. The chief technical officer emphasized that ERP value for AI is primarily the underlying data rather than the application itself. Treating ERP as a data source and applying AI outside the ERP can enable real-time decision support across multiple business applications. Ninety-seven percent reported current ERP satisfaction with business requirements.
