AI & Data Architecture Considerations in ERP Selection: Reducing Implementation Risk and Enabling Long-Term Enterprise Value
Apr 30th, 2026 | 1 PM ET
ERP selection is no longer just about features. It is about architecture. The structure of your application landscape and data model directly shapes implementation success, reporting accuracy, and long-term performance. Many organizations still prioritize functional fit and go-live speed. However, they often overlook how data flows, how systems integrate, and how governance is enforced. As a result, they introduce hidden risks that surface after deployment. These risks show up as broken workflows, inconsistent reporting, and limited automation potential.
This webinar shifts the conversation. It reframes ERP evaluation through the lens of data architecture and AI readiness. We will explore how application design decisions impact implementation stability. We will also examine how standardized, governed data reduces operational friction and supports scalable growth. More importantly, we will connect ERP architecture to enterprise intelligence. A well-structured ERP is not just a system of record. It becomes the foundation for decision-making across finance, operations, and customer engagement.
By the end of this session, you will gain a practical framework to evaluate ERP systems beyond surface-level capabilities. You will learn how to assess data models, integration strategies, and governance maturity. You will also understand how these factors influence automation, analytics, and long-term value creation. This approach enables you to select an ERP that not only works today but scales with your business tomorrow.
