What AI Is Really Doing in ERP
AI + ERP isn’t replacing people — it’s replacing inefficiencies.
- Automating the Repetitive: Month-end closing, invoice matching, purchase order approvals — tasks that drain consultants and finance teams are now handled by AI.
- Boosting Decision-Making: Predictive analytics, AI-driven insights, and Copilot assistance mean faster and more confident decisions.
- Enhancing Productivity: With low-code/no-code (LCNC) tools, consultants and end-users can design, test, and deploy workflows without heavy IT involvement.
AI isn’t about fewer jobs. It’s about better jobs.
From Busywork to High-Impact Work
Instead of spending hours reconciling data, consultants can now:
- Focus on business transformation strategy.
- Build custom LCNC apps tailored to a client’s needs.
- Drive AI adoption workshops that create lasting change.
This shift means consultants become partners in growth, not just system implementers.
Why Organizations Should Embrace AI + ERP
- Cost Reduction Without Headcount Cuts – AI eliminates waste, not people.
- Agility Through LCNC – Processes evolve faster when business users can adjust workflows themselves.
- Empowered Workforce – Teams spend less time on routine tasks, more on innovation and problem-solving.
The Consultant's New Role
The best consultants are no longer judged only by technical ERP expertise. Instead, they bring:
- AI strategy alignment – translating business goals into AI use cases.
- LCNC enablement – empowering clients to build and own workflows.
- Change management – guiding teams through the cultural shift AI brings.
