Choosing a new ERP is not just an IT decision. 

It’s a business decision that will shape your operations for years. Many organisations planning an ERP change face questions like: 

  • How do we avoid choosing a system we outgrow in two years? 
  • How do we compare vendors beyond the sales pitch? 
  • What should we prepare internally before starting conversations? 
  • How do we reduce risk, cost overruns, and business disruption? 
  • How important is AI when evaluating modern ERP systems? 

 

If 2026 is the year you’re considering a new ERP, getting the decision right now is critical. 

This webinar will help you do exactly that.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Planning a New ERP for 2026: How to Choose the Right System 

This session is designed to help leadership teams approach ERP selection in a structured, practical way — without technical jargon and without vendor bias. 

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to choose, not just what to buy. 

What you'll learn

During this 45-minute session, we’ll cover: 

How ERP decisions really happen
Why businesses start the search, how the journey unfolds, what role demos and references play, and what you should focus on from day one.

What actually matters when choosing an ERP
Defining the right project scope, setting realistic goals, understanding resource needs, balancing flexibility and complexity, and planning for multi-entity or international growth.

How to choose the right ERP partner
The difference between support models, the value of industry experience, why long-term partnership matters, and how tailored demos and a strong ROI case led to better decisions.

AI in ERP – what’s real and what’s hype
Where AI is already delivering practical value in modern ERP systems – and how to separate genuine benefits from marketing noise.
