Can AI actually make your workday easier?

Instead of adding complicated new tools, Sage is building smart assistants directly into the accounting software businesses already use every day. The goal: help you spot delays, automate repetitive tasks, and make better decisions—while keeping people firmly in the driver’s seat.

In our latest article, TEC analyst PJ Jakovljevic breaks down what Sage is building and why a simple, practical approach matters for growing businesses.

When selecting an ERP system, functionality has traditionally been one of the main areas organizations have evaluated. Artificial intelligence adds another dimension to this decision-making process.

As well as comparing the AI features that vendors offer today, organizations need to ask themselves questions such as: Is our ERP data easily accessible and usable? Can AI operate across ERP and other enterprise systems? Can AI outputs be governed, explained and audited? How dependent will we be on our ERP vendor's roadmap? And, will the architecture allow us to adopt different AI technologies as they evolve?

These are all important considerations when evaluating ERP in the age of AI.

Join Mehdi Aftahi, CTO at Technology Evaluation Centers, on September 30 for "Designing AI-Ready Enterprise Architectures: Selecting ERP in the Age of AI".

If your organization is considering ERP selection or modernization, this webinar will help you to consider factors beyond functionality and current AI features.

How much control should manufacturers give AI?

That question becomes increasingly important as AI moves beyond recommendations and begins taking actions inside enterprise systems.
SYSPRO Torque approaches the challenge with manufacturing-specific knowledge, governed workflows, audit trails, upfront cost estimates, and different levels of AI autonomy.

TEC Principal Analyst Predrag (PJ) Jakovljevic takes a closer look at Torque and what its approach could mean for manufacturers seeking measurable value from industrial AI.

Planning an ERP or enterprise software project? TEC provides independent guidance to help organizations evaluate their options and make decisions based on their actual business requirements.

09/25/2026

AI that provides an answer is one thing. However, AI that helps determine what an organization should do next, and potentially assists in executing that decision is another matter entirely.

As enterprise AI becomes more involved in operational decisions, questions about governance become increasingly important:

Can the reasoning behind a recommendation be explained? Is the underlying data reliable? Who authorizes the action? Can the decision be audited? Who is ultimately accountable for the outcome?

The opportunity is significant: faster analysis, better use of enterprise information, and shorter decision cycles. But moving from insight to action requires something equally important: the right controls around the technology.

What do Sage's recent acquisitions tell us about its broader software strategy?

Beyond adding individual products, Sage is building connections across HR, payroll, finance, expense management, and operational data.

This article by PJ Jakovljevic looks at how the Fyle, Fairsail, CakeHR, and Criterion solution acquisitions have strengthened Sage’s offerings in expense management, HR, payroll, and HCM, while supporting its broader focus on automation, connected data, and industry-specific solutions.

If you are evaluating HCM, payroll, ERP, or financial management software, looking beyond individual features to understand the vendor's broader product strategy can provide valuable context.

Transitioning from supply chain planning to orchestration requires more than simply incorporating AI.

Organizations need to integrate the ways in which they detect changes, assess their impact, make decisions, implement responses and learn from outcomes.

This has important implications when evaluating supply chain technology. As well as comparing features, organizations should determine whether a solution can support connected planning and ex*****on, respond to changing conditions and integrate with their broader technology environment.

If you are selecting or replacing enterprise software, TEC can help you define your organization's needs and evaluate the available solutions independently.

A great morning at Digital Stratosphere 2026! 👏

Earlier today, Valentin Beranek, PMP, TEC's VP of Digital Transformation and Implementation Services, presented Selecting and Implementing ERP in the Age of AI in Denver.

He discussed how AI is changing the ERP landscape, from the new capabilities being added to the core ERP system to the architectural, integration, governance and risk factors that organizations need to consider when selecting and implementing enterprise software.

It was great to see the interest and engagement around a topic that is becoming increasingly important as organizations determine where and how AI should fit within their enterprise technology strategy.

Thank you Third Stage Consulting Group for bringing the community together and to everyone who joined Valentin's session and contributed to the discussion.

We are entering a new stage of Industry 4.0.

Manufacturers have adopted connected equipment, ERP, MES, automation, analytics and digital twins, and are increasingly adopting AI. However, many organizations are still struggling to integrate these technologies into a single operating environment.

In Part 1 of the analysis, TEC Principal Analyst Jorge García examines why integration, data and operational intelligence are becoming central to the next phase of Industry 4.0, and what this means for discrete manufacturers.
