Conversational ERP Reporting: Querying Your Business Data in Plain English

Conversational ERP Reporting: Querying Your Business Data in Plain English

Conversational ERP reporting solves one of the most predictable problems in any mid-sized company: the reporting backlog. Finance needs a breakdown of Q3 margin by product line excluding intercompany transactions, broken out by business unit. Operations wants to know which purchase orders are past due from suppliers in a specific region. Sales wants to see pipeline conversion by rep compared to the same quarter last year. Each of these requires someone who can write SQL or configure a BI report, and there are never enough of those people. According to a 2025 Business Intelligence benchmark study, enterprises integrating AI into their BI workflows report 50% faster insight delivery, and NLP capabilities now enable 59% of employees to query data using conversational prompts. The technology is not experimental. The question is whether your ERP is built to support it.

ERP Fraud Detection: Why Rules Are Not Enough Anymore

ERP Fraud Detection: Why Rules Are Not Enough Anymore

Seventy-nine percent of organizations reported attempted or actual payments fraud in 2024, and the number has held stubbornly high for three consecutive years, according to the AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey. That figure has not improved meaningfully year over year. What has changed is the attack surface: AP workflows that once required insider access are now targeted by external actors using AI-generated communications, synthetic vendor identities, and bank account substitution schemes that arrive through normal email channels. Rule-based ERP fraud detection was designed for a different threat environment. It is showing its age.

How much will an ERP cost in 2026?

Discussing the cost of an ERP is often one of a manager's first instincts. And that's understandable: an ERP represents a major, structuring, and long-term investment. On the market, you see everything: ERPs advertised at $30,000, others at $500,000, some billed monthly, others as one-time projects. Yet, behind these figures lie very different, and rarely comparable, realities.
