ERP Strengths
- Enforces structured processes.
- Maintains compliance controls.
- Centralises financial data.
ERP Limitations
- Struggles with unstructured data (emails, contracts, bank PDFs).
- Can’t make context-based decisions without custom coding.
Where AI Fits
FinOps AI Agents work with ERP to:
- Interpret and process unstructured inputs.
- Manage exceptions without manual intervention.
- Orchestrate workflows across ERP, CRM, banking, and payment systems.
