Before You Replace Your ERP: The CFO’s 2027 Decision Framework
Before replacing your ERP, establish whether late reporting and manual reconciliations point to a system problem, or to the processes, data and integrations around it.

LIVE ONLINE30 SEPTEMBER 202645 MINUTES + Q&A
Why attend
Before you approve a replacement, know what is failing.
An ERP replacement will not fix late source data, unreliable integrations, unclear processes or work that has no clear owner.
This session helps you distinguish a genuine platform constraint from an operating issue, before you commit a significant budget.
02
Separate the
fault.
Tell the difference between a system limitation and a problem with data, integrations, process or ownership.
03
Decide what happens next.
Leave with a practical route: fix, rescue, replace or do a short diagnostic before spending the budget.
