In the race to modernize the enterprise, the debate is no longer about choosing one ecosystem over another; it's about extending value from your existing SAP investment without introducing fragility. While SAP excels at integrating the "Core" within its own ecosystem, the modern enterprise lives everywhere else—from legacy on-prem systems to the burgeoning frontier of AI agents. Join ERP Today and MuleSoft for an executive-level deep dive into the Co-Exist Strategy. We explore how organizations are maintaining a clean SAP core while using MuleSoft as the universal connective tissue for everything outside of it—regardless of where you are in your S/4HANA journey.

Enterprises are investing heavily in AI but are struggling to move beyond pilots, redesign work, and prove ROI on Oracle platforms. This webinar shows how to operationalize AI using IBM’s Client Zero experience and Oracle technology as a repeatable blueprint...

Most organizations are still making critical business decisions on top of rigid planning cycles, fragmented data, and limited AI adoption—slowing their response to disruption and constraining innovation before it starts. Drawing on new IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) research, this session explores how finance leaders can break through those structural barriers by modernizing their operating model and establishing a connected, AI-enabled finance backbone. You will see how integrated data platforms and AI-powered forecasting can sharpen decision speed, strengthen governance, and position finance as the function guiding capital to its highest-value opportunities across the enterprise. We will walk through a practical roadmap for shifting to a dynamic, value-based finance operating model—one that aligns finance with enterprise decision bodies and elevates finance talent into true strategic partners. Using IBV findings alongside real-world practices, we will show how embedded AI, adaptive planning cadences, and agile budgeting models work together to deliver more accurate forecasts, more effective capital allocation, and faster transformation outcomes. You will leave with concrete steps to evaluate your organization's current maturity and build an execution plan that balances speed, trust, and control. Why Watch - IBV research findings reveal why traditional planning and finance structures are holding back decision speed, innovation, and AI adoption at scale - A practical blueprint for a dynamic, value-based finance operating model built on integrated data platforms and AI-enabled planning - How leading organizations are applying AI-powered forecasting and scenario modeling to improve forecast accuracy and accelerate capital deployment - Actionable guidance to assess your finance organization's maturity and prioritize near-term moves toward an AI-enabled finance backbone

Oracle customers migrating to Oracle Cloud ERP and OCI often hit tax and compliance roadblocks—from planning, lift-and-shift to OCI (e.g., Oracle E-Business Suite), modernization, to post-go-live optimization. Watch ERP Today's "Turning Transformation into Tax Advantage with Vertex" webinar, where Marc Duclos and experts tackle the “tax moment” in migrations: where risks emerge in design, data, testing, or go-live; when tax should shape processes, data models, integrations, and controls; and day-one success criteria like accuracy, auditability, visibility, speed. Learn to align tax automation with your roadmap by scoping countries, tax types, volume, controls, reporting, and mandates—so tax isn’t a blocker or afterthought. Get Vertex integration best practices for lift-and-shift vs. ERP modernization (connectivity, data mapping, error handling), avoid gotchas like timing and testing, and explore post-migration priorities: e-invoicing mandates, analytics (margin impact, audit heatmaps), AI anomaly detection (duplicates, exemptions), plus live Q&A on data issues and future-proofing. Watch now to learn how to: - Pinpoint tax risks across migration phases and influence decisions early (process, data, integrations, controls). - Define day-one cloud tax success (accuracy, auditability, visibility, speed) and beat blockers like data quality, governance. - Integrate Vertex without IT burden in lift-and-shift to OCI or Cloud ERP modernization. - Validate tax confidence (edge cases, audit trails) and monitor for continuous compliance. - Prep for e-invoicing, AI detection, scenario modeling, and tax analytics dashboards.
