Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have always promised control, structure, and efficiency. But if you ask Georg Glantschnig, VP of Dynamics 365 AI ERP at Microsoft, that’s not enough anymore.

“Practicality is the new aspiration,” Glantschnig says. “ERP can no longer just support a business process. It needs to run it.”
