If your business runs on Microsoft Dynamics GP, chances are it also runs on a handful of third-party products layered on top of it. Add-ons for AP automation, EDI, reporting, and document management have long filled the gaps in GP, and for years that model worked well. Today, those same add-ons are becoming the weak point. As software vendors modernize around cloud platforms and API-based integration, their GP editions are receiving less...

Practical Innovation for the Modern CRM In episode 6 of our Customer Engagement Reimagined: Practical Innovation for the Modern CRM, we explored Practical Innovation for the Modern CRM. This month, we turn to the service side of that relationship: what it takes to catch problems before they become complaints, and to make support feel effortless rather than reactive.

AI agents are moving from demos to daily operations, and ERP is where much of that work will happen. NetSuite has introduced a wave of agentic capabilities that can match bank transactions, manage the financial close, and answer planning questions in plain English. The appeal is obvious: less manual busy work and faster answers. The catch is that agents are only as reliable as the data they act on. An agent working...
