Edition 13 makes one thing clear: ERP intelligence is shifting from dashboards to decisions.

• Oracle is building infrastructure where AI and cloud services interoperate seamlessly.

• NetSuite and autonomous ERP models are redefining what “system of record” means.

• And the PeopleSoft ecosystem keeps pace, embedding Insights, APIs, and AI agents that transform stability into innovation.

The next frontier isn’t just more intelligent systems. It’s trusted automation: ERP that thinks with us, not just for us.
