Oracle just committed $50 billion to AI infrastructure. Fusion and S/4HANA implementations are failing at scale, costing hundreds of millions and 3-5 years. And your finance team is still closing the books ten days after the month ends, running AI models on data that's already out of date.

Your ERP is broken. And the next one will be too, unless the architecture changes.

The problem isn't the vendor. It's what they all share: aggregated reporting, batch processing, monthly cycles, manual reconciliation. Built for a world that no longer exists. The ERP you choose today will run your finance for the next decade.

There's a different way to run finance. Not in five years, after the next ERP migration. Now, in weeks.

In this session, Ben Catterall and Ryan da Rocha unpack where Finance ERPs are breaking, what your finance architecture needs to look like in the AI age, and exactly how to get there without starting over.

You’ll leave knowing:

  • Why legacy ERP architecture makes zero-day close, real financial intelligence, and AI impossible – not difficult, impossible

  • What finance architecture needs to look like in 2026 (and beyond)

  • What the organisations getting this right are doing differently

  • How to modernise your finance layer without a multi-year transformation
