WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailERP implementations rarely fail because of limitations in core functionality. Instead, they tend to break down in the final stages, where industry-specific workflows, company-specific processes, and complex edge cases drive extensive customization that can cost several times more than the ERP platform itself. This last mile is often where organizations lose control of project scope, budgets, and implementation timelines. AI-native ERP strategies are beginning to change this dynamic by shifting custom capabilities outside the ERP core. Rather than embedding complex customizations or relying on fragile bolt-on solutions, platforms such as AiSpecify enable organizations to build governed, auditable applications around the ERP, extending functionality while preserving data integrity, simplifying future upgrades, and maintaining a disciplined enterprise architecture.In this episode, Sam Gupta from ElevatIQ is joined by Sam Yen from Everest ERP where they discuss how to decide between configure, buy, or build and how AI Changes ERP Decisions.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/configure-buy-or-build-how-ai-changes-erp-decisions/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailSelecting a modern FP&A platform such as Drivetrain is no longer simply a budgeting or software decision. It is a strategic architectural choice that influences forecasting agility, data governance, cross-functional collaboration, and executive visibility across the finance organization. As CPM and EPM platforms continue to evolve, finance leaders must look beyond feature comparisons and evaluate underlying data models, integration strategies, workflow orchestration, and long-term operational fit. In this webinar, we explain why FP&A platform selection should be approached as a finance transformation initiative rather than a standalone technology purchase, highlighting why this perspective is critical for organizations transitioning from spreadsheet-driven planning to scalable, connected, and data-driven finance operations.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ, Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions, and Phil Coerper from Ringling Business Solutions conduct an in-depth independent review of a leading FP&A platform Drivetrain.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/drivetrain-fpa-platform-an-independent-in-depth-review/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailMake-to-stock manufacturers operate in a supply chain-driven environment where products are produced in anticipation of customer demand and held in inventory until they are sold. Unlike make-to-order businesses that manufacture only after receiving customer orders, make-to-stock organizations depend on accurate demand forecasting, inventory optimization, production planning, and efficient distribution to balance customer service levels with inventory carrying costs. These operational priorities require ERP systems with strong planning, inventory management, and supply chain capabilities, making their needs fundamentally different from those of make-to-order, engineer-to-order, and project-based manufacturers.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top make-to-stock manufacturing ERP systems In 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems.

Send us Fan MailMost ERP demonstrations are designed to showcase the software in its best possible light, but they rarely reflect the complexities organizations encounter during real-world implementation and daily operations. Carefully scripted scenarios, polished user interfaces, and curated demo data can create a false sense of confidence, leading buyers to focus on visible features while overlooking critical considerations such as integration complexity, data quality, process fit, customization requirements, and implementation risk.

Send us Fan MailERP selection is no longer just a matter of comparing features. It is fundamentally an architectural decision that influences implementation success, reporting quality, operational scalability, and long-term business performance. While many organizations continue to prioritize functional fit and rapid go-live timelines, they often underestimate the importance of application architecture, data models, integration strategies, and governance frameworks. Overlooking these foundational elements can introduce hidden risks that only become apparent after deployment, resulting in disconnected workflows, inconsistent reporting, data integrity issues, and limited opportunities for automation and future innovation.In this episode, Sam Gupta from ElevatIQ is joined by Tim Nargassans and Brian Colville from Velosio where they discuss AI & data architecture considerations in ERP selection.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/ai-data-architecture-considerations-in-erp-selection-reducing-implementation-risk/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailMake-to-order manufacturers operate with a production model in which manufacturing begins only after a confirmed customer order is received, requiring close coordination across quoting, planning, procurement, production, and fulfillment. Unlike make-to-stock organizations that build inventory in anticipation of future demand, make-to-order businesses align operations around individual customer requirements, making accurate planning and execution critical to meeting delivery commitments and controlling costs. Although make-to-order is often grouped with engineer-to-order or project manufacturing, each represents a distinct operational model with different product complexity, planning horizons, and ERP requirements, making it essential to select a system that supports the specific demands of the business.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top make-to-order manufacturing ERP systems In 2026.

Rob Has a Podcast | Survivor / Big Brother / Amazing Race - RHAP
BB28 1000th Episode Thursday Eviction Recap LIVE at RHAPCon, Week 7 Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 enters a pivotal stage as the house divides and a contentious twist throws everyone off balance. Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong lead this live recap from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, joined by a rotating panel of analysts, all reacting to the fallout from the historic 1,000th episode eviction and the uncertainty around the game-altering twist. The episode kicks off with excitement from a live crowd as Rob and Taran reflect on the show’s legacy and the emotions stirred by the 1,000th episode. Houseguests and viewers alike are rattled when the show removes the usual staples, HoH, Veto, nominations, and, most controversially, suspends the live feeds for three days. Taran speculates the “Dire Fest meets Hamster Wheel of Death” event could put icons at risk, while Rob points out the move deflates the celebratory energy. The group discusses Drew surviving by luck in the Blockbuster comp, which ultimately seals Mallory's fate as the season's memorable “1,000th episode boot.” Barrett’s late-game activation becomes a key focus, with panelists debating his loyalty, the cross-alliances, and whether his emotional Diary Room voting marks a turning point. Taran Armstrong questions production's decision to celebrate 1,000 episodes by undercutting core Big Brother gameplay with a new, unexplained twist. Rob Cesternino highlights how Drew's lucky Blockbuster win derails a flip and unintentionally sends Mallory home, despite nearly throwing the comp for Mallory's safety. Panelists discuss Barrett's switch from playing it safe with the vets to finally trying to make a move, noting both support and frustration from fans. The crowd reacts to the Cookout alliance winning best alliance and debates Janelle's and Dan's wins in the awards segment. A playful segment with an Etsy Witch (and a special homage to Rachel) helps everyone process the episode's chaotic vibes. As the house splits and the twist looms, the battle lines between icons, vets, and floaters blur. One big question remains: will the twist hand power to the right alliance, or lead to another unfair blindside? Tune in for all the tense strategy, fan reactions, and post-eviction dynamics in this milestone Big Brother 28 celebration. 00:00 Celebrating 1,000 Big Brother Episodes 04:45 Live Feeds Pulled, Fans React 07:05 Sunday's Big Brother Twist Speculation 10:23 Barrett's Vote and Fallout 13:43 Drew Survives Blockbuster Twist 16:06 Panel Discusses Barrett and Mallory 20:07 Lessons from Mallory's Eviction 23:32 The Cookout Honored on Big Brother 28:00 Winners and Awards Highlight Show 39:09 Survivor vs. Big Brother Dynamics 44:53 Blockbuster Montage and Biggest Moments 53:45 Vibes, Etsy Witch Changes Mood Never miss a minute of RHAP's extensive Big Brother coverage!

In this second “Odysseason” panel, another group of classicists discuss Christopher Nolan's new “Odyssey” film and the major changes made in his adaptation and what those changes enable, including: a traumatized, guilt-ridden Odysseus; the Aeneid-derived character Sinon reframed as Odysseus's victim; an expanded, emotional focus on Argos and a merged Argos/Telemachus recognition scene. Panelists critique the film's persistent visual and aural darkness, the diminished role of gods and humor, omissions like the Phaeacians and Penelope's bed recognition, and Nolan's war-movie/PTSD framing with parallels to Oppenheimer and Interstellar. They debate whether the Odyssey “belongs” to Greece, note Greek and Greek American reactions (including promotional and casting concerns), and consider scholarly responsibilities regarding political/ethical production issues. They emphasize using the film's popularity to spur reading Homer, teaching critical reception, supporting new adaptations, and encouraging creative retellings, including Odyssey Day on Oct. 15.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailERP projects rarely fail because of the technology itself. More often, they fail because success was never clearly defined from the outset. Broad objectives such as improving efficiency or modernizing systems may sound compelling, but they frequently result in scope creep, conflicting stakeholder expectations, and disappointing outcomes after go-live. This episode explores why poorly defined business objectives create execution risk throughout the ERP lifecycle and explains why many unsuccessful implementations are ultimately failures of planning and alignment rather than failures of the software. It also provides a practical framework for defining measurable, actionable success criteria before ERP selection and implementation begin, creating a stronger foundation for project execution and long-term business value.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ discuss how to write ERP project objectives.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/how-to-write-erp-project-objectives-from-vague-to-measurable/Questions for Panelists?
In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, host Eric Glazer brings together Medicare Advantage leaders from Drips, Johns Hopkins Health Plans, MMM Holdings, myPlace Health, and Independent Health to tackle a challenge every plan knows well: what happens when the same member has multiple open needs, and who decides what should happen first? The conversation moves beyond measure-by-measure outreach to explore how plans can coordinate action around the whole member. Panelists discuss how to weigh Stars, claims cost, risk adjustment, member context, social barriers, provider workflows, and likelihood to act when determining the next best action. Through practical examples, the group examines how plans are building shared views of the member, connecting plan and provider teams, using technology to recognize moments of influence, and giving frontline teams more room to listen and respond to what members actually need. Our guests include: Kathleen Faulk, Chief Strategy Officer, Drips Brendan Generelli, Director, Medicare Stars & Quality, Johns Hopkins Health Plans Nilda González, Vice President, Quality Management & Stars, MMM Holdings, LLC Rob Schreiber, MD, Vice President and National Medical Director of Care Model Strategy, myPlace Health, part of SCAN Group Amin Serehali, SVP, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Independent Health Together, they explore: How plans can prioritize when one member has multiple legitimate care, quality, pharmacy, and risk needs Why enterprise impact, including claims cost and risk adjustment, can change which gap deserves attention first How member barriers and personal priorities should shape the next best action How MMM Holdings uses INNOV-A MD, Smart Profile, and its Office Advantage Quality Program to connect plan and provider workflows How Independent Health built Member 360 to bring fragmented clinical, pharmacy, utilization, and member information into one actionable view How plans can use real-time "moments of influence" to reprioritize outreach when a member is most ready to act Why frontline listening can sometimes create more value than completing every item on a checklist How more deliberate targeting can improve results while using outreach resources more efficiently Whether you lead Stars, quality, risk adjustment, analytics, care management, member engagement, or Medicare strategy, this episode offers practical ideas for closing more gaps without creating more noise for members.

After a deadly "derecho" storm and flash floods slammed the midwest in early August, downing trees and power lines, tens of thousands of residents in and around Gary, Indiana have been surviving without power for 12 days and counting. According to the Associated Press, "Northern Indiana Public Service Co. said 68,000 customers were still without power as of Thursday morning, the majority of them in Lake County beside the Illinois border. The utility said it has restored power to 306,500 others since Aug. 11. But power is not expected to be fully restored until Tuesday [Aug. 25] in some places, including Gary." In this urgent episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of residents and community leaders about the ongoing blackout in Gary and the conditions that led to this avoidable national tragedy. Panelists include: GlenEva Dunham, president of the Gary Teachers Union, AFT Local 4; Freida Graves, Project Director at the faith-based nonprofit Families Anchored in Total Harmony (FAITH) CDC; and Reverend John Jackson, Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailService-centric organizations operate with business models that are fundamentally different from those of product-based companies, requiring ERP systems designed around people, projects, contracts, subscriptions, customer relationships, and financial management rather than inventory and manufacturing processes. Industries such as financial services, banking, insurance, SaaS, technology, media, consulting, and other professional services prioritize resource utilization, project profitability, recurring revenue, and customer engagement over physical supply chains. Because of these operational differences, their process requirements, reporting needs, and overall system architecture often vary significantly from those of inventory-driven businesses, making it essential to select an ERP that aligns with the unique demands of service-based operations.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top ERP Systems for service-centric industries In 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each ERP system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEczEhiG_PoQuestions for Panelists?

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in Jam Fans Forum Episode 16: This is the show in which expert panelists provide their top picks in various funk music categories. This time around, we are going to keep it hot, just be ourselves and not talk out the sides of our necks as the sensational funk and soul group Cameo is the star of this show! We're facing the giddy but daunting challenge of selecting their five all-time best songs to serve up a well-represented top 20. The goal is objectivity, but as with all the Jam Fan shows, some subjectivity is inevitable. Joining host Scott "DR GX" Goldfine are three esteemed Jam Fans: Radio personality, music historian, TV One Unsung contributor, author, actor and event host Marcus Chapman; soul & funk music historian and producer of the Soul School Television series, Calvin Lincoln; and funkologist, musician, composer, one-time bass player for the Drifters and frontman for the P-Funk Connection, Marchris Perkins. Thank you to the entire panel for participating, and for keeping the funk alive! Panelists' Picks Ground Rules: - Pick your 5 best Cameo songs - Cameo must be the credited artist; no solo works or collaborations - Panelists may only pick one song from any album. Panelists reveal their picks one at a time, explain why and allow others to react. - Picks are not shared ahead of time, so everyone experiences the reveals together. - Panelists compile alternates in case someone else names the same pick first. Thus, we will end up with 20 picks in total! - Picks may be shared in random or non-chronological order. - Picks may be based more on personal preference than historical context. Go to https://wp.me/p77e8T-3Pq to listen to and buy this episode's 20 top Cameo songs. Be sure to like, comment, share and subscribe – and let us know other categories you would like to see covered. Also, share your own choices for the 5 Cameo Songs of All Time. RECORDED MAY 2026 LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

In her 2001 masterwork Nickel and Dimed, the late Barbara Ehrenreich went undercover to report on the daily realities working people in America face trying to get by on minimum-wage. After working as a housekeeper, a nursing aide, a home cleaner, a server, and more, Ehrenreich wrote that "The first thing I discovered is that no job, no matter how lowly, is truly 'unskilled.'" It is difficult to overstate the impact that Ehrenreich's book and body of work have had on US culture and working-class politics over the last 25 years, and the enduring relevance of her work today. In this special episode of Working People, we commemorate the anniversary of Nickel and Dimed and celebrate the life and legacy of Ehrenreich by speaking with a panel of guests who are carrying on that legacy today. Panelists include: Deirdre English, coauthor of three books with Barbara Ehrenreich, former editor in chief of Mother Jones, and a former director of the Magazine Center at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley; Alissa Quart, editorial director of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and author of seven books, most recently Bootstrapped: Liberating Ourselves from the American Dream; and Ann Larson, author of Cleanup on Aisle Five: Essential Work, Poverty Wages, and the View from Behind the Supermarket Register and a fellow with the Economic Hardship Reporting Project.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailFinance organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver faster insights and support better decision-making, yet many still depend on fragmented systems, manual reconciliations, and static reporting that prolong month-end close cycles and delay financial visibility. As a result, AI-native ERP represents more than a technology upgrade—it fundamentally changes how finance teams operate, report, and scale. In this episode, we explore what AI-native ERP reporting looks like in practice, including capabilities such as multi-entity consolidation, multi-currency reporting, custom financial dimensions, and real-time drill-down to transaction-level detail. We also examine how AI agents are streamlining the financial close by automating accrual drafts, identifying missing journal entries, and orchestrating structured close activities, helping finance teams reduce manual effort while improving accuracy and accelerating reporting.In this episode, Sam Gupta from ElevatIQ is joined by Hank Sun from Campfire where they discuss how Campfire AI-Native ERP can eliminate the month-end grind and automate finance.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/campfire-ai-native-erp-how-it-eliminates-the-month-end-grind-and-automates-finance/Questions for Panelists?

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailMany growing eCommerce businesses reach a point where their existing software can no longer keep pace with increasing operational complexity. Lightweight applications often lack the capabilities needed to support higher order volumes, expanding sales channels, and more sophisticated inventory and fulfillment requirements, while traditional ERP systems can be overly complex, costly, and difficult to implement. As the business scales, disconnected systems, manual processes, and fragmented data become increasingly common, reducing visibility across operations and making it harder to respond quickly to customer demand. The result is slower decision-making, operational inefficiencies, and shrinking margins at a stage when agility and scalability are essential for continued growth.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ, Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions, and Phil Coerper from Ringling Business Solutions conduct an in-depth independent review of a leading FP&A platform Fulfil.IO.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/fulfil-io-ai-powered-ecommerce-operations-platform-review-independent-in-depth/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailProduct-centric organizations operate in an environment where inventory, supply chain execution, and operational efficiency directly influence profitability. Unlike service-based businesses, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and other inventory-driven companies require an ERP that tightly connects procurement, production, warehousing, planning, logistics, and finance into a single operational framework. Real-time visibility into inventory, costs, and business performance is essential for controlling margins, meeting customer expectations, and adapting to demand fluctuations. Choosing an ERP without fully accounting for these operational realities often results in fragmented processes, limited visibility, unnecessary customization, and costly workarounds that hinder long-term growth.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top ERP Systems for product-centric industries In 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each ERP system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1FQNqyHNQ4Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailManufacturers are under increasing pressure to adopt AI, yet many find it difficult to distinguish practical opportunities from market hype. In this webinar, we explore what AI actually looks like within a manufacturing ERP environment and where it can deliver measurable business value. We address common misconceptions, including the belief that AI requires replacing an existing ERP system, investing in enterprise-scale budgets, or operating as a Tier 1 manufacturer. Instead, attendees will learn how AI can enhance their current ERP platform by leveraging existing operational data to improve decision-making, automate routine processes, and increase overall business efficiency.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/ai-for-manufacturers-practical-erp-use-cases-without-a-costly-system-reset/Questions for Panelists?
In this episode of the Finovate podcast, host Greg welcomes back listeners after a summer break and introduces Ning Duong, President and CEO of Financial Center First Credit Union in Indianapolis, Indiana. Ning shares her impressive 25-year journey in financial services, which began unexpectedly when she took a job at a mega bank to pay for nursing school tuition. What started as a temporary position evolved into a passionate career dedicated to helping people with their financial needs. Now leading Financial Center's 60,000 members, Ning brings her people-process-technology leadership philosophy to guide the credit union's strategic direction.Six months into her tenure, Ning discusses her priorities and approach to technology implementation at Financial Center. She emphasizes the importance of enhancing member experience through strategic use of existing technology, particularly focusing on consumer and mortgage lending journeys. The credit union has made significant strides in improving loan turnaround times and communication processes, recognizing that members compare their banking experiences to world-class services like Amazon. Ning highlights the successful implementation of "Ella," an internal chatbot that leverages AI to help team members quickly access policies and procedures, ultimately enabling them to serve members more efficiently. However, she maintains a balanced perspective on AI adoption, advocating for human judgment in critical areas like recruiting, where she personally reviews applications for key positions like the CIO role.The conversation concludes with valuable insights for fintech companies looking to partner with credit unions. Ning stresses the importance of understanding each credit union's unique strategy and member base before approaching executives with sales pitches. She emphasizes that credit unions need strategic partners, not just vendors, and warns against generic presentations that don't align with the institution's specific goals. Following a recent robust board planning session, Financial Center has established clear strategic pillars, identified their target member profile, and defined key performance indicators for the next three years, with technology recognized as an essential enabler rather than a standalone priority.More info:Financial Center First Credit Union: https://www.fcfcu.com/ ; https://www.linkedin.com/company/financial-center/Ning Duong: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ning-duong-cude-icude-cce-0a19449b/Greg Palmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbpalmer/Finovate: https://www.finovate.com; https://www.linkedin.com/company/finovate-conference-series/FinovateFall: https://informaconnect.com/finovatefall/#Finovate #FinovateFall #fintech #financialinstitutions #creditunions #AI #modernization #technology #strategy #fintechstrategy #CU #digitaladoption #podcast #fintechpodcast #financialservices #innovation #digitraltransformation #fintech #finserv
Recorded live at FreedomFest 2026 in Las Vegas. Lou Perez moderates a panel on politics, comedy, and the death of late night TV.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailMost ERP initiatives struggle not because of technology limitations but because of misalignment among business stakeholders, IT, and software vendors. Organizations often move too quickly into product demonstrations without establishing structured requirements, assuming the software will naturally adapt to their processes. This webinar explores how a well-designed ERP request for proposal (RFP) serves as a strategic cost-control tool rather than a procurement formality. By creating clear requirements, reducing ambiguity, and establishing a shared framework for evaluation, a disciplined RFP process helps organizations avoid costly implementation mistakes and make more informed ERP investment decisions.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/erp-rfp-how-to-save-30-on-erp-selection-costs/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailMany manufacturers relying on QuickBooks and spreadsheets believe their current systems are sufficient until growth begins to expose underlying operational constraints. Inventory inaccuracies increase, purchasing becomes more reactive, and disconnected field service and billing processes create inefficiencies that slow the business. Over time, these issues form an invisible barrier to scale, often before leadership identifies fragmented systems as the root cause. This session examines the operational and financial costs of remaining on disconnected tools and provides practical insights into recognizing when it is time to transition to a more integrated business platform.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/outgrowing-quickbooks-when-manufacturers-must-move-to-erp/Questions for Panelists?
