Send us Fan MailSelecting a modern FP&A platform is no longer simply a budgeting or reporting decision—it is a strategic architecture choice that shapes how finance organizations operate, collaborate, and scale. Today's FP&A and broader CPM/EPM platforms directly influence forecasting speed, executive visibility, scenario modeling, data governance, and cross-functional decision-making across the enterprise. As a result, finance leaders must evaluate far more than dashboards and planning features alone. They must assess the underlying data architecture, integration depth with ERP and operational systems, scalability across business units, workflow flexibility, and the platform's alignment with the organization's long-term operating model. In many cases, the wrong architectural decision creates fragmented planning processes, inconsistent metrics, and governance challenges that limit finance's ability to function as a strategic business partner.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 Aleph.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/aleph-an-independent-in-depth-review/Questions for Panelists?

This panel will explore the evolving use of the Congressional Review Act, with particular attention to its application in recent high-profile regulatory contexts. Panelists will examine Congress’s recent use of the Congressional Review Act to nullify California Clean Air Act waivers—an action that is both a significant environmental policy development and a potential turning point in congressional practice.Panelists will consider key institutional and procedural questions raised by the recent congressional activity, including what the use of Senate procedural tools reveals about internal chamber rules and potential implications for the filibuster and legislative practice more generally.The panel will also examine emerging legislative strategies in employing the Congressional Review Act, including innovative applications to a wider range of agency actions, and consider how courts may approach judicial review in this evolving landscape. Through these lenses, the discussion aims to provide a deeper understanding of the Congressional Review Act’s role at the intersection of administrative law, congressional procedure, and separation of powers.

Send us Fan MailDistribution-centric ERP systems represent one of the most operationally diverse categories in enterprise software, making ERP evaluation far more complex than many organizations initially expect. Before reviewing the top distribution ERP systems in 2026, it is critical to understand that distribution extends well beyond traditional wholesale operations. Many distribution businesses also manage light manufacturing, assembly, kitting, fabrication, ecommerce fulfillment, or retail processes, yet their primary operational complexity revolves around inventory movement, procurement, warehousing, logistics, fulfillment, and multi-channel coordination. This category spans a broad range of industries and company sizes, including industrial supply, HVAC, automotive, medical devices, food and beverage, construction supply chains, and ecommerce-driven businesses. Consequently, ERP systems designed for distribution vary significantly in their warehouse models, inventory strategies, fulfillment capabilities, pricing structures, and supply chain workflows, making business-model alignment far more important than generic feature comparisons alone.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top distribution ERP systems 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=GA4XdEACxZoRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-distribution-erp-systems/Questions for Panelists?

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in Jam Fans Forum Episode 13: This is the show in which expert panelists provide their top picks in various funk and soul music categories. This time around, we are venturing into the mystique and mastery of one of the greatest funk, soul and pop groups of all time – Earth, Wind & Fire! We're taking on the tall task of selecting their 5 all-time best songs to produce a definitive top 20. While the goal is objectivity, as with all the Jam Fan shows, some subjectivity is inevitable. That's what makes this so much of a stone-cold gas! Joining host Scott "DR GX" Goldfine are three esteemed Jam Fans: lifelong music devotee, host of the FJS (Funky, Jazzy and Smooth) with KD radio show, who's also a legal expert, Karl A. Doss; radio personality, music historian, TV One Unsung contributor, author and actor, Marcus Chapman; and soul & funk music historian and producer of the Soul School Television series Calvin Lincoln. Thanks to all of them for keeping the funk alive!  Panelists' Picks Ground Rules: - Pick your 5 best Earth, Wind and Fire songs - EWF has to be the credited artist; no solo works or collaborations - 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-3NG to listen to and buy this episode's 20 top Earth, Wind and Fire songs.  Be sure to like, comment, share and subscribe – and let us know other categories you would like to see covered.

Send us Fan MailERP initiatives frequently fail because organizations confuse ERP selection with ERP readiness. Selecting an ERP system is primarily a procurement and evaluation exercise, while ERP readiness is a far more complex organizational transformation involving process alignment, governance, data discipline, and executive consensus. ERP systems do not repair broken workflows, resolve ownership conflicts, or clean inconsistent master data—they simply automate and enforce whatever structure already exists. Unfortunately, many organizations develop a false sense of confidence once software is selected, assuming the implementation partner or vendor will absorb integration complexity and operational gaps. In reality, ERP readiness is what determines long-term success. It defines the target operating model, clarifies process accountability, strengthens data governance, and aligns stakeholders before implementation risk compounds. While ERP selection feels tactical and visible, ERP readiness requires strategic intent, organizational discipline, and executive commitment to prevent adoption failures, financial overruns, and architectural misalignment.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/erp-readiness-vs-erp-selection-selecting-an-erp-will-not-make-you-ready/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailManufacturing ERP remains one of the broadest and most misunderstood categories in enterprise software. Before evaluating the top manufacturing ERP systems in 2026, organizations must first understand that manufacturing is not a single industry—it is a collection of highly specialized micro-verticals with unique operational, engineering, compliance, and supply chain requirements. Consequently, manufacturing ERP platforms differ significantly in their process models, data architectures, and industry alignment. Some systems are designed to support multiple manufacturing modes through broad and flexible capabilities, while others are purpose-built for highly specific operational environments. This makes context critically important when comparing ERP systems, especially across different company sizes, business models, and levels of manufacturing complexity.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top manufacturing ERP systems 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=gLYsM4ExpD8Read: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-manufacturing-erp-systems/Questions for Panelists?

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 2:30 PM Session Join a seasoned panel of speakers including Todd, John, Denny, Howard, and references to Brother Wayne Jackson, Brother Caleb Colley, O'Connor, Mike, with Sam Wilkins closing in prayer, as they tackle difficult questions from the book of Genesis. This episode investigates foundational topics that stretch from the opening words of Scripture to the unfolding scheme of redemption. First, the panel examines how literally we should read the days of creation in Genesis 1. Speakers discuss the Hebrew term yom, Exodus 20:11, arguments for a 24‑hour day reading, and how that view interacts with science and young‑earth apologetics. They address the perception that literal biblical faith opposes science and point listeners to resources and evidence used by creationist scholars. Next, the conversation moves to troubling narratives of judgment in Genesis—such as the global flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah—and how these events relate to God's holiness, justice, love, and wrath. Panelists unpack why divine judgment is not arbitrary, emphasize God's patience and long‑suffering (including Noah's 120 years of warning), and explain how love and righteous anger can coexist. The discussion then focuses on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and whether God set humanity up to fail. Panelists outline four purposes of the tree: enabling genuine devotion, inviting trust, establishing moral boundaries, and defining God's role as Lawgiver. They argue the tree provides a real context for moral freedom rather than a trap. Listeners will also hear reflections on Genesis as a record of human failure alongside divine faithfulness. Using examples like Cain and Abel, Abraham's struggles, Jacob's deception, and Joseph's long wait, the panel shows how Genesis portrays flawed people candidly while demonstrating God's covenantal loyalty and redemptive work through imperfect agents. Finally, the episode addresses how to maintain trust in God's promises when fulfillment is delayed. Speakers reflect on biblical timeframes (Abraham, Joseph), New Testament perspectives (2 Peter), and practical pastoral insights for patience and spiritual growth during waiting seasons. Practical takeaways include ways to engage skeptics respectfully, resources for further study, and pastoral encouragement that Genesis aims to reveal God's character—both his justice and his mercy—while inviting listeners into deeper trust. The session closes with a prayer from Sam Wilkins and information about follow‑up sessions and worship led by Andy Baker. Duration 42:08

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Edmentum.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.Today's students cannot afford a college and career readiness system that starts too late, remains siloed for core academics, or treats tangible postsecondary success planning as an add-on. Too often, districts are asking students to navigate a future that schools have not fully prepared them to enter. The challenge is not whether students should be college ready or career ready; it is whether K–12 systems are giving every learner the academic foundation, durable skills, and real-world exposure they need to build a future that fits.In this edWeb podcast, explore what it takes to move from fragmented initiatives to a comprehensive college and career readiness strategy that works across K–12. Panelists share practical examples from a district perspective and discuss how to connect core curricula, CTE, and durable skills into a coherent student experience. In addition, they examine how reading, math, and other foundational skills can be embedded into career-connected learning, so students are not just informed about their options, but prepared to pursue them.This conversation also tackles the policy and funding realities shaping the work. State and district leaders are under growing pressure to align programs with evolving accountability systems, workforce priorities, and college access expectations. Listeners learn how to build local programs that advance state objectives, how to design implementation that is both scalable and durable, and how to enroll and excite learners.Key learning outcomes:Understand the essential elements of a comprehensive college and career readiness program across K–12Learn how to integrate core academics, CTE, and durable skills into a connected and relevant student pathwayIdentify strategies to influence key stakeholders and align local implementation with state policy, funding, and accountability goalsThis edWeb podcast is of interest to K–12 school leaders, district leaders, education technology leaders, school counselors, and CTE directors.EdmentumCreating a world where educators succeed and students thrive, everywhere learning occursDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The Alliance for Civics in the Academy hosts "Can Civic Education be Liberal?" with Melinda Zook, Joseph Knippenberg, Benjamin Storey, and Dan Edelstein on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 9:00–10:00 a.m. PT. Civic education and liberal education are often treated as complementary, but their aims can diverge in important ways. This webinar explores how efforts to prepare students for democratic citizenship intersect with, and at times strain against, the broader aims of liberal education, including open inquiry, intellectual autonomy, and critical skepticism. Panelists will consider how institutions can navigate these tensions while advancing a coherent vision of civic learning in higher education.

A 5-year-old location-based game just 5x'd its downloads. There were no new creatives. No new geos. No marketing push. Just one regional event that changed how the game actually works in Taiwan.We break down Pikmin Bloom by Niantic — the quiet survivor of the post-Pokemon-Go location-based wave that everyone forgot about, but which has been quietly making $30-50M/month for years and just spiked dramatically in early 2026. The conversation covers the Pikmin IP history, the game's walking-based resource-conversion mechanics, why 58% of revenue comes from Japan, the brutal scale comparison to Pokemon Go ($85M in 5 years vs $75M in 30 days), and the most interesting product story of the episode: Niantic's regional experiment in Taiwan where they moved mushroom locations weekly from November to February, driving a 5x download spike that's still scaling.The takeaway isn't about Pikmin specifically. It's about what product-driven UA looks like when creative-led UA stops moving the needle.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Cold open — Pikmin Bloom is scaling, why?03:16 Pikmin history lesson — Nintendo IP, RTS origins06:16 The actual game: walking, flowers, Pikmin work for you13:01 The 5x download spike and Taiwan's surprise dominance14:53 The brutal comparison — Pikmin Bloom vs Pokemon Go17:01 The Japan IP rule: everything Nintendo touches is sacred24:12 The Niantic Taiwan experiment that changed everything━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Send us Fan MailProfit erosion in batch and process manufacturing rarely happens suddenly; it accumulates over time through material variability, yield loss, production inefficiencies, excess inventory, and disconnected systems—issues that quietly drain cash, especially in sectors like food and beverage, where small variances can have an outsized financial impact. This webinar outlines four practical levers manufacturers can use to unlock hidden cash without raising prices or reducing headcount, focusing on tighter control of raw material costs, improved real-time production visibility, and the elimination of operational bottlenecks. It also demonstrates how purpose-built ERP solutions such as ECI Deacom enable scalable, end-to-end visibility across production, inventory, and financials, allowing organizations to detect margin leakage earlier and respond proactively. By shifting from reactive to data-driven decision-making, manufacturers can improve cash flow, enhance operational efficiency, and protect profitability across batch and process environments.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/batch-and-process-manufacturing-unlock-hidden-cash-in-your-business/Questions for Panelists?

The options tape is noisy. Intraday volatility cycles, 0DTE reflexes, ETF-driven options growth, and increasingly granular expiration schedules are reshaping how liquidity forms, migrates, and occasionally disappears. This session examines where activity is truly concentrating across index and single-stock products, including the continued expansion of daily expirations into select equities, and how that evolution is influencing spreads, hedging behavior, market-maker capacity, and risk transfer. Panelists will explore how product design is steering flow through defined outcome ETFs, single-stock ETFs, cash-settled index expansion, and targeted daily expirations and discuss what these structural shifts imply for market stability, education, and liquidity quality over the next 12–24 months.

Send us Fan MailRecent announcements across the enterprise software landscape highlight an accelerating convergence of AI, integration, and industry-specific innovation as core pillars of modern enterprise architecture. Oracle continues to expand its footprint with new capabilities across financial services, process manufacturing, and AI agents embedded within Oracle Fusion Cloud, reinforcing the shift toward intelligent, industry-aware ERP ecosystems. At the same time, Sage is advancing AI-driven enhancements in Sage X3, while NetSuite is strengthening composability through its new integration platform. Beyond core ERP, ecosystem players such as ActiveCampaign, Bombora, and Omilia are embedding intelligence into customer engagement and data workflows, while emerging innovators like Fibr AI attract funding to push experimentation at the edge. Strategic partnerships, including QAD and Tata Consultancy Services, further signal the importance of services-led transformation. Collectively, these moves reflect a broader structural trend: enterprise platforms are evolving into tightly integrated, AI-augmented ecosystems where domain specialization, real-time intelligence, and composable architectures define competitive advantage.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds, including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendor. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtcFOMAANWMQuestions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailLarge enterprises approach ERP through a fundamentally different lens, where the system serves not as a tool for day-to-day execution but as a coordination layer for a complex, global ecosystem spanning multiple countries, regulatory regimes, and business models. Typically starting at $1 billion in revenue and extending well beyond $5 billion, these organizations prioritize financial consolidation, governance, and compliance at scale, often adopting best-of-breed or two-tier ERP strategies to balance centralized financial control with decentralized operational flexibility. Implementation timelines are long and capital-intensive, frequently spanning several years, as enterprises navigate acquisitions, divestitures, and evolving operating models. In this context, ERP systems must support deep multi-entity structures, localization requirements, and intercompany complexity without forcing rigid standardization across all business units. This is why evaluating ERP for large enterprises requires an architectural perspective that aligns system design with organizational scale, and why this 2026 list focuses on solutions built for global resilience—helping leaders reduce long-term implementation risk while enabling continuous transformation across the enterprise.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top large company ERP 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=um_l8xeAysIRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/large-company-erp/Questions for Panelists?

The public continues to question the effectiveness of homelessness and addictions agencies and programs- and none is under more scrutiny than the NDP's plan for a safe consumption site in North Logan. Episode 21 has a recap of the panel discussion held Tuesday night and audio of presentations made by Coun. Sherri Rollins and the federal health critic, Manitoba MP Dan Mazier.Part 1- Two columns this week provided readers of the Winnipeg Sun with details about A) the financial cliff that Siloam Mission is approaching: “When you kick out Jesus, you kick out his flock ofgivers,” a church-going reader said. “I know some of the former workers who moved on to other charitable work.”Siloam Mission went woke, now going brokeB) the community-organized panel discussion about operating plans for a drug user site at 366 Henry Avenue:“The deflection I witnessed from city representatives was appalling,” said a Point Douglas homeowner. “There's clearly a responsibility for all levels of government, andthe nuances and the intricacies were just lost on so many.”Panelists provide evidence that safe consumptionsites unsafe, ineffective 18.40 Part 2- Marty notes the demographics of the crowd, which drew concerned residents and property owners with personal experience with homeless encampments and the effects of drug addiction and crime on their community. From North and South Point Douglas, the East Exchange, North Logan, Centennial, Downtown, and Fort Rouge, they outflanked the SCS "harm reduction" supporters by an 80-20 margin. Among those watching and listening was Independent MLA Mark Wasilyw, and many PC MLAs; not there, were any representatives of Wab Kinew's NDP government that is ramming the drug use site through to fulfill his election promise.23.50 - Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre CEO Monica Cyr tried to reassure the public. She said new medical and treatment programs are included in the building renovations, and the SCS will operate out of a vehicle parked on the lot until next February. She later admitted there was good reason to expand the area where security patrols and clean-up had been proposed in their "Good Neighbour" policy. We explain why that tardy realization actually lost her ground with stakeholders. 28.50- Audio of Coun. Sherri Rollins (7 min.): She spoke of the inadequate public consultation process undermining the residents, funding shortfalls affecting mental health and police services, the existing danger in the district, and the sight of drugs being used all over the streets. "Winnipeg cannot be absorbing the consequences of a provincial system that has not evolved or matured."You'll hear how later in the meeting Rollins drew a negative reaction from ward stakeholders to her contention that the city had no ability to regulate public safety mitigation for the site, even though the Health Canada rules say otherwise. 40.45 Part 3- Audio of CPC MP Dan Mazier (9 min.): His eye-opening remarks included what an addict told him about why 'harm reduction' giveaways discourage seeking treatment; taking on the left-wing lingo of saying there is a way to use fentanyl and hard drugs 'safely'; "imaginary buffer zones" and how a daycare in Ottawa was forced to close due to disorder and filth; and how Health Canada uses a 'rubber stamp' - and leaves it to neighborhoods to fight for their survival."Approving a place for people can consume drugs is the easiest thing a politician can do. It avoids the difficult serious expensive work of building real treatment and real recovery pathways. Instead it keeps people addicted, dependent and cycling through the same revolving door."Mazier predicted after this one, more sites would open, and then the radical left will demand the "BC roadmap" for safe supply and decriminalization - even though BC has reversed course.Marty provides more analysis to close the episode.****To sponsor TGCTS podcasts and support the Season 7 Funding Drive- email martygoldlive@gmail.com

Send us Fan MailEnterprise software is undergoing a structural transformation as AI-native ERP platforms redefine how organizations manage financial control, operational orchestration, and decision-making by embedding intelligence directly into the transactional core rather than relying on rigid workflows and manual inputs. This webinar provides an independent, in-depth review of Everest ERP, examining its AI-first architecture, automation capabilities, and data orchestration framework while comparing it against both legacy ERP systems and emerging AI-native alternatives. The focus goes beyond surface-level features to evaluate structural dimensions such as scalability, governance, financial automation, and operational control—areas that increasingly determine long-term success. By connecting these capabilities to real-world ERP selection decisions, the session equips leaders with a clear understanding of AI-native readiness, where these platforms deliver the most strategic value, and how to avoid common pitfalls driven by outdated evaluation frameworks, ultimately enabling faster, more confident, and future-ready ERP decisions.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 AI-native platform Everest ERP.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/everest-erp-an-independent-in-depth-review/Questions for Panelists?

After 14 months of fruitless contract negotiations with the Harvard University administration, over 4,000 workers represented by the Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU-UAW Local 5118) walked off the job on an indefinite strike on April 21. According to the union, "Graduate student workers will suspend teaching and research labor until Harvard's bargaining team takes substantive action in addressing the union's key issues: pay that keeps pace with the rising cost of living, recourse for harassment and discrimination, support for non-citizen students, protections for academic freedom, and 'fair share fees' to equitably distribute the expenses of union representation, among others." In this episode of Working People, we speak with three striking graduate student workers about the issues at the center of this strike, and about what it's like to live, work, and strike at the country's richest university amid political attacks from the federal government, scandals connecting high-ranking Harvard officials to Jeffrey Epstein, and a nationwide cost-of-living crisis.  Panelists include: Sara Speller, a fifth-year PhD student in the Music Department at Harvard and president of the Harvard Graduate Students Union; Zoë Feder, a seventh-year PhD student in the program in Biological & Biomedical Sciences at Harvard Medical School and a research assistant in the Microbiology Department; and Jacob Wolf, a third-year PhD student and Teaching Fellow in the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  Additional links/info:  Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU-UAW Local 5118) website, Facebook page, X/Twitter page, TikTok, and Instagram Harvard Graduate Students Union Strike Update/FAQ Zine Lydialyle Gibson, Harvard Magazine, "Harvard graduate student workers strike" Noah A.

Send us Fan MailRecent developments across the enterprise software landscape underscore a dual narrative of rapid AI-driven innovation alongside growing skepticism around how value is measured and delivered. Critiques such as the limited practical relevance of metrics like AWU from Salesforce highlight the disconnect that can emerge between vendor messaging and CIO priorities, even as the broader ecosystem accelerates toward agentic and automated capabilities. Companies like Incubeta and Intentsify are expanding data-driven and agentic offerings, while Klaviyo integrates with ChatGPT to embed conversational intelligence into marketing workflows. Enterprise application vendors are also advancing domain-specific innovation, with Unanet targeting GovCon growth automation, Aptean enhancing routing intelligence, and Oracle and Sage introducing AI-driven enhancements across financial services and ERP platforms such as Sage X3. Meanwhile, partnerships like Cognizant with Uniphore and acquisitions such as ActiveCampaign acquiring Feedback Intelligence reinforce a broader trend: enterprise systems are increasingly converging around AI-infused automation, but buyers must remain vigilant in distinguishing substantive capabilities from surface-level innovation narratives.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Young commentator Adam Mockler recently confronted CNN's Scott Jennings on live television, reminding the pundit that he and his allies sold the Iraq war with the exact same arguments—WMDs, terror state, mushroom clouds—that they are now using to justify the Iran war, and that Jennings previously promised the war would last four to six weeks while it is now failing with no political concessions and Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Jennings became visibly enraged, falsely claiming Mockler had a finger in his face and calling him "ungrateful to American service personnel," while mocking his age and telling him to get "life experience" before having an opinion.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point to a Glenn Greenwald tweet noting that what truly enraged Jennings was not a finger but the fact that Mockler violated the "implicit self-protective taboo" in Washington against reminding war promoters that they were catastrophically wrong about Iraq. They conclude that the exchange perfectly illustrates why young people don't trust establishment media and war hawks, noting that Iran has killed zero Americans in 47 years while the US has spent trillions on failed Middle East wars that have made Americans less safe. Plus segments on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's closed-door testimony about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and disuputed claims about how long Iran can withstand a US blockade. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Scott Ritter! And a phone call from JD Vance and Benjamin Netanyahu!

Send us Fan MailMid-sized businesses operate in a distinctly more complex ERP environment than startups or small companies, where growth introduces multi-entity structures, geographic expansion, and increasingly formalized processes that elevate ERP from a visibility tool to a coordination layer across the enterprise. Typically spanning $100 million to $1 billion in revenue, this segment is far from uniform—lower mid-market organizations still prioritize simplicity and cost control, while upper mid-market firms begin to mirror large enterprises with needs such as global consolidation, intercompany accounting, and stricter compliance requirements. Across this spectrum, ERP systems must support shared services models, deeper intercompany relationships, and scalable governance without sacrificing flexibility for continued growth. This is why evaluating ERP for mid-sized businesses requires an architectural lens that balances operational depth with organizational scale, and why this 2026 list focuses on solutions purpose-built for the mid-market—helping executives navigate the transition with a structured framework that minimizes implementation risk while aligning systems with evolving business complexity.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top mid-sized business ERP in 2026.

After members of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh won their strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in late 2025, which had lasted for over 3 years, they were notified in January that the paper's wealthy owners, the Block family and Block Communications Inc., were shutting down operations. Then, in a stunning turn of events, the Post-Gazette was purchased in April by the Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism, which also owns The Banner in Baltimore, MD. While Post-Gazette workers were cautiously optimistic about the news, the union learned last week that the Venetoulis Institute is cutting at least 40 percent of its staff, including 80 percent of the union workers who participated in the recently ended strike.  In this episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of union members and former Post-Gazette employees about what will happen to them and their coworkers, to the Post-Gazette itself, and to journalism in the Steel City. Panelists include: Andrew Goldstein, a now-former Post-Gazette education reporter and still-acting president of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh; Helen Fallon, a longtime copyeditor for the Post-Gazette and professor emerita at Point Park University in Pittsburgh; and Erin Hebert, a now-former copyeditor and designer for the Post-Gazette and First Vice President of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh.

Send us Fan MailManufacturers continue to face persistent challenges in sales and inventory forecasting due to fragmented data spread across ERP, CRM, and operational systems, leading to inconsistent inputs and downstream consequences such as excess inventory, stockouts, cash-flow strain, and missed revenue opportunities. This webinar addresses these issues through a practical, real-world use case, demonstrating how disciplined processes and system alignment can significantly improve forecasting accuracy. It showcases how an Algorithm customer leveraged Acumatica in combination with DataSelf to unify disparate data into a single source of truth, eliminating reliance on spreadsheets and enabling scalable, system-driven forecasting. More importantly, the session illustrates how BI-powered forecasting transforms executive decision-making—from reactive variance analysis to proactive, forward-looking planning—allowing leaders to optimize inventory levels, reduce carrying costs, and improve service outcomes, positioning forecasting not merely as a reporting function but as a strategic capability grounded in clean data and tightly integrated systems.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/accurate-forecasting-in-manufacturing-a-customer-case-study-with-erp-and-bi/Questions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailRecent announcements across the enterprise software ecosystem highlight a clear pivot toward agentic AI, ecosystem orchestration, and embedded intelligence within core business platforms. Salesforce is advancing this shift with MuleSoft Agent Fabric, enabling automated agent discovery, while ServiceNow is doubling down through expanded partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic to operationalize AI agents in mission-critical workflows. Strategic collaborations such as Cognizant partnering with Typeface and Uniphore further reinforce the growing importance of composable AI ecosystems. Meanwhile, application-layer innovation is accelerating, with Simpro Group expanding its AI-first platform via acquisition, Klaviyo integrating with ChatGPT, and Unanet and Aptean introducing automation and routing capabilities tailored to vertical use cases. At the same time, data and demand-generation players like Intentsify and Incubeta are embedding agentic capabilities into their offerings, collectively signaling a broader transformation: enterprise platforms are rapidly evolving into interconnected, AI-native environments where intelligent agents, data, and workflows operate as a unified system rather than siloed functions.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds, including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendor. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_TyTBrq0ccQuestions for Panelists?

Send us Fan MailSmall businesses represent a critical transition point in the ERP journey, where the focus shifts from fragmented tools and experimentation to operational consistency, financial control, and cross-functional visibility. Typically in the $10 to $100 million revenue range, these organizations bring more process maturity and functional leadership than startups, yet still operate within meaningful constraints—particularly around budgets, customization capacity, and internal technical expertise. As a result, they tend to favor suite-centric ERP systems with tightly integrated capabilities across finance, inventory, and operations, reducing reliance on complex integrations and costly development. At this stage, ERP is about establishing repeatable, scalable processes that eliminate bottlenecks without introducing unnecessary complexity. This is why evaluating ERP for small businesses requires a balanced lens—prioritizing ease of implementation, total cost of ownership, and functional breadth over deep specialization—helping leaders avoid overengineering their stack while selecting a system that delivers immediate value and supports the next phase of growth.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top ERP systems for small businesses 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=iswWCJhryy0Read: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/erp-systems-for-small-business/Questions for Panelists?

Inspired by January's mass strike against ICE terror in Minnesota, a vast coalition of labor unions, democratic organizations, and community groups are organizing a nationwide economic blackout on Friday, May 1, International Workers Day. "May Day Strong events are being planned across the US," Michael Sainato reports at The Guardian, "with organizers calling for 'no school, no work, no shopping,' in protest of government policies they say put billionaires' needs above those of workers."  In this episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of guests who are all involved in organizing May Day events this week from Philadelphia to Chicago to Iowa. Panelists include: Jana Korn, who currently serves as the chief of staff for the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO, and also serves on the board of Philadelphia Jobs with Justice; Jeff Kurtz, a retired locomotive engineer and union officer who also served as a state representative in the Iowa House of Representatives; and John Emiliano, a healthcare worker and organizer in Chicago with the Tahanan Center and Tanggol Migrante, a grassroots Filipino migrant defense network.
