What if the next competitive advantage in ERP isn't the ERP itself?It's how well the organisation connects technology, data, processes, and operational reality.In our latest episode of The ERP Perspective, George Collier sits down with Matthias Heitmann, Sales Director Europe and Global Partner Lead at Bosch Software and Digital Solutions, to explore where the next generation of enterprise advantage could actually come from.The conversation goes far beyond traditional ERP.Matthias explores why Global Capability Centres could become increasingly strategic in the AI era, evolving from delivery and efficiency models into hubs of expertise, innovation, and enterprise capability.We also examine what AI really needs to create meaningful business value.More data alone isn't enough.AI needs reliable information, strong processes, and crucially, the operational context to understand what is actually happening across the business.That creates an interesting challenge for ERP leaders.What happens when the information inside the ERP doesn't completely reflect operational reality?As AI becomes more involved in analysis, automation, and decision-making, closing the gap between enterprise data and real-world operations becomes increasingly important.The conversation also looks at the changing role of the CIO.With technology evolving faster than organisations can realistically predict, long-term success may depend less on selecting the perfect technology today and more on creating the architecture, skills, and organisational capabilities to continuously adapt tomorrow.ERP provides the foundation.Data and process provide the context.Operational intelligence connects technology to reality.And AI has the potential to turn all three into competitive advantage.
