🎙️ New EpiUsers Podcast Episode just droipped! Season 3, Episode 2: The SaaS Reckoning - Ownership, Lock-In, and What's Next for ERP As ERP vendors continue pushing customers toward SaaS and cloud-first strategies, organizations are facing an increasingly important question: Are we gaining innovation, or giving up control? In this episode, Bryan DeRuvo and Jose Gomez sit down with Eric Kimberling, Founder & CEO of Third Stage Consulting, to discuss the future of ERP, SaaS, AI, cloud computing, vendor lock-in, and what businesses should be considering as they plan their digital transformation strategies. We explore: ✅ The shift toward SaaS and cloud ERP ✅ Data ownership and customer control ✅ Vendor lock-in risks and long-term flexibility ✅ The true cost of SaaS ERP ✅ AI's impact on ERP innovation ✅ Platform ecosystems and low-code development ✅ Best-of-breed vs. all-in-one ERP strategies ✅ What the next generation of ERP software may look like This was a thoughtful and balanced conversation that goes beyond the typical "cloud good vs. cloud bad" debate and focuses on the strategic decisions organizations need to make for the future. A huge thank you to Eric for joining us and sharing his perspective. 🎧 Listen / Watch now: https://lnkd.in/eYK5NmK6 What do you think?
