Hi and welcome to episode 210 of The ERP Minute. I’m your host, Charlie DeCurtis.
SAP kicked off the week announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. Cloud and software revenue was up 8% to around 8.02 billion Euro, with Cloud revenue accounting for about 5.29 billion Euros, an increase of 22%. Total revenue was about 9.08 billion Euros, up 7%, backed by a current cloud backlog of about 18.84 billion Euros. SAP continues to display steady growth quarter after quarter, with its cloud presence leading the charge.
In other news, CMiC made a landmark announcement, unveiling NEXUS, their AI-powered construction ERP. With natural language processing, construction intelligence, and agent-driven automation, NEXUS elevates CMiC’s ERP from a software platform to an intelligent business partner. Three core advantages outlined in the release were improved cost control and data integrity, enhanced decision-making and risk management, and accelerated project delivery. Industry specialized AI is taking shape and will make a huge difference as solutions truly come to fruition.
Then, Microsoft announced the Finance solution in Microsoft 365 Copilot, formerly Microsoft Copilot for Finance, is now generally available, helping finance teams bring ERP-connected data and workflows directly into the flow of work. Built with Microsoft 365 Copilot, this role-based AI solution connects to your existing systems of record, such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance or SAP. It also infuses AI assistance into the tools you already use every day, like Excel and Outlook. Microsoft aims to accelerate time to value within specific industries, beginning with Finance, to reduce operational inefficiencies and better overall collaboration.
Finally, in related news, IFS announced the next evolution of its IFS Loops agent platform: 10 Digital Workers with 50 agentic skills, and a near-term roadmap for 100 skills designed for mission-critical workflows in manufacturing, energy, utilities, telecoms, construction, aerospace & defense, and service industries. The IFS Loops agentic platform delivers templated Digital Workers that autonomously manage high-volume operational tasks, including field dispatch, supplier coordination, customer order manager, and inventory replenishment, across enterprise systems with real-time intelligence, audit-ready compliance, and domain-specific understanding. Agents are the next evolution of ERP, with vendors like IFS leading the charge, developing new technologies that enable growth through specialized functionality.
