Hi and welcome to episode 222 of The ERP Minute. I’m your host, Charlie DeCurtis
To start the week with big ERP news, Acumatica kicked off their yearly conference, Acumatica Summit 2026, with a keynote address focused on the transformative power of AI, human innovation, and the real-world results customers are achieving today. This three-day conference brings together customers, partners, developers, and industry leaders for several days of keynotes, breakout sessions, and hands-on learning focused on innovation, community, and the future of ERP.

In other news, IFS announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, delivering 23% year-on-year ARR growth and an increase of 30% year-on-year for Cloud revenue. IFS’s increasing customer expansion through moves in the Industrial AI space allows the vendor to move clients away from experimentation into scaled operational deployment, alongside fundamental shifts in the industrial software market. As AI continues to be more widely accepted by businesses, demand will continue to rise, and vendors who invest in solutions to meet customers where they are at will see the most success in the era of AI.
Then, Sage announced a global partnership with Augusta Labs, the applied AI lab that helps enterprises build and scale AI transformation. The partnership accelerates the development and delivery of Sage’s AI Center of Excellence by embedding Augusta Labs’ applied AI engineering teams directly into Sage’s product organization. This partnership will help Sage deliver agentic workflows that automate end-to-end tasks, high-performance data pipelines for real-time insight, and production-ready AI features delivered at pace. Collaborations like this will help customers take advantage of the latest innovations in artificial intelligence and will continue to fuel the adoption of AI.
Finally, Workday announced its plans to invest CAD $1 billion in Canada over the next five years. The multi-year investment demonstrates Workday's commitment to growing in Canada, including plans to further develop local tech talent, strengthen local customer support, and give back to Canadian communities through participation in the "With Glowing Hearts" reservist registry, a national initiative that supports Canadian Armed Forces reservists in the workplace. Vendors such as Workday continue to invest in their global presence, expanding their footprint to meet the needs of international markets.
