ERP is a finance transformation wearing an IT label.And CFOs need to reclaim it.🎙 The full episode of The ERP Perspective with Thomas Hood of SC&H Group is NOW live.In this conversation, we unpack a critical shift happening inside organisations right now:→ ERP decisions are often led by IT…But finance lives with the consequences.From planning and forecasting to close cycles, data governance and AI, Thomas breaks down why ERP, EPM and data strategy must sit firmly within the CFO agenda, not just the IT roadmap.We explore:• Why ERP has drifted away from CFO ownership• What that disconnect actually costs organisations• How high-performing finance teams approach transformation differently• Why mindset, leadership and stakeholder engagement drive 80% of outcomes• Where AI is delivering real value and where teams are getting ahead of themselvesThis isn’t a technical conversation.It’s a strategic one.Because finance isn’t just reporting the past anymore.It’s expected to shape what happens next.And that requires ownership of the systems, the data, and the transformation roadmap.
