Having worked on both sides — custom development and packaged ERP — I’ve learned that the real power of composability lies in how easily teams can assemble, not just integrate, capabilities. Rather than seeing ERP as a single suite, think of it as the system that enables how an enterprise operates. The core processes — finance, supply chain, manufacturing, HR — are what make up the base. Modular features such as AI forecasting, customer analytics and sustainability tracking can plug in dynamically as the business evolves.
This approach enables organizations to:
- Mix and match modules from different vendors or in-house teams.
- Integrate best-of-breed cloud apps through standard APIs instead of brittle custom code.
- Leverage AI for automation, insights and predictive decisions.
- Deliver persona-based experiences tailored to each user’s role.
Personas: The human face of composable ERP
Traditional ERP treated every user the same, in which there would be one interface, hundreds of menus, endless forms. Composable ERP flips that script with persona-based design, built around what each role needs to accomplish.
