For decades, ERP (enterprise-resource planning) systems have been the backbone of business. They brought together finance, manufacturing, supply chains, procurement, human resources, and customer data into one centralized platform. Then came M2M (machine-to-machine) communications and the rise of the IoT (Internet of Things), connecting physical assets, equipment, and infrastructure to digital systems in realtime. Now, AI (artificial intelligence) has entered the conversation—and many are beginning to ask one really big question: Will AI be the end of ERP?
I’d like to add my two cents to this conversation. For one, this isn’t the first time we have had this conversation. We literally had this exact same ERP conversation when M2M and IoT technologies exploded onto the scene.

Summer is approaching. Those of us here in the United States just celebrated Memorial Day, which is often the unofficial kick off to summer and with June right around the corner, it is the perfect time to launch a summer safety blog series to help construction teams stay safe during the busy and risky months of the year.
As many might already know, June is National Safety Month. In the next several weeks, we will cover some of the biggest safety challenges facing construction teams in 2026, from heat exposure to near-miss reporting and toolbox talks. But before we get into specific hazards, we need to start with the foundation of every successful safety program: the company culture.
