San Ramon, CA – Rootstock Software today announced it will host a webinar with Nucleus Research exploring the key trends shaping ERP technology in the manufacturing and distribution industries. The session, “The Future of ERP: Industry Insights, AI Trends, and the Impact of Global Pressures,” will feature insights from the 2025 Nucleus SMB ERP Technology Value Matrix, in which Rootstock was ranked a Leader for the fourth consecutive year.

The webinar will feature Charles A. Brennan, Analyst at Nucleus Research and author of the 2025 ERP Value Matrix, and Kristina Hartjens, Vice President of Solution Consulting at Rootstock Software. Together, they will explore how ERP technology is evolving to enable manufacturers and distributors to respond to market disruptions and rising expectations.

“ERP has evolved beyond being a system of record to a system that drives action,” said Charles A. Brennan. “Through conversations with end users, Nucleus has found that embedding AI and predictive analytics into ERP closes the gap between insight and execution. Rootstock’s placement as a Leader in this year’s Value Matrix reflects what we’ve seen in their customer outcomes around greater responsiveness and improved decision-making capabilities.”

“At Rootstock, we view ERP as more than software—it’s a catalyst for change,” said Rick Berger, CEO of Rootstock Software. “Success comes when product-focused companies calibrate our ERP to work closely with their people and processes. Whether it’s responding to global tariffs, addressing labor shortages, or building resilience into supply chains, Rootstock ERP enables companies to keep operations on track, make smarter decisions, and thereby, adapt with confidence in the face of change.”

In this webinar, attendees will learn:

  • Insights from the 2025 SMB ERP Value Matrix on what ERP capabilities matter most.
  • How AI, predictive analytics, and composable platforms are reshaping the ERP landscape.
  • The latest industry findings on manufacturing and distribution priorities, challenges, and technology adoption.
  • The impact of global pressures such as tariffs and supply chain volatility on ERP strategy.
