73% of operational data generated inside a factory never reaches a decision-maker. This piece breaks down why the information gap in manufacturing is widening, what it costs in disruptions and margins, and what the manufacturers closing it are doing differently.
Most businesses don’t fail at ERP because they chose the wrong software. They fail because they treated the software as the solution and forgot that workflows are the real work. Here’s what the ERP industry won’t tell you, and what the businesses that actually scale do differently.
Your ERP system is the command centre of your business and in 2025, attackers exploited that fact at unprecedented scale. From the Cl0p ransomware campaign that hit 100+ companies via Oracle E-Business Suite, to coordinated nation-state attacks on SAP environments, the incidents of 2025 made one thing clear: ERP security can no longer be treated as an IT checkbox. This article explains what happened, why it matters at the boardroom level, and what every executive must do now.
Seeing an operational problem on a screen does not help if your software cannot help you solve it. Discover why businesses must upgrade their ERPs from passive dashboards into active control systems that automatically execute solutions and eliminate costly human bottlenecks.
Every cloud tool your business adds creates a new connection and a new risk. In 2025, attackers stopped targeting systems directly and started exploiting the trusted links between them. Here’s what happened, and what needs to change.
Editing a Bill of Materials while a Manufacturing Order is already on the floor is one of the most operationally sensitive moments in manufacturing and one of the most mishandled. This guide walks operations leaders and engineers through exactly how to use Odoo’s Engineering Change Order process to manage mid-production BoM changes safely, with full audit trail, version control, and zero disruption to in-flight production.
Traditional verify once, trust always security is no longer enough. Continuous Authentication monitors user behaviour, device signals, and access patterns throughout every session making it harder for bad actors to hide while keeping friction invisible for legitimate users. Here’s why forward-thinking business leaders are treating it as a growth driver, not just an IT expense.
Traditional quality control is often just a post-mortem of a financial loss. As we move through 2026, the most profitable factories are shifting from a reactive detect and discard posture to a predictive one. By identifying the signals of failure before they occur – from environmental variables to machine drift—businesses are reclaiming the 20% of turnover typically lost to the Hidden Factory. Discover how unified platforms are democratizing AI to create the No-Surprise Factory.
