Parallel running sounds like a safety net. In reality, it's one of the most common and most expensive mistakes in ERP implementation.

In this episode, Pete and Nirav are joined by Emily Browning — an IT leader in manufacturing — to break down exactly why running your old system alongside your new ERP almost always backfires.

We talk through:

• Why data duplication quickly becomes data chaos — and you lose your single source of truth
• The real impact on your teams when you ask them to do everything twice during go-live
• What "just in case" actually signals to the rest of the business
• Why phased or staggered go-lives rarely work for fully integrated ERP systems
• How keeping the old system alive delays ROI and muddies the business case
• Practical tactics for driving adoption — from post-go-live training to accountability dashboards

If you're approaching go-live and leadership is asking about parallel running, this episode gives you the arguments (and the confidence) to push back.

What happens when ERP stops being software… and starts becoming a digital replica of your entire business?

In this episode, Peter Nicholson and Nirav Shah unpack the biggest moments from Acumatica Summit 2026 — from the buzz of the new venue to the bold product announcements shaping the future of cloud ERP.

They dive into how Acumatica is embedding AI directly into business workflows, making systems smarter, more proactive, and deeply connected to real-world operations. You’ll hear about InsightXL’s live Excel integration, game-changing automation features, AI-powered document tagging, anomaly detection, and what all of this means for finance, operations, and leadership teams.

Plus, we break down:

• The vision of ERP as a real-time “digital twin” of your business
• How AI is transforming everyday transactions (without replacing people)
• Strategic partnerships and acquisitions that signal where Acumatica is headed
• Customer success stories that show the tech in action
• The future roadmap — and what you should be preparing for now

If you’re curious about how AI is reshaping ERP — and what that means for your organization — this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

We were so impressed with the news and updates from Acumatica Summit 2026 in Seattle, we had to grab a few minutes to document our initial impressions. Apologies in advance for Pete's slurring of words, he must've been too excited about the updates... or the free beer at the after party.
