Champions in Action: From Workflow to Outcome
Speakers: Sanjay Brahmawar, Ron Davis, Anam Rahman

This session shows how AI can be embedded directly into existing workflows to deliver immediate, practical value—without disruption.

From Complexity to Results: A Real Manufacturing Story
Speaker: QAD Customer

Hear directly from a manufacturer applying AI within live operations to drive measurable business results—without a large-scale, disruptive transformation. This session walks through the full journey, from the need for change to implementation, challenges faced, and the outcomes achieved post go-live.

Insight Isn’t Enough. Execution Is What Matters.
Speaker: Sanjay Brahmawar

This session explores why AI investments often fall short—and how to fix it. Learn why true performance and financial impact come not from insight alone, but from how AI is applied within day-to-day execution. By reframing the role of AI from analysis to action, this session shows what needs to change to unlock meaningful results.

Adaptive ERP: The Intelligent Backbone | How Manufacturers Modernize, Operationalize AI, and Build Systems of Action
Speaker: Amit Sharma

Many organizations have delayed modernization efforts because they believe the cost, complexity, and disruption outweigh the benefits. Others worry that modernization requires abandoning the business logic, workflows, and processes that make their organizations unique.

This session directly addresses those concerns by providing a practical modernization story built around real customer experiences, implementation lessons, partner expertise, and one of the most important innovations introduced during the event: Lynx Champion.

The session demonstrates what manufacturers can do today, how organizations are modernizing successfully, how customizations can be preserved, and how AI becomes operationalized within day-to-day execution and provides visibility into where the platform is headed so attendees understand both the immediate opportunity and the longer-term vision.
