I tried Claude Cowork for procurement—I’m stunned
It goes without saying that there’s a lot of buzz around AI and agents right now. But what are people actually doing with them in supply chain and finance? My team gave AI agents a concerted try, and I’m being honest when I say I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before in my career—a moment when things changed so completely.
30 hard truths about your next ERP project
If your team had a chance to start your current business over, would you build it differently? Most leaders say they would. You probably know much more now than when you started or joined. The team here feels the same about enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
Why subscription businesses have to rethink ERP
Something big is happening at Everest. We’ve released new products, onboarded more customers than ever, and enabled them to run faster and leaner. The most common thing we hear from new prospects? “Why haven’t we heard of you before?” and “Why is my current application so expensive?” and “they seem to be increasing prices but giving me fewer capabilities at renewal?”
Can you have an ERP without tradeoffs?
For high-growth SaaS and AI companies, ERP vendors generally fall into two camps and each have major tradeoffs. Neither is built to handle the complexity and speed of change those businesses now face.
The Difference Between True ERP and Glorified GL Becomes Clear
We wrapped up our Q2 at Everest and had our best one yet, with notable wins across all our market segments. A few examples include:
Why Subscription Businesses Face a New Technical and Economic Reality
The technology and economy today looks nothing like it did 20 years ago especially for subscription-based businesses. The evolution of software delivery and monetization models has brought new levels of complexity, demanding a fundamentally different operational and financial approach.
Beyond the Vibe: Why AI is Sparking a Renaissance in Software Specification(And How Everest Systems Leads the Way)
The software development landscape is in constant flux, and the latest seismic shift arrives courtesy of Artificial Intelligence (AI). A new frontier, often dubbed "Vibe Coding," is capturing the imagination of developers and non-coders alike. This approach promises a more intuitive, conversational, and accelerated path from idea to application.
The AI Revolution in Enterprise Software: From Vibe Coding to Vertical ERPs
The enterprise software landscape is undergoing a profound transformation driven by artificial intelligence. This revolution is reshaping how businesses approach software development, moving from generic one-size-fits-all solutions toward precision-engineered, industry-specific applications.
The Growing Urgency of People Costs Visibility
Over the past few years, especially in the SaaS/Tech industry where people costs represent one of the largest expenses, we have seen waves of layoffs and organizational restructuring driven by macroeconomic factors.
Why Best-of-Breed vs. Best-of-Suite Can be a False Choice?
Having spent most of my career in business software, I’ve found the discussion between Best-of-Breed vs. Best-of-Suite to be lacking some nuance - is it always one way or the other? The reality is companies are always selecting shades of both, depending on the phase of the company, the specific business processes they’re addressing, and the breadth and depth of solutions in the market.
Why ERP Reporting Is Broken: Lessons from the Legacy Trenches
After years as a NetSuite consultant, I kept seeing the same scene repeat itself. A smart, capable business user would sit across from me—frustrated, sometimes even embarrassed—struggling to pull what should be simple data from their ERP. “I just want to see which sales orders haven’t been invoiced yet,” they’d say. What followed was always the same: a 30-minute detour through table relationships

Why Chat AI Agents Won’t Revolutionize SaaS Finance (But Native AI Will)
SaaS companies are racing to embed AI into their products. But while their front-end experiences evolve, finance teams are still buried in manual reporting, fragmented data, and endless spreadsheets. Chat AI agents are starting to help - but are they truly transformative, or just a faster way to work around outdated systems?
