Cloud migration is top of mind for many enterprises, whether you’re just starting the journey or already running in the cloud. The move can unlock meaningful transformation, but it often comes with challenges that are easy to underestimate. Beyond selecting a solution, long-term success depends on aligning enterprise cloud strategy, change management, and business process transformation. The OATUG Cloud ERP SIG Panel will be available to share lessons learned from implementations and to answer member questions. Bring your questions and join the conversation.
