The Business Show Asia 2026

AI is quickly becoming part of nearly every business conversation, with many SMEs exploring how it can improve productivity, reduce manual work, and support better decision-making. But many businesses are trying to layer AI on top of workflows that are already fragmented, inconsistent, or heavily dependent on spreadsheets, Whatsapp messages, emails, and manual coordination.

AI cannot fix operational chaos on its own.

In this session, NMT will share why ERP implementation design still matters in the age of AI. Before businesses can fully benefit from automation or AI-enabled productivity, they need a strong operational foundation: clear workflows, reliable data, properly designed system processes, and users who understand how the system supports their daily work.

The session is designed for SME owners and business leaders to think through what it means to become “AI-ready” in a practical way. Rather than chasing technology for its own sake, businesses should first ask whether their core processes are visible, structured, and scalable enough for smarter tools to create real value.

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how ERP, workflow design, and AI can work together — and why the success of transformation depends not just on choosing the right software, but on designing systems that fit real business operations.
