Dynamic pricing is an increasingly popular agentic AI application that showcases AI's advantages over humans in certain tasks. In seconds, AI can analyze customer histories and external data to optimize price quotes without turning off customers.

Such labor-intensive work can take salespeople minutes to complete, and they often have biases that cause them to miss opportunities. AI-driven dynamic pricing tools perform the analysis quickly and dispassionately, which is helping to make salespeople more productive and boosting profits.

In this episode, we explore an electrical distributor's use of an Infor ERP dynamic pricing tool, the work that went into developing and deploying it, the challenges, and lessons learned.

Featuring: David Magee, CTO and CISO, Turtle

In today's episode, we'll also cover:

• Turtle's revenue and margin improvements from using the tool.
• Why optimizing prices is so important for large distributors.
• How the Infor AI goes beyond analytics.
• The role of Infor's data science team.

While ERP cloud migration promises numerous benefits, including cost savings, leading-edge features, broad accessibility and ease of use, it also carries substantial risks. This is especially true of moving the accounting and financial management modules of on-premises ERP to the cloud.

A poorly executed move can break an organization's financial processes and expose sensitive data, raising significant financial and regulatory risks. But establishing internal controls early in the ERP planning process can be an effective safeguard.

In this episode, we explore the kinds of controls that are most effective, who is responsible for them, the steps in developing controls, and where they fit in enterprise application ecosystems.

Featuring: Laura Bellinger, audit and assurance partner, David Rains, audit and assurance principal, Deloitte accounting, controls and reporting advisory.

In today's episode, we'll also cover:

• How AI helps automate the process.
• Why cloud-driven financial transformations are a good time to improve existing controls.
• The role of consulting firms like Deloitte in setting up internal controls.
