The digital economy operates at an unprecedented rate which forces businesses to transform their operational systems and supply chain management and customer relations approaches. The competitive landscape demands that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems evolve to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and predictive analytics features for businesses to stay competitive. Surya Narayana Chakka wrote Smart ERP Solutions for Digital Commerce: AI and ML Strategies for Business Transformation to study the essential connection between business operations and technological advancements.

The contemporary business environment requires organizations to possess both speed and predictive capabilities and flexibility. According to Chakka, ERP platforms which receive AI and ML capabilities will transform from basic record-keeping systems into intelligent systems that generate business insights.
The book explains how ERP modernization functions as the fundamental element for digital commerce success.
