Every week, Tim Rodman talks to the people actually building AI into mid-market ERP systems, consultants, controllers, and administrators wiring automations into platforms like Acumatica by hand, and publishes what he learns, unfiltered. Ganesh Gandhieswaran has spent since 2017 on the other side of that same story, building the platform layer that turns those one-off automations into something repeatable, governed, and safe to run without someone watching over it.
Ganesh Gandhieswaran, CEO and Co-Founder of ConverSight, welcomes Tim Rodman, Founder of ErpSeal, to this episode of the Data Insights Podcast. Rather than debating whether AI belongs in ERP, the two trace the path it’s actually taking: starting with a single clever automation built by a practitioner who got tired of doing something manually, and following it step by step toward a system a finance leader can defend.
Tim brings the view from the ground, covering what practitioners are building right now and where their tinkering starts to break down. Ganesh brings the view from the platform layer, covering what has to be true, structurally, before an agent can be trusted to act on its own.
💬 Why Listen?
If your organization is watching AI show up in your ERP system through scattered scripts, macros, and one-person automations rather than a top-down rollout, this episode maps out what that bottom-up wave actually looks like — and what separates a clever one-off from a system built to last, with a practical look at what has to be in place before anyone lets an agent act unsupervised.
