Schematically, the Finance scope is based on three major building blocks:  <\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>ERP: the heart of the engine and all other operational and transactional systems: HRIS, CRM, Treasury, accounting ERP\u2026<\/li>\n<li>EPM: the management cockpit. It receives data from the ERP, aggregates it and produces a macro view: Management Reporting, Statutory Consolidation, Financial Planning &#038; Analysis<em>, <\/em>planning<em>\u2026 <\/em>  <\/li>\n<li><em>Data Platform \/ Modern Data Stack + BI<\/em>: the technical building block that centralises and harmonises all your sources for detailed, cross-analyses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These blocks exchange data with each other. Historically, AI and Data Science remained externalised: too technical, too specific. <\/p>\n<p>That is no longer the case.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    \n                            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"grid_image\">\n                <div class=\"panel\">\n                    <div class=\"panel_deco panel_deco--back\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <svg viewBox=\"0 0 713 859\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><defs><radialGradient id=\"cibgb-paint0_radial_0_1\" cx=\"0\" cy=\"0\" r=\"1\" gradientUnits=\"userSpaceOnUse\" gradientTransform=\"translate(542.5 704.5) rotate(90) scale(432.5)\">\n<stop stop-color=\"#CED9FA\"\/>\n<stop offset=\"1\" stop-color=\"#CED9FA\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/>\n<\/radialGradient><\/defs><circle id=\"Ellipse 56\" cx=\"542.5\" cy=\"704.5\" r=\"432.5\" fill=\"url(#cibgb-paint0_radial_0_1)\"\/><\/svg>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"panel_media\">\n                                        \n                                                                                                                                            \n                <picture >\n\n                                        <source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-1200x0-c-default.png 1x, https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-2400x0-c-default.png 2x\">\n\n                                        <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-800x0-c-default.png 1x, https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-1600x0-c-default.png 2x\">\n\n                                        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-400x0-c-default.png\"\n                         srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-400x0-c-default.png 1x, https:\/\/www.meltone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-5-1024x460-2-800x0-c-default.png 2x\"                         alt=\"Image 5 1024x460\"\n                          width=\"1024\"                           height=\"460\"                                                                                loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\n                                             >\n                <\/picture>\n                        \n                        <\/div>\n                                                        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section    \n        class=\"block-content block-content-4-meltone\"\n        >\n    <div class=\"block-content-4-meltone_deco\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n        <div class=\"block-content-4-meltone_glow block-content-4-meltone_glow--left\">\n            <svg preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" overflow=\"visible\" viewBox=\"0 0 970 970\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<circle cx=\"485\" cy=\"485\" r=\"485\" fill=\"url(#content4GlowLeft)\"\/>\n<defs>\n<radialGradient id=\"content4GlowLeft\" cx=\"0\" cy=\"0\" r=\"1\" gradientUnits=\"userSpaceOnUse\" gradientTransform=\"translate(485 485) rotate(90) scale(485)\">\n<stop stop-color=\"#9DD5D5\"\/>\n<stop offset=\"1\" stop-color=\"#9DD5D5\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/>\n<\/radialGradient>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"block-content-4-meltone_glow block-content-4-meltone_glow--right\">\n            <svg preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" overflow=\"visible\" viewBox=\"0 0 970 970\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<circle cx=\"485\" cy=\"485\" r=\"485\" fill=\"url(#content4GlowRight)\"\/>\n<defs>\n<radialGradient id=\"content4GlowRight\" cx=\"0\" cy=\"0\" r=\"1\" gradientUnits=\"userSpaceOnUse\" gradientTransform=\"translate(485 485) rotate(90) scale(485)\">\n<stop stop-color=\"#CED9FA\"\/>\n<stop offset=\"1\" stop-color=\"#CED9FA\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/>\n<\/radialGradient>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid_title\">\n                                \n                                \n                                        \n                        \n                    \n            <h2\n        class=\"title title-section\"\n                        >The impact of AI in Finance in ERP: a layered evolution<\/h2>\n    \n            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"grid_content\">\n                                                \n                                    \n                \n        <div class=\"editor\"\n        >\n        <p>Important point: AI does not revolutionise ERP.

But many Finance processes still live outside these blocks\u2014whether in Excel files, legacy applications, or manual processes. And making these blocks communicate remains complex. We would like, after a variance is detected in the EPM versus a Forecast, for an agent to go and study the detail in the data platform or the ERP to report contextual information, or even the root cause of the anomaly. We would also like, when it is simple and controlled, for it to automatically trigger corrective actions. And we would like all of this to have been done before even showing us our dashboards. But here we run into inter-application.
