ERP Competition | Public Online Pitch | Results in the ERP 6/26 Winners’ Edition
The ERP/AI Online Pitch for “ERP System of the Year 2026” has officially concluded. The jury’s evaluation results will be announced at the IT-Unternehmertag on 5 October 2026.
During the ERP Online Pitches in June, July and August 2026, participants showcased innovative ERP use cases, modern ERP technologies and new capabilities for businesses. The free online format gave ERP decision-makers, IT leaders and digital transformation professionals practical insight into emerging ERP trends, process automation, AI-enabled business solutions and future-ready IT strategies.
About the Online Pitch
The competition is designed as a Smart Entertainment and Upskilling event: a distinctive format that informs, inspires and engages a discerning professional audience. The pitch delivers practical insights, current market trends and concrete takeaways to support well-informed day-to-day business decisions.
Continuing its annual tradition, the 2026 ERP & Artificial Intelligence competition once again gave C-level leaders strategic insights into innovation trends, practical business applications and measurable value creation. In focused five-minute online pitch sessions, solution providers presented category-specific ERP and AI use cases, their approaches to business challenges and the resulting customer benefits. Each pitch was followed by ten minutes of rigorous questioning from the expert jury. The online audience joined free of charge, explored emerging ERP and AI innovations, submitted questions, benchmarked solutions and voted for the Audience Favourite Award. The interactive format paired transparent evaluation with practical relevance, delivering the clarity and market perspective required for sound executive decision-making.
Pitch participants who convince the 12-member expert jury will be honoured with Gold, Silver or Bronze in their respective category at the IT-Unternehmertag in Frankfurt. As every year, awards are presented exclusively across individual categories; there is no overall winner.
