Don't Get Your Close Lost in an ERP Upgrade

A major ERP upgrade or migration is a critical step forward for corporate IT, but it often leaves Finance teams stranded on the sidelines, managing highly manual close processes in legacy systems. Waiting until a multi-year ERP migration is fully complete before modernising your financial close adds substantial risk, limits visibility, and stalls productivity.

In this session, we’ll explore how BlackLine integrates seamlessly with your existing systems to establish a unified, secure, and automated close process before, during, or alongside your ERP transformation. Whether you are migrating or upgrading your ERP, or consolidating a hybrid ERP landscape, you will discover how to maintain business continuity and control when you need it most.

What you’ll learn:

• Maintain Business Continuity: How to shield your daily and period-end close processes from the disruption of backend IT changes.

• Strengthen Controls & Governance: Why establishing a centralised, audit-ready control environment early protects your organisation throughout the transition.

• Accelerate Time-to-Value: A practical evaluation framework to help you decide the optimal timing for close automation—and why waiting until "after" the ERP go-live is often the riskiest path.
