Chatbots can explain, summarize, and provide context, but they do not necessarily take work off the user\u2019s plate. Nominal is betting on a different model\u2014agentic performance management that sits alongside the ERP system, follows standard operating procedures, and helps execute finance and accounting tasks with human oversight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"1408\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In this ERP Today interview, Montelius discusses why finance teams are looking for agents inside their ERP ecosystems; where trust and determinism fit into AI adoption; and why high-volume, multi-entity businesses are emerging as a strong use case. She also explains how Nominal approaches intercompany transactions, reconciliation, ERP-agnostic integrations, and the balance between automation and accountability as AI tools move deeper into enterprise operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u21e8 Nominal is positioning agentic AI for ERP finance as a way to move beyond chatbots and help&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[33792,179,405,1798,7537,33791,33769,7606,7609,2445,3080,33793,10205,16195,24638,9458,9460],"class_list":["post-58225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-accounting-automation","tag-agentic-ai","tag-ai-agents","tag-ai-governance","tag-artificial-intelligence-agents","tag-erp-agents","tag-erp-automation","tag-erp-integration","tag-erp-today","tag-event","tag-finance-automation","tag-intercompany-reconciliation","tag-manufacturing-erp","tag-nominal","tag-performance-management","tag-sage","tag-sage-future"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
