ERP users may soon get ahead by going headless, says Rimini Street boss

Rimini Street CEO Seth Ravin advocates for 'headless ERP' as a solution for enterprises to bypass traditional ERP upgrade cycles by using open-source databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Salesforce's Headless 360 and SAP's policy shift on AI agents highlight growing interest in decoupling ERP systems from monolithic vendors. A survey by Rimini Street found 70% of executives doubt traditional ERP's future, favoring modular, API-driven, or AI-driven alternatives.
