Mission-Critical: Modernizing ERP Systems For Aerospace & Defense

We are living in uncertain times with threats around the world, supply chain disruptions, the onslaught of generative AI, and aging enterprise systems in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) world. How can A&D manufacturers keep up? This webinar is a follow-up to an earlier Solutions Review Spotlight called "Reaching New Heights: Navigating Aerospace and Defense in 2025" where we discussed an A&D vertical industry solution called Infor CloudSuite Aerospace and Defense and showed how the system can handle compliance with many regulations such as CMMC 2.0, DFARS, project flow down, etc.

For Department of Defense contractors and commercial aerospace manufacturers, the system is the most advanced in the market - even over big competitors like SAP (S/4HANA) and IFS. Since that webinar, there have been even more developments involving threats and more supply chain disruptions made worse by tariffs and trade wars with countries that supply parts to the A&D manufacturers in the U.S.

In this webinar, we will have a LIVE discussion with top experts about the emerging landscape for A&D original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers. This will go beyond the compliance needs because that's only part of the picture. What A&D manufacturers need now is vertical industry-focused, modern ERP systems that are compliant with the regulations, with built-in business models, flexible deployment options, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

As our special guest, we will have a presentation from the VP of IT at AEVEX Aerospace, which is a $750 million revenue manufacturer of drones and components. They implemented CloudSuite A&D and the embedded Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software in an insanely fast 6 months. After that, we will hear from BDO, a large consultancy, about how the implementation could have been even better with more Organizational Change Management (OCM).
