Presented by Unanet

ERP systems are essential to how architecture and engineering firms manage projects, people, and financials—yet many leaders still struggle to turn ERP data into timely, actionable insight. Reporting queues, manual workarounds, and late visibility into risk have become accepted realities of running an A&E firm. 

In this live conversation, Lucas Hayden (Sr. Director, AEC Strategy at Unanet) sits down with Matt Pantana—co-founder of Clearview (now Unanet AE) and Wyatt—to explore how AI is fundamentally changing that dynamic. 

Rather than focusing on faster reports, this discussion reframes ERP as an active participant in running the business—one that can answer questions in plain language, monitor risk, delegate work, and surface guidance when it matters most. Drawing on decades of A&E experience and real-world examples, Lucas and Matt will explore:

 Why ERP has always been powerful—but hard for teams to use day to day 

What AI changes about how people interact with systems of record 

How delegation to intelligent agents shifts teams from prep work to decision-making 

Why trust, accuracy, permissions, and auditability are non-negotiable in ERP 

How A&E leaders may operate differently over the next 3–5 years 

Attendees will leave with a clearer view of what an AI-first ERP experience really means—and how it can help firms run more predictable, profitable, and resilient businesses.
