How do you connect AI to an existing ERP or CRM system?
Connect AI to an existing ERP or CRM through precisely defined data and permitted actions, rather than giving it unrestricted access to the entire system. First determine which information AI needs to read, which system is the source of truth, what it may write and which changes require human approval. Replacing the ERP or CRM is not usually a prerequisite.
Keep reading and writing separate
An initial pilot might only read a customer's or job's status from the ERP and prepare a draft. Writing a change is a separate permission and should only be introduced when both the rules and the review process are sufficiently reliable.
Integration will not resolve an unclear source of truth
If the same figure differs between the ERP, CRM and Excel, a technical integration will only expose the conflict more quickly. You first need to decide which source applies to a particular decision.

I will first verify the role of your existing systems and propose the smallest safe integration for a specific task.
