Adeptia upgrades platform to accelerate enterprise data flows
Adeptia has announced the release of Adeptia Connect v5, an updated version of its data automation platform designed to streamline data integration for enterprise customers.
The latest iteration of the platform introduces a range of new capabilities designed to improve user experience and accelerate the process of ingesting, transforming and activating business data. One of the core additions is a new marketplace, which provides preconfigured application connectors, integrations, and APIs. According to the company, these enhancements are intended to reduce data integration timeframes from weeks to hours.
Adeptia Connect v5 also introduces a new unlimited usage pricing model. This model allows customers to utilise the platform's features without limits or unexpected expenses, aiming to give greater flexibility and value in managing data workflows.
The platform's primary features include AI-assisted Intelligent Document Processing, an AI-powered business rules engine that requires no traditional coding, and a variety of automation tools for internal and partner app integrations. The release features pre-built solutions for tasks such as extracting structured data from unstructured sources, including PDFs and images, as well as an AI-assisted data mapper for configuration of data transformations. An automation wizard is included to simplify process set-up, and support is extended to a wide array of protocols, databases, file formats, and connectors. The underlying architecture is designed for flexibility, supporting any-to-any data flows.
"In today's economy, every second of delay of acting on your data is precious time wasted that could be the difference between onboarding a customer within weeks, versus hours or days," Deepak Singh, Chief Innovation Officer at Adeptia, commented on the challenges facing businesses in the current environment.
Singh continued, "We have designed the latest version of Adeptia Connect to be intelligent, helping to remove the complexity out of data integration by allowing for flexibility of format, and providing an easy, self-service automation wizard to help businesses work their best, with the data they need at their fingertips."
The company's announcement referenced data from Gartner's Reengineering the Decision Survey, which found that 71% of organisations now experience increased frequency, rapidity, and complexity in their decision-making processes. Adeptia noted that a lack of real-time data can result in organisations relying on outdated insights, highlighting the importance of timely access to actionable information.
The platform's features are targeted at a variety of industries, with specific partner-to-app automation solutions for sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. The newly introduced marketplace allows customers to access a range of ready-made tools, facilitating faster deployments and reduced manual intervention when integrating with their existing systems.
Adeptia states that its vision with Connect v5 is to give enterprises the capability to manage their first-mile data at scale, supporting business goals such as reduced time to revenue and improved operational alignment. The shift to a usage-based pricing model is intended to address the unpredictability in costs that many organisations face as their data management needs evolve.
The company has indicated that Connect v5 aims to provide customers with a platform that can adapt to a range of data formats and integration requirements. This is in response to increasing market demand for solutions that efficiently handle both structured and unstructured data.

Adeptia unveils AIDP to boost enterprise document automation
Adeptia has introduced AIDP, an AI-driven Intelligent Document Processing solution designed for enterprises operating in highly regulated sectors across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. The new AIDP offering is centred on helping business users to automatically extract insights from unstructured documents, such as invoices, purchase orders, and loan applications, using advanced technologies including machine learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Adeptia states that the solution can interpret a range of document types, even those with complex layouts and handwritten content, across large, multi-page files. Automation and accuracy Adeptia's leadership highlights that while Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has traditionally been the core approach for digitising paper and physical documents, the evolving needs of enterprises demand solutions that can also interpret the meaning and contextual information within documents. OCR alone, the company notes, is not sufficient for modern requirements. "Traditional OCR, while a good starting point, often falls short in delivering the end-to-end automation and data accuracy that modern enterprises require," said Charles Nardi, Chief Executive Officer, Adeptia. "Adeptia AIDP offers a powerful business case built on demonstrable ROI, including significant cost reduction, enhanced operational efficiency, superior data accuracy and quality, and actionable insights that lead to a competitive advantage through intelligent automation." Adeptia has designed AIDP to extract information and facilitate its integration into existing business applications and proprietary systems, which is crucial for organisations that rely on robust internal records management. The company says this feature enables the seamless transition of unstructured data into formats more suitable for analysis and integration. Features and integration The AIDP platform is built on several AI-driven capabilities. These include generative AI for document processing, high levels of data extraction accuracy, advanced validation and enrichment of extracted data, and integration with enterprise workflows through AI-based data mapping and business rules engines. In addition to these, AIDP handles large documents and complex variations, while also enabling human oversight for data verification where necessary. The 'humans-in-the-loop' element allows end-users to intervene, review, or validate extracted information in a structured format before that data is processed or moved into business systems. This is paired with AI-based rules that help ensure the accuracy and quality of the information at the point of extraction. Enterprise demands Adeptia describes AIDP as suitable for deploying in cloud-first organisations as well as in more traditional on-premises or hybrid scenarios, which is particularly relevant for regulated sectors with unique compliance requirements. According to its announcement, AIDP's data extraction not only digitises content but is designed to reveal previously hidden insights within business documents. This may help users leverage data more effectively and quickly, often reducing the time from extraction to action to mere minutes. Features highlighted by Adeptia for AIDP include seamless integration support, accelerated document-driven workflows, and the capability to support both automated and manual review processes, all while maintaining high data quality standards. Charles Nardi echoed the focus on return on investment as well as reliability, stating the new solution provides "superior data accuracy and quality, and actionable insights that lead to a competitive advantage through intelligent automation." Adeptia says it will continue to support enterprise integration needs with tools to handle first-mile data at scale, aiming to help organisations improve operational efficiency and realise cost savings through automation and AI-driven processing.

Exclusive: CIOs push back on SAP upgrade deadline amid cost fears
Leaders in IT are under growing pressure to upgrade their core enterprise systems, but many are digging in their heels. With less than two years until SAP ends mainstream support for its traditional ERP platform, many businesses are still resisting the move to S/4HANA, citing cost, risk, and lack of a compelling business case. "Two-thirds of SAP customers are still running ECC," explained Luiz Mariotto, who leads the global solution engineering team at Rimini Street. "That's according to Gartner. After ten years, SAP still hasn't convinced the majority of its customer base to move," he said during a recent interview. Mariotto, based in Miami and a 25-year veteran of the SAP ecosystem, recently completed a whirlwind tour of Australia and New Zealand, meeting customers and prospects across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland. He said while the region shares global concerns, some industries are "more aggressively focused on cost-cutting." "IT leaders are under pressure to reduce cost, optimise their operations, and at the same time, find ways to innovate," he said. "But how do you fund innovation if you've got to reduce both capex and opex, and still run your mission-critical ERP?" SAP announced in 2020 that it would end mainstream support for ECC by 2027. For many enterprises, the vendor's push to move customers to S/4HANA in the cloud feels less like a choice and more like a mandate. But Mariotto says the business case just isn't there for many. "Some CIOs go to the board and say, 'There is a risk if we don't get SAP's support,' but the board is pushing back. They're asking: 'Do we really need to spend hundreds of millions and three years of effort just to change software that already works?'" he said. Mariotto cited examples of global clients who have spent years and millions tailoring their ECC systems to complex processes like finance, logistics, or manufacturing. "Now SAP is saying, 'Sorry, you have to upgrade,'" he said. "But IT leaders are asking themselves: should my roadmap be driven by a vendor's timeline, or by business priorities?" Some clients who have started their S/4HANA projects are already pausing due to economic or geopolitical changes, such as trade wars or shifts in global supply chains. "The world is changing. The risks are shifting. And in that scenario, software upgrades drop in priority," he said. According to Mariotto, customers are increasingly exploring third-party support options as a way to defer expensive upgrades. Rimini Street, which provides independent support for enterprise software, has built what it calls the "Rimini Smart Path" — a three-stage approach: support, optimise and innovate. "First, we take over support of the ERP and deliver savings of 50 to 90 percent," he said. "Then we help clients optimise their landscape - no more forced upgrades. Finally, they can reinvest those savings into innovation." That innovation doesn't need to come from SAP either. Mariotto said many customers are turning to vendors like ServiceNow, Microsoft or AWS for AI, automation, and analytics. "Who said your AI must come from SAP?" he asked. "Clients can innovate now, without waiting years for a complex ERP migration." In a timely development, Rimini Street has also announced it will now offer full support for all SAP ECC 6.0 and S/4HANA releases through 2040 - without requiring customers to migrate to S/4HANA on RISE. This move is significant for businesses weighing whether to accept SAP's cloud roadmap or chart their own course. The extension means organisations can maintain their current SAP systems, stay in full tax and legal compliance, and avoid the significant costs of vendor-mandated upgrades. "This gives customers a real choice," Mariotto said. "They can buy time, stay supported, and focus their budget on strategic innovation rather than software replatforming." SAP has tried to soften its stance, announcing earlier this year a programme allowing customers to delay their migration if they commit to moving to S/4HANA Cloud by 2030 or 2033. But Mariotto called it "a ticket with strings attached" and said many customers remain unconvinced. "The vendor says you can delay, but only if you commit to a cloud subscription now. Clients say, 'Wait a minute - I don't even know what I'll be doing in two years.'" The complexity of moving to S/4HANA is also a deterrent. For large organisations, the change is not simply an upgrade - it involves changing data models, processes, licences, and infrastructure. "Even for a simple ECC to S/4HANA migration, you have to convert your general ledger, adapt your customisations, and migrate data into HANA's new structure," he said. "That's not a patch. That's a transformation." Mariotto added that some clients mistakenly believe third-party support limits future flexibility. "One of the biggest misconceptions is that you can't move forward without SAP support. But we can handle security, custom code, integrations - everything. And if clients eventually decide to go to S/4HANA, we can help prepare them." In fact, he said, some customers who delayed upgrading with Rimini Street's support have later chosen to migrate on their own terms. "We have clients who stayed with us five or six years, and then said, 'Now I have a business case.' In some cases, we even supported their legacy ERP during the transition," he said. In the era of hybrid IT, many enterprises are already managing a mix of legacy and cloud applications. Mariotto said this "composable ERP" approach - mixing a stable core with best-of-breed cloud tools - is now the norm, not a Frankenstein monster. "The future of ERP won't be a big box. It'll be intelligent agents, automation layers, and flexible platforms," he said. "Vendors like ServiceNow and Microsoft see that. They're building tools that integrate everything - not just one vendor's stack." With CIOs expected to do more with less, Mariotto said the days of vendor-driven roadmaps are numbered. "Clients are telling SAP: If you're not flexible, I'll find someone else to support me - and someone else to help me innovate," he said.
