This week I'm joined by Arnav Mishra, who is co-founder and CTO of DOSS. We are exploring the world where AI meets ERP and how DOSS are transforming the ERP landscape and the challenges that come with. Introduction into the problem space of ERP and the problems you’re solving. Historical ERP costs, consultancies and fragmentation and why the problem space is ripe for innovation. The way in which DOSS are re-building ERP from the ground up; There's a great SDLC analogy they stand by. Arnav helps us understand what “great” looks like for DOSS. Understanding some of the engineering challenges, particularly around data, the right data and scale at DOSS. How do engineers think in the abstract ways to build ANY business application.
