Send us Fan MailLarge enterprises approach ERP through a fundamentally different lens, where the system serves not as a tool for day-to-day execution but as a coordination layer for a complex, global ecosystem spanning multiple countries, regulatory regimes, and business models. Typically starting at $1 billion in revenue and extending well beyond $5 billion, these organizations prioritize financial consolidation, governance, and compliance at scale, often adopting best-of-breed or two-tier ERP strategies to balance centralized financial control with decentralized operational flexibility. Implementation timelines are long and capital-intensive, frequently spanning several years, as enterprises navigate acquisitions, divestitures, and evolving operating models. In this context, ERP systems must support deep multi-entity structures, localization requirements, and intercompany complexity without forcing rigid standardization across all business units. This is why evaluating ERP for large enterprises requires an architectural perspective that aligns system design with organizational scale, and why this 2026 list focuses on solutions built for global resilience—helping leaders reduce long-term implementation risk while enabling continuous transformation across the enterprise.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top large company ERP in 2026.
