From Hype to Hands-On: How Astute Made GenAI Work for ERP at Blueprint 4D Reconnect 2025

The Blueprint 4D Reconnect Live 2025 conference in Las Vegas wasn’t just another tech gathering—it was the moment where the AI hype ended and real-world GenAI solutions for ERP took center stage. Astute Business Solutions showed up not with theories, but with tangible results, proven use cases, and customer success stories that resonated across industries.

A Focus on Real-World GenAI Use Cases

At this year’s event, we cut through the noise and focused on what truly matters: how GenAI is solving real problems in ERP environments like PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, E-Business Suite, and Fusion.

Our sessions, conversations, and workshops spotlighted GenAI use cases in core business functions—especially Human Capital Management (HCM). Attendees were eager to explore how AI could streamline tasks, improve decision-making, and reduce manual overhead across ERP.

Key highlights included:

• Workforce Administration
  Automating onboarding and HR support with intelligent document processing and GenAI-powered virtual assistants.
• AI Skills Matching
  Parsing resumes, matching based on keywords and certifications, and scheduling interviews automatically.
• Benefits Assistant
  GenAI-powered chatbots managed PTO requests, benefit queries, and policy FAQs.
• AI Onboarding Automation
  From processing employment forms to delivering personalized training programs.
• GenAI Sentiment Analysis
  Administering surveys and streaming data analysis to understand workforce mood and drive better leadership decisions.
• Vector Search with Oracle 23ai
  Finding information across ERP systems—quickly and intuitively—without combing through data warehouses.

Live Demos that Showed Real Progress

Visitors were invited to preview working versions of our flagship GenAI-powered applications:

• AstuteAP:
  A GenAI solution that automates invoice intake, validation, and approvals for faster, more accurate accounts payable processing.
• AstuteCLM:
  A GenAI- and RAG-powered Contract Lifecycle Management tool that handles contract creation, review, and search intelligently across ERP platforms.

These demos showed how AI can make a measurable impact in finance and procurement by cutting down on turnaround time and reducing human error.

AI Insights from Our Expert-Led Sessions

Our breakout sessions and customer stories were a major draw for attendees. Here are just a few that sparked great discussions:

AI for ERP Hands-On Workshop

This interactive session lets participants build real ERP use cases using Oracle 23ai and RAG agents. Covering everything from contracts and invoices to expenses and employee support, the workshop was a highlight for hands-on learning.

Exploring Generative AI for PeopleSoft: Opportunities and Real-World Use Cases

In this session, customers shared their own experiences with GenAI in PeopleSoft—what worked, what didn’t, and what to consider when planning your own AI journey. It brought valuable peer-to-peer insight to the forefront.

From Obsolete to Elite: Transforming PeopleSoft HCM with GenAI

Attendees got a close look at how GenAI is modernizing HR. We showed how routine tasks—like answering employee queries or generating onboarding documentation—are now being handled by AI agents, delivering faster service and reducing the workload on HR teams.

Building Together in the AI for ERP Workshop

The hands-on workshop was a major highlight. Led by Astute’s GenAI experts, participants had the opportunity to:

• Build GenAI use cases across PeopleSoft, JDE, EBS, and Fusion ERP.
• Work with Oracle 23ai and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agents.
• Focus on practical business processes like contract management, expense processing, and employee support.

This wasn’t just a showcase—it was a lab for learning, exploring, and creating real solutions with expert guidance.

Personalized Strategy Sessions that Mattered

Throughout the event, we hosted 1:1 strategy meetings with organizations looking to move from GenAI curiosity to implementation. These tailored sessions covered:

• Healthcheck reviews and findings
• Roadmap planning for cloud migration
• Use case identification and AI-readiness assessments

We helped teams understand what to prioritize, how to pilot AI in low-risk, high-value areas, and where to scale once early wins are proven.

Conversations that Will Continue

Whether you attended one of our sessions, visited our demos, or sat down with us for a 1:1 meeting, thank you for bringing your questions, challenges, and vision. The interest and engagement we saw confirmed what we’ve always believed: AI doesn’t need to be hype—it needs to be helpful.

As we look ahead, Astute will continue delivering practical, effective AI solutions that make a difference in how organizations run their ERP systems.
