Modeling ERP data in dbt: Best practices for reliable reporting

🌐 Global friendly sessions on March 25 & 26

Your ERP is your most trusted system of record. It's also the hardest place to get a straight answer. SAP, Oracle ERP Cloud, and Dynamics 365 excel at what they were designed for — recording transactions and keeping operations running. Analytics is a different problem. Cross-functional reporting, historical reconstruction, and executive-ready insights require a layer that these systems were never meant to provide.

The gap shows up fast:

Finance teams burning hours on manual reconciliations
Business logic buried in spreadsheets and legacy scripts that no one fully understands
Institutional knowledge disappears when key team members leave
M&A creates fractured reporting across multiple systems
Out-of-the-box ERP reports fall short of what leadership actually needs

You have the data. You're missing the foundation.

In this live virtual event, data experts from phData and dbt Labs will show you how to use dbt to transform raw ERP extracts into governed, tested, analytics-ready models — with SQL, Jinja, and version control at the center of it all.

If you're done patching together fragile pipelines and inconsistent metrics, this session delivers a practical blueprint for centralizing business logic in dbt, eliminating shadow transformations, and building reporting that your leadership can stand behind.
