During the lunch, it ended up being mainly about security (and NIS2 in particular) and the inevitable Artificial Intelligence.
Most of the discussion arose about what is best for entrepreneurs in terms of software and packages: one ERP system or several applications and then linking them. Remko clearly favours the latter and is a fan of Microsoft Power Platform solutions: "ERP-like systems are doomed to fail. Nowadays, anyone can quickly and easily develop apps that are not custom-made. Why make concessions when you can embed your own process in an app in a few clicks?"
You can find the report of the entrepreneurs' lunch on pages 26-29 of Arnhem Business 7 2023.
Oh yes, while you're reading... take a look at the report of the business car test day to which we from IT Local also contributed. You'll find that starting on page 43.
