What ERP development actually requires in 2026
2026 ERP customization: SAP ABAP/Fiori, NetSuite SuiteScript 2.1, Microsoft Dynamics F&O extensions, Oracle Cloud ERP Configuration. Greenfield: Postgres + Node/.NET, OpenAPI, integrations to Stripe + Avalara + warehouse tools (3PL Central, ShipBob APIs).

The market for senior ERP architects is small and consulting-firm-dominated (Deloitte, Accenture, EY); independent senior ERP work commands premium rates.
