A period of 18 to 24 months in a traditional roll-out is the reasonable time frame for a complete roll-out of an ERP implementation consisting of all the key modules. The process can be streamlined and optimized to incorporate best-of-breed, pre-integrated, and cloud base solutions in a shared eco-system model. The best-of-breed solutions focus on Ease of Onboarding, Ease of Integration, and Ease of Change Management, especially in the Supply Chain and Finance areas. The business doesn't have the luxury to wait for a long duration and expects a 3x to 4x faster roll-out to see immediate benefits and productivity improvements in 3 to 6 months. The system players who are able to solve the implementation timeline problems at a faster rate, will surely be a disruptor in the ERP implementation process.

High Priority: This is a critical need. We want to run AI/vector workloads on our primary transactional data without relying on a separate database or a specialized analytics add-on.7%

Medium Priority: This would be a valuable feature for future projects. It would allow us to innovate on our core database, but it's not an immediate requirement.59%

Low Priority: This is a nice-to-have, but not essential. Our primary focus for MySQL remains on its traditional OLTP performance and stability.17%

Not a Priority: This is not a good fit for MySQL. We believe vector workloads are fundamentally different and are best handled by a dedicated system, keeping our core MySQL lean.17%

Unsure / Need More Information: We are not yet clear on the performance, security, or operational impact of integrating this capability into our core transactional engine.
