With multiple moving parts, a multi-site CloudSuite rollout has complexity built into every stage. But with the right foundations in place, that complexity can be scaled with confidence. Today, we are looking back at Fortude’s keynote session at the M3 User Association UK Annual Conference 2026, where Poshitha Ratnayake, Head of Consulting – EU & UK, joined Ines Ashton, Digital & AI Strategy Director (CIO), at The Compleat Food Group, to share an honest, in-progress story of multi-site CloudSuite transformation. The session unpacked five key lessons for scaling CloudSuite confidently across multiple sites.

"Most organizations are currently using AI for incremental productivity gains, such as copilots and automation, rather than achieving meaningful, business-wide transformation..."

Reflecting on a standout moment from the M3 User Association UK Annual Conference 2026, where Fortude took to the keynote stage alongside The Compleat Food Group to share their multi-site CloudSuite implementation story. The session brought together Ines Ashton, Digital & AI Strategy Director (CIO), The Compleat Food Group, and Poshitha Ratnayake, Head of Consulting – EU & UK, Fortude, for an honest conversation about the challenges, decisions, and outcomes of their cloud transformation journey. Here are three key takeaways: 1. Standardize first, localize only when it truly matters – One global template, designed once and reused across sites, is the foundation of a scalable rollout. 2. Treat data migration as a business activity – Migrating multiple sites is complex; clear ownership and early mock migrations are what make the process manageable and build confidence. 3. Governance done right keeps things moving – A clear model, where the customer owns business decisions and the partner owns delivery, creates the transparency needed to scale with confidence. The Compleat Food Group’s Laura Dillon, ERP System Lead; Sam Creasey, Head of Platforms; and David Cave, Head of IT, also stopped by to connect with Fortude’s Janindu De Silva, Chief Operating Officer – EU & UK, and Ranika Amarasena, Associate Vice President – Customer Success, EU & UK. Stay tuned - we will be sharing a full session recap and a deeper look at what it really takes to achieve a successful multi-site CloudSuite rollout. #DeliveringDigitalSolutionsThatMatter #M3UA #InforM3 #CloudSuite #DigitalTransformation

AI is taking center stage but that doesn't mean automation has become an afterthought. In fact, the opposite is true. RPA remains the backbone of AI-driven finance operations and when combined with Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) and Agentic Process Automation (APA), it becomes the foundation for smarter, more connected workflows across the finance function. In our latest blog, we break down how these technologies work together, and bring it to life with a real-world success story from Fortude.
