ERP Modernization Services

Legacy ERPs turn market leaders into market followers. Slowly, expensively, inevitably.

The Hidden Bleeding Costs

• $2.8-4.1M annually for mid-size companies in maintenance and inefficiencies (Source: Deloitte, 2024)
• 55% of IT budgets consumed just keeping old systems alive (Source: Deloitte Study, 2024)
• 30-40% longer time-to-market versus modern competitors (Source: Industry Analysis, 2024)
• 70% of ERP implementations will fail to meet business goals by 2027 (Source: Gartner, 2025)

Common Scenarios We See Daily:

• Your finance team closes books 5 days late because data from 3 systems won't reconcile
• A critical supplier integration that should take days has taken 6 months (and counting)
• Your best developer just quit - they're tired of maintaining COBOL code from 1995
• The CEO asks for real-time sales data; you hand them a 3-day-old Excel export
• A simple price update requires IT tickets, 4 approvals, and 2 weeks of waiting

Will ERP Modernization disrupt our operations during implementation?

No. We use a phased pilot approach specifically to avoid disruption. We start with one department, perfect the process, then expand. Your business keeps running while we modernize around it.

What's the real timeline and cost of ERP Modernization?

First value in 90 days, full implementation in 9-12 months. Investment ranges from $500K-$5M depending on company size. Compare that to $2-7M annual cost of doing nothing.

Why not use a big consulting firm like Accenture or Deloitte for ERP Modernization?

They're excellent at basic cloud migrations. We're AI specialists who modernize ERPs. The difference? They move your problems to the cloud. We solve them with intelligence.

Our IT team says we're "not ready for AI yet", are they right?

They're protecting you from bad AI implementations. Smart. That's why we build AI-ready architecture first, then add intelligence gradually. You control the pace.

What if we've already failed one ERP implementation?

You're in good company, 55-75% fail. We've rescued 8 failed implementations. The difference? We deliver value every 90 days, not all at once after 18 months.

How do you handle our existing customizations and integrations?

We map everything in Week 1. Critical customizations get modernized. Outdated ones get replaced with better solutions. Every integration is rebuilt to be maintainable.

What about data migration and quality issues during ERP Modernization?

Our AI-powered migration tools catch issues before they become problems. We've migrated 500TB+ of enterprise data with 99.9% accuracy. Your data gets cleaner, not messier.

Can we exit if it's not working?

Yes. Our phased approach means you can stop after any 90-day phase. You keep all documentation, code, and improvements. No vendor lock-in.

What if our industry has specific compliance requirements?

We've modernized ERPs in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and government. Our team includes compliance specialists for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and industry-specific regulations.

How do we measure success and ROI of ERP Modernization?

We establish KPIs in Week 1: processing time, error rates, cost per transaction. Weekly dashboards track progress. Most clients see 20-40% improvements by Day 90.
