What is legacy modernization?

Legacy modernization is the process of updating legacy systems to meet the demands of modern business processes and technologies. The goal is to free up IT resources, increase system functionality, and improve end user experience. Modernizing legacy enterprise software can also help your business reduce costs and minimize security risks.

When should I extend my legacy ERP system with an EAP?

Consider extending your ERP if its core functions still perform as needed, but you'd like to add even more capabilities. Extending allows you to upgrade your ERP without incurring technical debt—a common side effect of customizing legacy software. This modernization approach can help you avoid a rip-and-replace project and create positive momentum for digital transformation.

When should I consider legacy migration?

If you want to modernize the apps and processes surrounding your legacy ERP without changing its core functionality, legacy migration could be the answer. It’s also a great option for those looking to abandon underutilized solutions and consolidate their SaaS contracts. This is because legacy migration allows you to rebuild vital applications on a single, cloud-based platform.

When should I replace my legacy ERP system?

Sometimes, the most mission-critical business problems are found at the core. If primary functions like your finance system are causing most of your issues, an ERP replacement might be in your best interest. Another sign is if your existing systems are consistently experiencing outages and hindering productivity. Lastly, if your business model has changed drastically since you implemented your legacy system, and modernizing the system to support those changes would not be possible, replacing it may be the best option.
