What Our Experts Say

Dmytro Chudov CEO & CTO
Every ERP migration plan we write begins with an integration map and a data quality report, before timeline and budget are ever considered. Integrations are what break during cutover, not the ERP data. Problems in data quality, if discovered mid-project, will add more cost and time than the initial data quality report would ever have taken. If problems are revealed in either an integration map or a data quality report, then schedule and budget are adjusted before even starting out. A week of upfront work saves months of rework after a failed go-live.

Industries

Manufacturing industry Manufacturing industry

Production planning, Bill of Materials, and shop floor integration are key components of ERP systems in the manufacturing domain. These systems are migrated in the same way as the MES and IoT systems.

Logistics and transportation industry Logistics and transportation industry

Modules such as warehouse management, freight billing, and carrier integration in legacy ERP systems are migrated with special consideration for the need to maintain real-time data and third-party logistics platform integration.

Retail industry Retail industry

Modules such as inventory management, order management, and supplier integration in legacy ERP systems are migrated with special consideration for the need to validate the performance of the system under peak loads.

Financial industry Financial industry

Modules such as financial ledger, accounts payable, and regulatory reporting in legacy ERP systems must be migrated with complete transactional integrity and audit trails. This validation phase is considered a formal step in the overall process.

Healthcare industry Healthcare industry

ERP systems in the healthcare domain handle business functions such as procurement, HR, and financials in addition to clinical systems integration.

Education industry Education industry

The student information system, finance module, and HR module in education institutions are migrated with consideration of the constraints posed by the academic calendar.

Public Sector Public Sector
Public Sector

Government organizations run their ERP systems with various procurement and compliance constraints. These constraints are considered during the migration planning phase. In addition, public sector data handling standards and validation processes are longer in comparison to other industries.

Travel and hospitality industry Travel and hospitality industry

The reservation management module, revenue accounting module, and supplier payment module in the legacy ERP systems used in the travel and hospitality industry are migrated with consideration of the seasonal pattern of the business and the continuity of the GDS and channel manager integrations.

Construction Construction
Construction

The costing module, subcontractor management module, and equipment tracking module in the construction industry’s ERP systems have various dependencies in terms of procurement and financial reporting. These dependencies are mapped during the audit phase, and validation is done against the target platform.

Why Do Legacy ERP Modernization?

Vendor end-of-life deadlines
SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ends in 2027, and extended maintenance will be available until 2030 for a fee. Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 has already ended its premier support release in 2017. Companies using these versions have a deadline to migrate. However, migrating on the company's time schedule is less disruptive and cost-effective than migrating due to the vendor's end-of-life deadline.
Licensing and infrastructure cost
ERP licenses for on-premise infrastructure have a fixed cost every year, regardless of usage. Cloud-based ERP systems will have a cost proportional to the usage. Companies with varying workloads or plans to expand will benefit in the long term by using a cloud deployment.
Integration debt
Integrations done using file-based integration tools like file watchers, SOAP services, or proprietary middleware tools like TIB/Rendezvous or Progress OpenEdge have become costly to maintain. Modern ERP systems offer RESTful APIs and support popular event streaming protocols.
Reporting and analytics debt
The legacy ERP system was not designed with the reporting requirements of modern businesses in mind. Modern businesses need real-time reporting or at least the ability to extract data for reporting tools. Modern ERP systems offer real-time data access.
Talent availability
Finding the right talent with expertise in ABAP code for old versions of SAP or Oracle Forms or custom codebases of old ERP systems is becoming increasingly difficult. Each year of delay in the upgrade process puts the organization at risk of losing the institutional knowledge required to support the system.
Customization debt
ERP systems undergo significant changes in their codebase over the years. Upgrades require reworking customizations done over the years. At some point, the number of customizations done over the years makes it prohibitively expensive to upgrade the system. This is why many organizations end up using outdated versions of the system. Upgrading is the perfect time to clean up the codebase.

FAQ

What is the difference between the migration and the upgrade of an ERP system? Answer
The difference between the two processes is that in the case of an upgrade, the organization upgrades its existing system to a newer version of the same system, keeping the customizations and data in place. In the case of migration, the organization moves its system from one platform to another, for instance, from an on-premise-based SAP ECC system to a cloud-based SAP S/4HANA system.
Can you migrate only a part of the ERP system? Answer
Yes. Module replacement, where finance, HR, and/or procurement are replaced with a new system while other modules are retained, is an acceptable approach for organizations where a full system migration cannot be completed in one project. We analyze the integration dependencies between modules before recommending this approach.
How do you handle years of historical data? Answer
The scope of historical data migration is project-related. If historical data migration is to be done, it will add to the project cost and duration. One approach is to migrate open transactions and a defined period of historical data to the new system and then store the historical data in a read-only data store.
What is the process with integrations during the migration process? Answer
The integrations are audited and documented during the audit process. The dependent systems will be executed against the old ERP system until the new system is validated during the migration process. The integrations will be rebuilt in the staging environment prior to the cutover process. It is not recommended to cutover the ERP system and then attempt to rebuild the integrations at the same time. This is one of the main reasons why ERP go-lives fail.
How long will the ERP system migration process take? Answer
The time required will vary depending on the ERP system's size, the number of customizations required, and the number of integrations. A focused module migration will require two to four months. A full mid-sized ERP system will require four to nine months. A large enterprise-level ERP system with extensive customizations and multiple dependent systems will require nine to eighteen months or more. The above table shows the range of ERP system migration costs and time required.
Is it just on the ERP itself, or is it just on the migration infrastructure? Answer
Both. We work on the ERP application layer, which is ABAP for SAP, PL/SQL for Oracle, custom code for homegrown systems, as well as the migration infrastructure, which is ETL, data validation, etc.
