Practice 02 · ERP and Application Modernisation
ERP modernisation strategy, legacy and custom-code modernisation, extension rationalisation and cloud transition, across ERP platforms and the applications around them. Clean core and decoupled extensions by default, so the upgrade path stays open.
What we deliver
For enterprises that cannot afford a second go-live: every change has a contract before code and a read-back check after it runs.
Greenfield, conversion or selective transition, chosen against your landscape, data and calendar rather than a template.
Deliverablesoptions analysis, target architecture, transition plan, business case inputs.
Every modification inventoried: retire it, replace it with standard, or move it to a decoupled extension. The core stays upgradeable.
Deliverablesextension register, disposition per object, remediation backlog.
What breaks when the core changes: custom objects, interfaces, reports and data, ranked by impact.
Deliverablesrisk register by object and interface, test scope, remediation estimate.
Monoliths broken along business capabilities and replaced in stages, with data migrated and reconciled at each one.

When this matters
End of support or end of maintenance is approaching
A heavily customised core makes every upgrade a project
Several ERP instances after mergers or regional roll-outs
An upgrade has stalled or failed
A legacy application still carries a critical process
A move to a cloud subscription is on the table
Checklist
24 questions to ask before your next ERP integration or extension project: contract, error handling, read-back, transport, ownership.
We are vendor-neutral. We design for the platform you run or the one you choose, and our recommendations are not tied to any vendor.
All of them: public cloud, private cloud, managed cloud subscriptions and on-premise. Clean core is our default on every one, because it keeps the upgrade path open.
Standard where standard fits, extensions decoupled from the core through published interfaces, and a register of every modification with its owner and its reason.
For repeatable objects: mapping specifications, scaffolds, tests and runbooks. Every artefact is reviewed by an architect before it reaches your landscape, and no transport or production change is ever left to a model.
Next step
An Architecture Assessment includes an upgrade-risk view of custom code, extensions and interfaces.
