Across the US, companies are realizing that their ERP systems are becoming more expensive, less reliable, and harder to secure. These systems still run, but they no longer match current operating demands.
The cost of maintaining legacy ERP now rises faster than the value it delivers.
Aging ERP systems require constant patching, custom support, manual work, and expensive hardware. Most organizations now spend more to maintain these systems than to modernize.
Cyber threats are increasing, and insurers are tightening their requirements. Legacy ERP systems that no longer receive updates are considered high-risk environments. One unpatched vulnerability can lead to material business disruption.
The professionals who support older ERP systems are retiring from these roles. Companies then depend on high-cost contractors and undocumented knowledge.
Businesses need real-time visibility, scalable infrastructure, and integration with automation, analytics, and AI. Legacy ERP does not support these needs without adding complexity and higher operating costs.
By 2026, several pressures will hit at the same time:
Waiting until these pressures hit forces rushed projects and a higher risk. Preparing now creates room for planning, phasing, and proven delivery.
The organizations that modernize successfully take a measured, structured approach:
Start with an assessment.
A clear view of your current environment shapes the right plan.
Modernize in phases.
This maintains business continuity and reduces risk.
Simplify the system.
Removing outdated customizations and rebuilding integrations enables long-term scalability.
Tie each phase to a measurable outcome.
Efficiency, cost reduction, performance, and visibility guide the decision-making process.
This approach positions companies to enter 2026 with a stronger and more agile operating platform.
