You just received an end-of-support notice from your ERP publisher because you're three versions behind. To add insult to injury, you're forced to pay a premium surcharge for support. You know that upgrading an ERP is all-or-nothing: finance, inventory, orders, and the floor all change together or not at all.
Two real decisions in one. Do you stay with your current ERP publisher? Which version do you migrate to? We help you answer both.
Proslat had a 60-day window to move off NetSuite before a January 1 go-live, in the middle of their holiday season, with EDI links to Home Depot, Costco, Canadian Tire, and Amazon that could not go dark. We delivered the migration on time and on budget: more than 100 customizations and the integrations, all inside the 60-day window, with a hard call made up front about what had to be live on day one and what could follow after go-live. According to the customer's own benchmarking, migrations like this typically lose around 10% of sales during the transition. Proslat lost none.
The pressure of a date tempts teams to imagine moving in pieces: keep part of the old system, stand up part of the new one, buy time. An ERP doesn't work that way. It's the one system where everything has to agree with everything else every minute, and splitting it in two means running two systems badly while the deadline keeps coming. When the move happens, all of it moves.
So the choice isn't how much to move; it's which path. The two questions from the top (stay with your publisher or switch, and which release you land on) resolve into three honest paths: upgrade in place to a supported release from your current publisher, switch platforms outright, or buy extended support to make the room to do one of those properly. They share one ending, a single cutover, but differ enormously in risk, cost, and time along the way. And sometimes the honest answer is the third one: buy time so you aren't rushing an all-or-nothing move against a date you didn't set. We tell you plainly which your date allows.
The whole system moves; what varies is what you carry and what you leave behind. The Implementation Blueprint inventories what you've built: the customizations, the integrations, the data, and the compliance controls. It maps what carries forward cleanly, what needs a rebuild on the new release, and what only existed to patch a limitation the new release already solves. You get an integration architecture that shows the actual data flows and interface boundaries, plus a cutover plan with reconciliation, validation, rehearsals (timed mock cutovers, run until the data conversion fits the window), and a rollback trigger, all sized against your date. The plan also says, hour by hour, what happens to orders taken during the freeze and how open POs and work in progress come across. You commit to a path with the risks already on the table. The Blueprint itself is a fixed fee agreed before any work starts, and the plan is yours to keep whichever path you choose.
See how the Blueprint maps your migrationA migration that hits the deadline but leaves your team unable to maintain what changed isn't a win. We build the reconciliation and integration work so your people can run it, and we document what moved and why in runbooks your team owns, so the knowledge stays in your building. Anything you'd prefer we keep operating, we operate under an agreed scope. Most teams that run a Blueprint keep us on through the migration itself, for a reason an architect will recognize: the plan holds up under inspection.
No, and be careful with anyone who tells you otherwise. Finance, inventory, and orders have to agree with each other every minute; run half your business in each of two systems and they stop agreeing, with your deadline still coming. (Multi-site companies sometimes bring sites over in waves, but each site's move is still all at once. There is no version where one business runs half-migrated.) What can be staged is the work around the move: data cleanup, integration rebuilds, training, and the rehearsals, all before the one cutover.
It depends on the path. An in-place upgrade preserves most of your build. A cross-generation or cross-platform move rebuilds more, and some customizations shouldn't come at all, because they only papered over a limitation the new release solves. The Blueprint tells you which is which before you commit, so you're not discovering it mid-project against a deadline.
Different projects, same ending: one cutover where the whole business moves. A migration takes you to a newer release from the publisher you already run and preserves most of your build. A replacement moves you to a different publisher's platform and rebuilds more. We'll say plainly which one your deadline allows, and we don't inflate a migration into a replacement.
Yes, by design. We treat the compliance controls and their traceability as things that must move intact, and we plan the cutover so there's no window where the audit trail breaks. Compliance continuity is a requirement we design to from the first planning session.
A fixed fee, agreed before any work starts. The deadline changes the sequencing of the work, and the fee stays where it was agreed. Fee details are on the Implementation Blueprint page. And whichever path the date allows, the plan is yours to keep.
Sometimes waiting is the right call, and extended support is a legitimate way to buy room for a safer move. We'll lay out what each path costs and risks so the decision is yours, made on real numbers and your own calendar.
Because the cutover is rehearsed before it's real. The plan is sequenced against your deadline before you commit, the reconciliation steps and the rollback trigger are named in advance, and go-live is a decision made on evidence from those rehearsals. Proslat is the short version: a 60-day window, a hard go-live, zero lost sales.
The deadline isn't going to move, and when the move comes, it comes all at once. What you can still choose is the path and how well-rehearsed that day is. Thirty minutes gives you a straight read on whether you're facing an upgrade, a replacement, or a case for extended support, and what it takes to hit the date safely. No commitment.
