Putting Agents on Top of Legacy Systems
You do not need to replace the ERP. Agents can sit on top of what you already run and fill the gaps between systems.
Every large company runs on systems that are older than some of their staff. The instinct is to replace them. That is a multi-year project with a high chance of going wrong.
A cheaper path
Most of the pain is not the old system itself. It is the manual work that happens between systems: copying a number from one screen to another, chasing an approval, reconciling two reports that never quite match.
Agents are good at exactly that. They sit on top of what you already run and handle the steps between the systems, without anyone ripping out the core.
How we approach it
- Leave the system of record alone.
- Automate the handoffs, not the whole platform.
- Keep a clear log of every action the agent takes.
Why it lands
You get results in weeks instead of years, and you avoid betting the business on one giant migration. When you do eventually replace the old system, the agents move with you.
