## Short answer

Modernize legacy ERP systems with AI. Gradual transformation from BPCS, MAPICS, BAAN, and other legacy systems to modern Infor cloud ERP.

## Category

migration

## Content

**Intro:** Thousands of manufacturers still run legacy ERP systems—BPCS, MAPICS, BAAN IV, JD Edwards, or heavily customized early versions of SyteLine and LN. These systems work but can't support modern manufacturing requirements. Netray provides an AI-accelerated path to modernization.

**Sections:**

#### The Legacy ERP Trap

**Body:** Legacy ERP systems become increasingly expensive and risky over time. Technical talent retires, vendor support diminishes, integration with modern systems requires expensive middleware, and the gap between capabilities and requirements widens every year.

**Bullets:**

- Legacy ERP maintenance costs increasing 10-15% annually
- Technical talent pool shrinking 20% per year for legacy systems
- Integration costs for legacy systems 3-5x higher than modern platforms
- Security vulnerabilities in unsupported software platforms

#### AI-Accelerated Modernization Path

**Body:** Netray's modernization agents assess your legacy environment, map custom functionality to modern equivalents, automate data transformation, and provide a phased migration roadmap that minimizes business disruption. We've modernized BPCS, MAPICS, BAAN, and JDE environments.

**Bullets:**

- Automated legacy system analysis and capability mapping
- Custom code assessment with modern equivalent recommendations
- Phased migration roadmap with risk-scored milestones
- Parallel running support with AI-driven reconciliation

#### Modernization Outcomes

**Body:** Manufacturers completing AI-assisted modernization reduce ERP operating costs 40-60%, eliminate security vulnerabilities, and gain access to modern AI capabilities. A steel fabricator modernized from BAAN IV to Infor LN in 9 months, saving $2.8M in annual operating costs.
