Replacing a 20-Year-Old ERP

The brief

A manufacturer runs a heavily customized 20-year-old ERP that no vendor will support past three years. Finance, supply chain, and production all depend on it, and prior 'big-bang' replacement attempts at peer firms have failed spectacularly. The board wants a modernization recommendation: replace, re-platform, or wrap-and-extend — with a credible plan that doesn't bet the company.
