An 8-Year ERP Project Reduced to 2-Years with AI

The Legacy System Trap

Organizations relying on legacy ERPs face a painful choice:

• Vendor ERPs (SAP/Oracle): Multi-million-dollar fees
• Custom builds: 6–10 year timelines

One client faced an 8-year estimate for a custom ERP. Scrums.com offered a third path.

The Problem: Sobering Timelines

The outdated, non-English codebase created delays at every step; manual discovery, documentation, and boilerplate coding inflated the timeline to nearly a decade.

Our Approach: Re-Engineering the SDLC

We deployed our Software Engineering Orchestration Platform (SEOP) and AI Agent Gateway to:

• Automate discovery + documentation (hours → minutes)
• Generate Jira-ready tickets with full specs
• Automate 90% of boilerplate code
• Improve onboarding + sprint velocity with AI-powered context

This wasn’t just agile, it was AI-accelerated DevOps. Explore our SEOP to streamline your DevOps

The Results: 8 Years to 2

• Timeline: 8 years → 2 years
• Discovery/Docs: 80% effort saved
• Modules delivered: AI teams: 56 vs non-AI: 48 in same timeframe
• Onboarding: Faster, with AI-generated documentation
