The Problem
Inadequate multi-user/sales team access:
Competitor Landscape
- MuleSoft
- Boomi
- Syniti
- Workato
- Accenture/Big-4 migration services
- dbt/Databricks (data layer only)
Must-Have Features for MVP
Shadow mode replication with change data capture
Dual‑write sync with conflict policy engine
One‑click hot rollback and partial cutover
Schema/logic mapper with LLM‑assisted transformation suggestions
AI semantic layer (entities, events, vectors, lineage)
Production traffic replay for non‑disruptive validation
Parity dashboards and anomaly alerts
Prebuilt connectors for top ERPs and common satellites (WMS, MES, CPQ)
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Deep legacy customizations and undocumented fields
- On‑prem network constraints/VPNs
- Data residency and PII handling
- Change freezes limiting test windows
- ERP vendor API quotas
Risk Level: High
🎯 Keys to Success
- Zero or near‑zero downtime cutover
- 3x faster migration plans vs. consulting‑only approaches
- Verified KPI parity before switch
- Immediate AI pilot enablement on semantic layer
- Strong audit and lineage for compliance
