Why Legacy Systems Fall Behind
Static Architecture
Legacy procurement suites operate on monolithic frameworks designed decades ago, with patchwork updates that create technical debt and fragmented user experiences.
Limited Adaptability
Traditional systems struggle with modern procurement demands, lacking the flexibility to accommodate changing compliance requirements and evolving business processes.
Integration Challenges
Older systems rely on complex integrations that frequently break during updates, creating data silos and requiring specialized technical expertise to maintain.
The Architecture Advantage
