Replacing legacy ERP systems in public-sector programs is high-stakes, complex, and often delayed by misaligned strategy, regulatory constraints, and stakeholder fragmentation.
The situation this course is for
Public-sector ERP modernization initiatives frequently stall due to unclear governance, underestimation of data migration complexity, and lack of phased execution models. Projects face scrutiny from multiple oversight bodies, require strict compliance alignment, and must maintain service continuity throughout transition. Without a structured, field-tested replacement strategy, teams risk cost overruns, timeline slippage, and operational disruption.
Who this is for
Business and technology professionals in public-sector or regulated environments responsible for ERP modernization, digital transformation, IT strategy, or program governance.
Who this is not for
This course is not for individuals seeking introductory ERP overviews, certified software training, or technical configuration guides for specific platforms.
What you walk away with
- Apply a proven framework for assessing legacy ERP readiness and replacement feasibility
- Design a stakeholder-aligned transition roadmap with clear governance checkpoints
- Integrate compliance, security, and data integrity requirements from day one
- Execute phased migration with minimal service disruption using real-world templates
- Build long-term system sustainability and vendor management strategies
