I'm someone who works on mature products in this space. The biggest mistake that people make is they assume that the slow, clunky old fashioned systems that current organisations use are easy to replace. They are nearly always wrong. This is great for me, because I get customers apologetically coming back to me after converting to whatever the ERP de jour is has failed.

If an organisation is using an actively developed custom system that is decades old, then you will need decades of development to replace it. This should be obvious, but I can already feel many people reading this shaking their heads in disagreement.

I think there are opportunities to augmentate the behavior of those old systems that can be a business/Saas. Not using the built in ERP crap but something new that integrates with the dinosaur ERP.
