Modernize legacy systems to unlock business growth

A few years ago, businesses faced a simple software dilemma: build or buy? Today, the question has evolved. In a world where legacy systems meet cutting-edge tools, innovation lies in a hybrid approach: buy, build, and customize. At Twistag, we’ve seen companies extend enterprise systems like Oracle, SAP, and Salesforce with composable architectures, AI, and low-code platforms. This strategy transforms legacy tools into tailored solutions that align with strategic goals. In this post, we’ll show how businesses maximize ROI, bridge gaps, and innovate smarter. Ready to turn legacy systems into competitive advantages? Let’s dive in.

1. Maximizing ROI by tailoring tools

Legacy systems represent significant investments, but they rarely fit like a glove. Instead of replacing them outright - a costly and risky endeavor - forward-thinking businesses are customizing these tools to align with their unique workflows.

For example, Twistag helped a manufacturing client achieve a 15% efficiency gain within six months by integrating AI-driven automation into their existing ERP system. This approach transformed a “good enough” tool into a high-performing asset that directly supported their strategic goals.

By squeezing more value out of existing tech stacks, companies ensure that every dollar spent delivers measurable results, whether that’s increased efficiency, improved customer experiences, or more agile operations.

2. Bridging gaps with composable architecture

Enterprise systems were never designed to work seamlessly together, leading to silos, inefficiencies, and bottlenecks. But with composable architectures and AI-driven automation, businesses can now:

• Seamlessly integrate disparate systems for end-to-end visibility.
• Enable workflows that weren’t possible before.
• Deliver intuitive, user-friendly interfaces for employees and customers alike.

Imagine a global retail company using a legacy e-commerce platform. By layering on AI-powered chatbots and recommendation engines, they tailored the customer experience and drove a 12% increase in online sales. Composable architectures let businesses modernize incrementally, avoiding the disruption of full-system replacements.

3. Innovate without reinventing the wheel

Customizing enterprise solutions no longer means sky-high costs or vendor lock-in.

Low-code platforms, APIs, and advanced AI tools now empower businesses to innovate rapidly.

At Twistag, we’ve seen firsthand how tailored automation layers built on top of existing CRMs allow sales teams to work 20% faster, without requiring a platform overhaul.

This balance of practicality and innovation ensures that companies can:

• Adapt quickly to changing markets.
• Innovate without disrupting core operations.
• Avoid the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all solutions.

Adapt software to fit your business, not the other way around

Modern businesses succeed by aligning technology with their unique goals. This hybrid approach of buying, building, and customizing is especially critical as organizations grapple with legacy systems. Replacing these systems outright is often too costly, time-consuming, and disruptive. By layering tailored solutions on top of them, companies can modernize, innovate, and extract maximum value, without the need for a complete overhaul.

Is your business unlocking the full potential of its tools?

Ask yourself:

1. Are your systems fully aligned with your strategic goals?
2. Are you leveraging AI and modular solutions to drive innovation?
3. Are your tools flexible enough to keep up with market demands?

If you’re answering “no” to any of these, it’s time to rethink your approach to technology. AI and composable architectures have made modernization faster and more accessible than ever.
