The Migration Trap: Choose
Wrong, Pay Forever

Greenfield vs. Brownfield vs. Hybrid—one choice will save you millions. The others will haunt you for years.

The path you choose—Greenfield or Brownfield—will determine your project success.

Greenfield (start fresh): Sounds appealing until you realize you’re redesigning every process, retraining every user, and migrating every piece of data.

Brownfield (convert in place): Sounds safe until you realize you’re dragging forward every bad customization, technical debt, and inefficient processes you’ve accumulated over decades.

Here’s the truth: Most organizations guess. Or worse, they let consultants sell them whatever’s most profitable. You can’t afford to guess.
