Greenfield vs. Brownfield vs. Hybrid—one choice will save you millions. The others will haunt you for years.
The Migration Trap: Choose
Wrong, Pay Forever
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.
