    By using ERP-CM, customers can scan their legacy ERP system code to find suitable applications to migrate onto the ServiceNow AI Platform. This replatforming process leverages ERP system data to build new apps that improve performance, enhance security, and reduce maintenance efforts. It enables innovation above the system of record without requiring deep knowledge of the legacy ERP system.

    ERP-CM also helps database administrators and developers by eliminating the need to manually create database views or endpoints in the legacy system, thereby freeing resources to focus on other critical projects such as migration.

    Key Features

    • Identification and ranking of application candidates from legacy ERP systems for replatforming.
    • Integration with the ServiceNow AI Platform to build new applications using ERP data.
    • Part of the App Engine for ERP products, complementing the Zero Copy Connector for ERP to accelerate ERP modernization.
    • Supports replatforming efforts by enabling innovation without requiring legacy system expertise.
    • Reduces manual work for database administrators and developers by automating discovery of ERP customizations.

    The ServiceNow® ERP Semantic Mining (ERP-CM) product enables Solution Integration consultants to find application candidates with customized code in their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. ERP-CM ranks the candidate suitability for replatforming onto the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    Zero Copy Connector for ERP and ERP Semantic Mining (ERP-CM) are App Engine for ERP products of ServiceNow. They help organizations modernize and orchestrate legacy code, complimenting processes and integrations that are underserved with the existing system of record, such as SAP. Together, Zero Copy Connector for ERP and ERP-CM make it faster and easier for you to build applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform using data from a legacy ERP system.

    Replatforming is the process of scanning legacy ERP system code to find potential candidates to move onto your ServiceNow AI Platform instance as new apps. You can use data from the ERP system as a source for apps built on the ServiceNow AI Platform, improving performance, enhancing security, and reducing maintenance.

    The replatforming of legacy code enables innovation on top of the system of record without knowledge of the legacy system. Database administrators and developers are then relieved of time-consuming efforts to create database views or endpoints in the system of record, freeing them to work on other projects, such as migration.
