Use ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM) to identify potential ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) app candidates for replatforming.
Replatforming is the process of scanning legacy ERP system code to find potential candidates to move onto your Now Platform instance as new apps. You can use data from the ERP system as a source for apps built on the Now Platform, improving performance, enhancing security, and reducing maintenance.
- A high potential indicates that ERP-CM can immediately use remote tables and extraction tables that match the ERP model for the application candidate without making additional changes.
- A low potential indicates that the application candidate matches few of the remote tables and extraction tables in the ERP models in ERP Canvas.
Currently, good candidates for replatforming tend to be smaller applications that read from the system of record but don't write to it.
If you delete a candidate from ERP-CM, it will automatically reappear the next time the ERP system is scanned. Instead of deleting candidates, use the Save as potential candidate feature to organize your candidates.
If ERP-CM shows that a candidate has a number of similar candidates, consider building one app that meets the needs of some or all similar candidates when you replatform.
