According to Gartner, 50%+ of all ERP modernizations are over schedule and budget, the average budget overrun is 66%, and 70%+ fail to meet their original business goals. These outcomes stem from common root causes: stakeholder misalignment, missed requirements, inadequate change management, and late surprises requiring rework.
Axiamatic AI identifies hidden risks and enables proactive actions to address these root causes and assure that the ERP modernization program does not incur unwarranted costs and delays or miss business goals.
Axiamatic AI is comprised of:
- a proprietary knowledge base of the multi-level processes in SAP, Oracle, and Dynamics 365, built with the expertise of tenured consultants and proven through successful customer deployments
- a model of implementation-specific leading indicators of potential risks
- an extensive library of connectors to ingest an organization’s non-sensitive implementation data and project artifacts, and to connect with communication tools like Teams and Slack
- a self-learning platform with autonomous agents leveraging leading LLMs, with complete isolation across customers and the highest enterprise privacy and security controls
Key stakeholders like Program Management Office (PMO), Business Process Owners (BPO), Subject Matter Experts (SME), and Organizational Change Management Owners (OCM) get a Teams- or Slack-based Assistant. It proactively notifies them of issues needing their attention, tracks issues to closure, and takes conversational instructions from them to simplify their work.
Axiamatic AI runs in an autonomous loop, constantly monitoring progress, and interacting with key stakeholders through their Assistants. Where available, it connects with existing systems to continually ingest existing implementation artifacts such as business case documents, KDDs (Key Design Decision) documents, user stories, workshop recordings, meeting minutes, etc. It analyzes them to predictively identify leading indicators of risk and in real time engages with relevant stakeholders, recommends specific actions, and follows through to track issues to closure. By identifying and closing these issues early, it reduces delays, rework, and change management challenges.
Axiamatic comes with out-of-the-box reporting and dashboards for reviews by Stakeholders. At every step, Axiamatic provides a prompt interface (like ChatGPT’s chat interface), recommends situation-specific prompts, and responds to prompts from stakeholders to give them deep, contextualized insights.
