Switch to a New ERP Now, Because the Situation in the Mid-Market is Clear
A recent market observation shows that about two-thirds of mid-sized manufacturing companies in Germany have replaced their ERP system in the past two years. The reasons are similar across many businesses: The technical condition of existing systems is deteriorating. Updates are becoming more expensive. Support is expiring. Workarounds consume time and money.
At the same time, market requirements are shifting faster than the old platforms can keep up. New manufacturing concepts, increasing product variety, digital services, and higher documentation requirements are almost impossible to manage efficiently with evolved, isolated solutions.
Decision-makers report spending more budget today on managing their legacy software than on genuine improvements. This is precisely the tipping point where switching becomes more economical than maintaining the status quo.
The Problem of Outdated ERP Systems is Underestimated
Outdated ERP solutions not only cause technical risks but also hinder day-to-day operations. The consequences are evident in several areas:
The situation is similar in production: Bills of materials and work schedules change more frequently. Variant manufacturers must configure faster. Without modern data models and automation, production planning becomes a permanent construction site.
Why the Right Time is NOW
Many ERP systems still running today will reach their technical or economic end in 2027. Manufacturers are reducing maintenance or discontinuing product lines.
In addition, regulatory requirements demand further modernization. SMEs are therefore faced with a simple calculation: Is it worth financing an old system for three more years, or is a planned switch now more economically sensible?
Those who prepare the switch today gain:
TITAN as a Practical Solution for SMEs
TITAN was developed specifically for mid-sized manufacturing companies and has been in stable use for many years. The solution covers all commercial processes, including sales, purchasing, production, warehouse, shipping, financial accounting, and controlling.
The modular structure is based on over 1,800 apps from the AppsWarehouse. This keeps the system flexible and easily adaptable—without the maintenance overhead of many isolated solutions.
Attractively Priced and Technically Clearly Structured
TITAN is calculable for SMEs. The platform has a lean structure, remains functionally deep, and can be introduced without rigid large-corporate structures.
Variant Specialist for Mechanical and Plant Engineering
A core feature is sustainable variant management. Companies can precisely map their product diversity while reducing the part master by up to 50 percent. This saves time in engineering, improves production planning, and reduces error rates.
Quickly Understandable and Safe in Operation
The user interfaces are consistent and run on desktop or web. Users quickly find their way around, which facilitates introduction and shortens training times.
Proven Quality – Confirmed by Practice
A clear statement comes from StratOz GmbH:
"For more than 17 years, classix has provided us with highly flexible IT and business patterns for the design and development of systematic integration solutions. These patterns are templates for our agile projects and language elements for dialogue with our customers."
– Dipl.-Ing. Christian Kupka, Founder and Managing Director
This feedback demonstrates how solid and stable the technical foundation of TITAN is.
Conclusion
Switching to a new ERP is not a risk but a strategic decision. Many SMEs are already in the process of replacing their outdated systems with modern platforms. TITAN offers a tried-and-tested, economical solution for this.
Companies gain stability, predictable costs, and software that fully maps their processes. The technology is quickly deployable, remains flexible, and reduces the long-term effort for maintenance and coordination between different tools.

The Problem of Outdated ERP Systems is Underestimated
Outdated ERP solutions not only cause technical risks but also hinder day-to-day operations. The consequences are evident in several areas:
- Rising internal effort for master data maintenance
- Poorly integrated software landscapes
- Shadow Excel files because the system reaches its limits
- High dependence on individual key users
- Increasing downtime and error rates
The situation is similar in production: Bills of materials and work schedules change more frequently. Variant manufacturers must configure faster. Without modern data models and automation, production planning becomes a permanent construction site.

Those who prepare the switch today gain:
- More planning certainty
- Lower implementation costs
- Low-risk migration
- Significantly lower subsequent costs
