The digital Stone Age

A company has 800 Crystal Reports and wants to recreate everything manually.

Old SAP world.

No longer really supported.

Plan:

Recreate everything manually in Power BI.

With seven people.

In nine months.

I just thought:

What decade are we living in?

Seven people for six to nine months.

Just to type out what already exists 1:1.

That’s not a transformation project.

That’s the digital Stone Age.

My estimate?

• Four weeks.
• Automated.
• With clean modeling and support from LLMs.

But that’s exactly where the problem lies:

Many people still think in terms of manpower.

Not in terms of systems.

I said right away:

Let’s make a fixed-price offer.

Because you can only win if you understand how automation really works.

Where do you automate in your company?
