A $130B Market Defined by Failure

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) market is a paradox: massive growth plagued by "unparalleled negativity" and systemic, catastrophic failure.

The Monolithic Trap

Failures are a direct consequence of 40-year-old monolithic architecture. Traditional ERPs are "walled gardens" that trap data.

  • Crippling Data Silos Finance, HR, and Sales data locked in different systems. No single source of truth.
  • Spiraling Technical Debt Customizations are fragile and expensive, locking businesses into outdated tech.
  • Barrier to Innovation Monoliths cannot natively ingest IoT data or integrate with modern AI models.

The Market's Rebellion

Enterprises are demanding "Composable ERP"—modular, API-first "Lego bricks." This is a stampede away from the monolith.

The Old Guard's Fatal Flaw

Incumbents like SAP and Oracle are "Application-Centric." They lock data into proprietary silos, making true autonomous AI impossible.

Data-Native & Agentic

We invert the 40-year-old model. Instead of forcing data *into* a rigid app, Spectra is built *on top* of your open data cloud.

1. Composable Core

"Lego brick" architecture. Decoupled logic allows you to plug-and-play modules without "rip and replace."

2. Data-Native Layer

No migration. Spectra lives *inside* your Snowflake or federates via Starburst. Zero silos.

3. Agentic Brain

Autonomous Agents that execute complex workflows (e.g., ordering stock), not just passive copilots.

The AI Paradigm Shift

Copilot (The Old Way)

  • Function Assist (Human-in-the-loop)
  • Task "Draft an email."
  • Impact Faster manual work.

AI Agent (Spectra)

  • Function Act (Human-over-the-loop)
  • Goal "Resolve stock shortage."
  • Impact 40% faster processing.

The Unassailable Advantage

A 10x replacement solving the structural problems incumbents cannot fix.

Problem: Data Silos & Integration Hell

Incumbent Weakness

Traps data in proprietary databases. Requires costly ETL pipelines.

Spectra Solution

App lives *in* your data cloud. Zero migration. Zero silos.

Problem: Inflexibility & Rigidity

Incumbent Weakness

"One-size-fits-all." Customization breaks the system and creates debt.

Spectra Solution

Headless & Composable. Build any UI you want. Update modules independently.

Problem: Manual Workflows

Incumbent Weakness

Passive "System of Record." Humans do the work; AI just watches.

Spectra Solution

Autonomous "System of Action." Agents execute goals 40% faster.

Problem: High Cost & Risk

Incumbent Weakness

"Rip & Replace." Multi-year projects with 70% failure rate.

Spectra Solution

"Wedge" Strategy. No migration. Value in weeks, not years.

The "Trojan Horse" Strategy

We don't ask customers to rip out SAP. We ask them to augment it.

The "Rip & Replace" Pitch

  • Pitch "Replace your entire ERP."
  • Risk Catastrophic (70% fail)
  • TTV 2-3 Years

The Spectra "Wedge"

  • Pitch "Keep SAP. Add an Agent."
  • Risk Minimal (No migration)
  • TTV 2-4 Weeks
