# Replace BW-Classic with NovaERP, hosted in a Swiss data centre

Decided on 09.03.2026 in [[sources/2026-03-09-erp-migration-kick-off|ERP migration kick-off]].

## Why

- the old server is out of support and only one external developer still knows the BW-Classic code.
- NovaERP covers production, purchasing and finance in one system, so month-end closing should drop from four days to one.

## Project

- [[projects/erp-migration|ERP migration]]

## People

- [[people/martina-keller|Martina Keller]], CEO
- [[people/sandra-meier|Sandra Meier]], CFO
- [[people/reto-ammann|Reto Ammann]], Head of IT
- [[people/lukas-brunner|Lukas Brunner]], Head of Production
- [[people/elena-rossi|Elena Rossi]], Head of Purchasing
