VEGAH sells ERP migration, upgrade and application managed services, plus contract and contract-to-hire technology talent, to US enterprises.

US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.

Who signs off on migration and upgrade work

An ERP version leaving mainstream support is a budget event, so it usually reaches the top of IT and finance together.

RoleWhat they ownWhy it reaches them
Chief Information Officer or VP of ITThe ERP roadmap and the partner choiceSigns the program and carries the risk if the cutover slips
Director of Enterprise Applications or ERPDay-to-day ownership of the ERP estateScopes the work, runs the shortlist and owns the custom code problem
CFO or VP of FinanceFinance systems and the maintenance budgetExtended support fees land on the finance line first
VP of Supply Chain or OperationsWarehouse, planning and order modulesTheir teams feel any disruption to shipping and production

Who signs off on managed services after go-live

When an organization moves its ERP to a hosted cloud edition, the vendor runs the infrastructure but the application work stays with the customer: code adjustments after upgrades, testing, transports, roles and performance tuning. The company's own site makes this case in detail.

That gap usually belongs to the Director of Enterprise Applications, with an Application Support Manager or ERP Manager running it and the CIO approving the ongoing support contract.

Who signs off on contract and staff augmentation

RoleWhen they buy

Where to start

Lead with the support calendar

The company's site already lays out which older ERP versions leave mainstream support at the end of 2026 and 2027. Outreach to the ERP lead in each group above, timed to the version they likely run, with the free two-week gap assessment as the one ask.

Go after recent hosted cloud go-lives

Organizations that recently moved to a hosted ERP edition get only a few days of vendor support after go-live. The site offers two to eight weeks of stabilization. A short note to the Director of Enterprise Applications on what they now own, and who covers it, fits that moment.

Use staffing as the first engagement

The site promises a curated shortlist within two to three days. For an IT Director or PMO lead with a program in flight, one placed consultant is a small yes, and it puts a team inside the program where the managed services conversation starts.

Built from public federal registries and the company's own website, counts banded deliberately.
