Why firms make the move
Legacy ERP should not slow down your next stage of growth.
Many GovCons do not switch because they want another back-office project. They switch because the old way makes every decision harder: too many exports, too much manual reconciliation, and too little real-time confidence.
What switchers are usually trying to escape
- Project managers waiting on finance reports before they can act.
- Finance teams closing the books with too many spreadsheets and workarounds.
- Executives seeing pipeline, project, and margin data that does not line up.
- Compliance preparation that feels like a scramble instead of a normal workflow.
- Low adoption because the system is too hard for everyday users to use confidently.

Unanet is built for GovCons that want Costpoint-grade control without Costpoint-style friction.
