From AI-ready to AI-activated manufacturing data.
Legacy ERP, MES, and IIoT data archived under CMMC-ready governance doesn't have to sit siloed on the plant floor. Solix operates both ends of the journey on the same governed data — nothing moves, nothing is re-governed, to get from readiness to activation.
Stage 1 · AI-Ready
CDP · EDG
Legacy ERP, mainframe, and M&A-inherited systems retired and preserved, MES and IIoT/historian data governed, and Controlled Unclassified Information protected and CMMC/NIST 800-171-ready — the foundation auditors and contracting officers expect before any AI initiative starts.
Stage 2 · AI-Activated
Data Lake Plus · Data Sense
That same governed ERP, MES, and IIoT data activates as the input for predictive maintenance and quality AI models — turning decades of plant-floor and enterprise data into an asset instead of a liability.
Four use cases driving Solix engagements.
Legacy ERP & mainframe retirement
Custom-built mainframe ERP and systems inherited through M&A decommissioned, with governed historical access preserved for compliance and business users alike.
Archiving ahead of SAP/S4HANA migration
Database archiving reduces ERP footprint before migration, cutting both cost and timeline — a documented lever, not just post-cutover cleanup.
CMMC & NIST 800-171 CUI protection
Data Masking and Sensitive Data Discovery identify and protect Controlled Unclassified Information in scope for CMMC Level 2 assessment, with EDG providing the audit trail.
IT/OT data unification for predictive AI
Data Lake Plus unifies ERP, MES, and IIoT/historian data as the governed foundation Data Sense turns into predictive maintenance and quality models.
Built for manufacturing's regulatory reality.
CMMC Level 2 readiness
Controlled Unclassified Information identified and protected ahead of the shift to mandatory third-party C3PAO assessment for CMMC Level 2 contracts, effective November 2026.
NIST 800-171 controls
EDG provides the policy enforcement and audit trail assessors expect for the security controls governing CUI handling across plants and business units.
SAP/S4HANA migration governance
Archiving scoped and executed alongside migration, reducing footprint, cost, and risk before cutover — not treated as an afterthought.
Multi-plant & M&A data residency
Jurisdiction- and plant-specific retention policies applied automatically across systems inherited through mergers and acquisitions.
Proven at industrial scale.
Two Fortune 500 industrial engagements show the pattern: legacy ERP and mainframe systems retired at scale, without losing the historical access compliance and the business depend on.
75+
Applications retired from mergers and acquisitions in one Fortune 500 industrial manufacturer engagement spanning 60 countries and 50,000+ employees.
25+
Global legacy systems — including SAP ECC — consolidated onto a single governed archiving platform in that same engagement.
