Migrating from Legacy IWMS: Key Decisions, Routes, and Considerations in the Age of AI
Join Verdantix and Nakisa for a candid discussion on what it takes to modernize a legacy IWMS. Explore why organizations are re-evaluating existing platforms, what an AI-era IWMS looks like in practice, and the five realistic paths to modernization.
Why attend this webinar
58% of firms expect to increase spending on IWMS and connected portfolio platforms over the next year, and 49% have already invested in a new software provider because of AI capabilities.

As organizations accelerate technology investments and AI becomes a key driver of software decisions, the challenge is to navigate this shift strategically, prioritize the right investments, and set realistic expectations for business outcomes.
During this 1-hour session, we will cover:
Why the IWMS market is being re-evaluated now: the change in business requirements, technology environment, and market structure.
What a modern, AI-first IWMS actually offers: the layers that turn a system of record into a system of action: unified data, integration depth, decision intelligence, and where AI is credibly useful today rather than still in pilot.
How to assess the economics of modernization: weighing the cost of remaining on a legacy IWMS against the ROI, risk reduction, and operational upside of migrating to a modern platform.
The five routes to modernization available: Modernization isn't all or nothing. We'll break down the five options and how to choose the one that best fits your needs.
What it means for you: the practical implications for enterprise occupiers, service providers and implementation consultants.
