How do we replace an expensive, outdated business application without a multi-year IT project?
For Executives, IT and finance leaders
In short
The business unit describes the new application itself and helps build it step by step, instead of writing a specification for a tender. AI agents build the data model, workflows, permissions and reports; IT reviews and approves. Within weeks you have a successor that fits your own process.

The situation
A finance department managed entities, payment flows, fees and banking transactions in a legacy application and in spreadsheets. The data feeds accounting, mistakes are expensive – and so was running the old solution.
The solution with Creavity
With Creavity, it got a complete business application:
- master data for entities, contacts and bank accounts
- workflows with approval and locking logic
- permissions by region and a complete change log
- standard reports and a custom report builder
- bulk import and a daily exchange-rate feed
The result
The application is in production and classified as business-critical. It took one month from project start to the request for production. The business unit expects six-figure savings in running costs per year compared with the legacy application.
From a real project on Creavity, described in general terms: no customer, system or department names. Figures marked "expected" are the business unit’s own estimates, not measured results. Updated: .
More questions
Is an application built this way secure enough for business-critical data?
Every application goes through your IT’s checks before go-live: architecture, security, permissions and a protection concept. In this case the application is classified as business-critical and runs in production.
What happens to the data from the old application?
It is migrated. The new application has a bulk import that loads the existing data from the legacy application and from spreadsheets.
