Spinoffs inherit enterprise complexity without enterprise IT budgets.
When a business unit or division spins out of a larger enterprise, it loses access to shared IT infrastructure, enterprise software licenses, and the internal systems it relied on. We build the replacement software that a newly independent company needs — fast.
Enterprise spinoff that has lost access to parent company IT systems and needs replacement software for the operations that those enterprise systems were providing
Enterprise spinoffs face a specific technology challenge: the divested business relied on parent company systems — ERP, CRM, HR platforms, shared infrastructure — that are either off-limits after separation or subject to a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) that expires on a fixed date.
The systems a spinoff typically needs to replace:
CRM. The sales team had access to Salesforce licensed by the parent company. Post-separation, the spinoff needs its own CRM and a migration of the relevant customer records that belong to the divested business.
Billing and finance systems. Invoicing and AR/AP processes that ran through the parent company's ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite). The spinoff needs operational billing and finance software.
Internal operational tools. The custom internal tools built on parent company infrastructure — project tracking, approval workflows, operational dashboards — that no longer accessible post-separation.
IT infrastructure. Email, SSO, file storage, and other IT services provided by the parent company's IT organization.
The TSA timeline creates urgency: the clock starts on separation day, and the parent company's systems need to be replaced before the TSA expires.
Replacement operational software for the spinoff: the CRM, billing system, internal tools, and operational platforms that the new independent company needs to operate
CRM and customer database
HubSpot or custom CRM with the divested business's customer records migrated from the parent system. Sales workflow, pipeline management, and the customer data the team needs.
Billing and invoicing
Invoice generation, payment processing (Stripe), and accounts receivable tracking. The billing workflow that replaces the ERP's AR function.
Operational tools
The project tracking, approval workflows, and operational dashboards that the spinoff team needs to do their work — rebuilt on the spinoff's own infrastructure.
Data migration
Customer records, contract data, and operational history migrated from the parent company systems before TSA expiration.
Authentication and access management
Clerk-based SSO for the spinoff's employees. No dependency on parent company's Active Directory or SSO.

Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Spinoff technology budgets are defined in the separation agreement. Fixed price, defined timeline tied to the TSA expiration.

12–24 months is the typical TSA period for large enterprise spinoffs. For smaller divestitures, 6–12 months is common. Software replacement on a 6-month timeline is aggressive but achievable with the right scope discipline.
The separation agreement should specify data rights for the divested business. If data export is contractually required, the parent company must provide it. If it isn't, the recovery approach depends on what records the spinoff team has access to directly.
Core operational platform: from $45k. Full IT replacement suite: from $75k. Fixed-price per scope.
