Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft are the backbone of nearly every Fortune 500 company. But the implementation and migration process has long been the graveyard of IT budgets: notorious for delays, overruns, and outright failures.

High-profile setbacks at Nike, Hershey, Waste Management, and HP have cost companies hundreds of millions. Even today, with top systems integrators (SIs) at the helm some Fortune 500s remain stuck in migrations that drag on for years. By 2027, 70% of ERP projects are expected to fall short of business goals, and up to a quarter will fail entirely.

Core platforms aren’t broken, they power how the world’s largest businesses run. One of the main problems is the complexity of the implementation layer, where tangled interdependencies, business process alignment, and shifting scopes derail projects. That’s where Tato comes in: using AI to make complex projects clearer and more predictable.

Co-founded by Justin Delisle, Canada’s first Microsoft Distinguished Enterprise Architect, a veteran of more than 60 ERP implementations, Tato equips SIs and enterprises with foresight, project memory, and execution tools they’ve always lacked.

Rewriting the Playbook for ERP Implementations

System deployments are notoriously complex: dozens of workstreams, hundreds of stakeholders, constant scope changes. Historically, that has meant endless consulting hours, spiraling budgets, and little foresight.

Tato solves these pain points with an AI-first approach. By automatically capturing, mapping, and surfacing project knowledge in real time, Tato not only streamlines workflows but reshapes the economics for enterprises and SIs alike.

AI is increasingly capable of taking the initial pass at complex tasks across a wide range of sectors. For enterprises, this means more clarity and accountability that helps internal teams and external advisors work more efficiently and collaboratively together. For SIs, it means faster and more accurate delivery, stronger documentation, healthier margins, and new revenue opportunities when scope expands. For organizations, it means a more consistent, accurate and on-time and on-budget implementation and/or migration of one of their most critical systems and IT projects.

ERP is just the start. CLM, CRM, and other critical system migrations suffer from the same complexity and overruns, positioning Tato to lead a broader reinvention of enterprise transformation.

The Tato Difference

Unlike legacy project management tools that simply track tasks, Tato acts like a  transformation expert who never forgets, traces and identifies dependencies, sees risks ahead, and keeps teams aligned:

• Retains project knowledge over years-long rollouts, so nothing gets lost
• Works across meetings, chats, and tools — reducing knowledge loss
• AI-native project intelligence and issue flagging that captures every call, chat, and project activity into a real-time knowledge base while surfacing RAID logs, risks, and dependencies before they spiral

Tato integrates directly with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, and Webex to capture project data, plus Jira and Azure DevOps for task assignment. Smartsheet, Asana, Monday, and Octane are on the near-term roadmap to extend coverage across enterprise workflows. By plugging into these platforms, Tato enhances and extends the functionality of an enterprise’s existing project management stack, maximizing the value of tools organizations have already invested in. As an AI implementation platform, Tato provides:

• Enterprise-grade security: SOC 2 compliance, single-tenant architecture, and context-aware access
• Faster onboarding and less grunt work: enabling teams to save time and redirect effort to higher-value work

By automating work and capturing every scope change in real time, Tato provides documentation that reduces friction with clients and surfaces upsell opportunities. The result: expedited workflows, lower cost, higher success rates, and stronger customer relationships.

Traction & Customer Proof

Tato is already delivering measurable results:

• Gestisoft: Cut grunt work by 75% and onboarding time by 50%
• Héroux Devtek: Saved $500K on a multi-site SAP implementation, avoided costly disagreements and provided critical recall for missed meetings
• Syntax and Talan: Using Tato to keep large IT projects on track with faster execution, clearer collaboration, and greater project visibility

For SIs, these outcomes go well beyond efficiency. Tato lessens client conflicts, automates reporting, and delivers reliable documentation.

Why We Invested: The AI-Powered Future of ERP

Myriad backs enterprise AI companies redefining critical business processes and workflows to unlock new efficiencies and value. ERP implementation is one of the clearest examples: critical, high-cost, and consistently inconsistent when it comes to results.

That’s exactly why we invested in Tato. The company aligns squarely with Myriad’s thesis: a sharp entry point into a massive, entrenched problem, founders with rare domain expertise, strong technical and go-to-market experience, and timing that couldn’t be better.

Tato’s early momentum proves the opportunity is real. And it’s led by a team built for ERP’s toughest challenges:

• Justin Delisle (CEO & Co-Founder): Justin brings unmatched expertise with ERP implementations, having led more than 60 ERP implementations. Beyond credentials, he’s known for responsiveness and leadership across product and engineering teams, consistently guiding customers to successful outcomes.
• Mathieu Chrétien (Head Go To Market & Co-Founder): Mathieu is Tato’s go-to-market engine. He helped scale Talent.com to $100M+ in revenue and now drives growth strategy at Tato, ensuring the company can capture demand quickly and effectively.
• Vlad Lokshin (Head of Product & Co-Founder): Vlad is a proven product builder who has successfully scaled multiple software platforms from zero to multi-million dollar revenues.

The long-term opportunity is even bigger. Over time, Tato won’t just be a solution for SIs, but a go-to solution for enterprises looking to track critical projects, migrations and implementations.

And as with many of our investments, Myriad’s network is a force multiplier: opening doors into Fortune 500s and the SI ecosystem to accelerate adoption.

The Future of ERP with Tato

For decades, system rollouts have drained budgets and slowed digital transformation. What was once the graveyard of IT budgets is now an opportunity for reinvention.

Tato represents the next generation of enterprise solutions, working alongside consultants and internal enterprise teams alike with an AI-driven platform that makes complex implementations, migrations and complex project management faster, cheaper, and more accurate and reliable. Starting with ERP, Tato points to a future where enterprises and integrators alike can tackle their most vital technology projects with confidence.

That’s why Myriad is proud to back Justin, Mathieu, Vlad and the Tato team as they build the future of enterprise management.
