Enhance the ERP, don’t overload it. Most ERPs include basic AP functionality that works fine for low volumes and simple workflows.

Medius acts as a secure, cloud‑native extension of your ERP, reducing complexity rather than adding to it.

Medius is designed to complement the ERP, not replace it. The ERP remains the system of record, while Medius handles high-volume and complex AP workflows outside the core system. Clean, validated data flows back into the ERP through standardized integrations, reducing the need for custom development and minimizing long-term technical debt. Does Medius require custom ERP development or modifications? No. Medius relies on pre built [ERP connectors](https://www.medius.com/solutions/for-your-erp/ "For your ERP"), APIs and configuration, not custom code inside the ERP. This makes implementations faster, reduces risk during ERP upgrades and keeps your core systems clean and supportable over time. How secure is Medius from an IT perspective? Medius is a cloud-native SaaS platform built for handling sensitive financial and supplier data. We have stringent security measures at the organizational, architectural, and operational levels to ensure that your data and applications remain safe. Regular audits ensure data security and privacy. Medius makes a significant investment in our commitment towards the ISO 27001:2022 standard, and SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports. How does Medius help reduce IT support and maintenance effort? Medius is designed for business self service. Intuitive user interfaces, automated workflows and [AI-powered assistance](https://www.medius.com/solutions/medius-copilot/ "Medius Copilot") reduce errors, exceptions and manual workarounds. As a result, Finance and suppliers can resolve most issues themselves, significantly reducing IT tickets and escalations. How are integrations managed and maintained over time? Medius provides fully managed ERP integrations as well as modern REST APIs for flexibility. Integrations are maintained and updated as part of the platform, reducing the burden on internal IT teams and lowering the risk of integration failures during system changes. Can Medius scale as the organization grows? Yes. Medius is designed to scale across users, entities, geographies and transaction volumes. Whether the business grows organically or through acquisitions, the platform supports increased complexity, such as multiple ERPs, without requiring re-architecture or additional systems. How does Medius help reduce business and IT risk? Medius reduces risk by standardizing workflows, enforcing access controls and monitoring transactions in real time. AI-powered [Fraud & Risk Detection](https://www.medius.com/solutions/fraud-risk-detection/ "Fraud & Risk Detection") identifies anomalies early – such as duplicate invoices, unusual amounts or unexpected supplier changes – helping IT and Finance address issues before they escalate. Will Medius add another system for IT to manage? Medius is designed to reduce system sprawl. By consolidating invoice capture, AP automation, payments, analytics and upstream procurement capabilities into one platform, Medius often replaces multiple point solutions – simplifying vendor management, integrations and security reviews. What IT support is required during a Medius implementation? Medius implementations typically require limited IT involvement. With standard connectors, cloud deployment and a structured implementation model, IT teams can support the project without long development cycles or major disruption to existing systems. Does Medius support complex, global IT environments? Yes. Medius supports multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-ERP and complex approval structures, making it suitable for global organizations with distributed teams and diverse system landscapes. What kind of technical documentation and support is available?
