As someone who did similar thing for few, little smaller business I will tell you - it depends.

Personally I did some software that saved a lot of money on licensing and hosting, almost none on-call activity as the software is stable and it is required to work 12/5, no 24/7. The only thing - I was more than „into the business”, loved the challenges and wanted to solve them.

On the other side I’m currently helping company from different industry because they collected few great talents, bought them great hardware, explained business and paid a lot. The team wasted almost a year, produced more crappy software than the existing one and left choosing someone who don’t know yet how bad SE they are.

If you will be looking for a consultation or for the team - I’m more than sad there is no contact info, because reading your description already made me way too interested
