This 1000% because you know for fuck sure that some dev in the corner of a building that's going to be the last holdout.

Start planning now with an implementation plan to complete a few months before the contract is set to expire. Plans like these often hit bumps and delays.

Once you're down to the last 5%, tell them "Join or Die".
