You will have to rewrite the whole stuff, but there are some critical differences that you can actually leverage to your benefit.
Silverlight apps have the capability to directly access the database. Angular does not have it. Angular relies on REST API and json.

I assume that this ERP system is something home brewed, not an OTS package. I also assume that you will keep the same database schema and data as the basis for the new UI.
So the first thing you have to do, before getting to the UI, is to reverse engineer all of the database queries to have a clear understanding of the data model, and create  a REST API layer to support the business needs.  This can be done with WCF, but also with any other programming language/framework that your backend developer believe is suitable.

Once you have the API part rolling, you can start planning the UI based on the required human workflow.
