When was the last time you upgraded your ERP system? Not just patched, fixed or tinkered with it – but implemented a substantive upgrade that enabled real business innovation, generated excitement and unleashed a wave of ideas and productivity from your users?

This white paper will explore the ways in which legacy ERP harms business.
