While the worldwide frenzy over the death of Michael Jackson reaches fever pitch this week, my own personal take on this tragedy reflects on the timelessness of his music. …..This idea that an ERP solution is at best a five year investment is, in my opinion, nonsense.

When you choose a new ERP system for your company, it is a decision that you will need to live with for at least the next 7-10 years. So you want to make sure you choose a technology that is ahead of the curve and will not be outdated before you even get it installed. That is why I was pretty surprised to hear the new CTO for Sage admit in this ChannelWeb article that, “Some of our products have fallen behind the technology curve and need increased R&D investment.” To me that would be a red flag.
