Infrastructure Management White Papers

Streamline to Success: The Real Mid-Market Experience: Wholesale/Distribution

Overview "Legacy" core systems, or Business Management Systems, are the lifeblood that supports the financial functions, and track inventory and sales information. In many cases, the legacy core systems represent 20 to 30 years of business rules and logic, customer and supplier data, and extensive internal and external interfaces, which makes replacing them seem impossible from the perspectives of cost, time, and risk. However, they provide the technology foundation that is the cornerstone to providing information for most of the business functions.
