Compliance, traceability, information security … just a few of the buzzwords that have become part of the vernacular of almost every industry in recent times.

If I were allowed only one word to describe the most important feature of an effective ERP solution for the electronics industry, it would have to be “flexibility”.

SYSPRO’s New Year Resolutions and Revelations
