We detoured briefly into a live ERP implementation. It's moving forward, hiccups and all. Many of our users are beginning to understand the power of our new system. With great power comes great responsiblity - er, I mean major configuration pain. So we're learning the ins-and-outs of QAD.
I started this journey with the intent of simplifying our IT infrastructure by reducing cost and complexity while adding features. So I'm going to save the new ERP explanation for later. I think I remember telling you that I really don't like Exchange. So let's get back to that. 2002 through 2007 were major growth years for our business. We moved into a larger facility. We updated, upgrade and expanded our IT infrastructure. Our user population was growing faster than we could keep up. I had me, a sysadmin, a project specialist and a contract programmer. And I was still working late nights!
