 | When organizations reach a certain size it often becomes apparent that the ways of doing business that helped lead to growth are no longer applicable. Midmarket organizations are in a unique position.

As the operational and transactional system of record that business is based on, ERP can be an essential tool for midmarket organizations as they become more sophisticated. For example, 88% of midmarket organizations without Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software indicate that they can no longer track business processes effectively. ERP is designed to enable this capability, which is why 86% of Best-in-Class midmarket organizations have an ERP solution.
