About the ERPodcast
ERPodcast Episode 20, we’ve titled this episode Cloud ERP Explodes and DecisionPoint Digital – it’s a cloudstrike changing the way businesses are approaching the market, the tools, the reporting, the workflow, efficiencies – and if you’re not on board, well, it’s not a level playing field now is it?  That takes us to DecisionPoint Digital, the point where you make the decision to join the cloud revolution and the risks involved, including that ‘risk of doing nothing.’  It covers a lot but here’s what we know –

The end result is, if your business is ‘waiting to see’ how the new economy is shaking out, well, we’re beginning to see a digital steamroller and it’s headed your way. More on all this in today’s episode.
