MIS: Upgrade or Replace?

Coordinating efforts by integrating platforms

There are a few ways to assure that communication flows freely between systems. The first challenge is how to access the data from different systems and databases and then 'map' that data from one system to another. An MIS typically contains the due date and the order quantity, but middleware systems are needed to extract this data and reformat it as JDF, XML, or others required by production systems.
