MIS: Upgrade or Replace?

Many vendors offer Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for their business or production systems to help exchange order information along with the job. Unfortunately, these solutions are seldom "plug and play" and may require custom development to implement. Other companies find that upgrading MIS software is a costly endeavor that does not provide them the new benefits they anticipated. While all of these fixes may bring temporary improvement, they may not be cost-efficient, nor effective, to maintain as the business grows.
