MIS: Upgrade or Replace?

Today, if you do not have a seamlessly integrated, systems-driven workflow and MIS, it's only a matter of time before you start losing business to print providers that do. But business requirements, processes, workflows, and goods produced can change over time, and an MIS that was a perfect fit when it was purchased and installed may no longer support your business needs. However, replacing your current MIS is not always the best option. In this tough economy with increasingly intense competition, those who have the need to upgrade their systems would be wise to assess their existing capabilities and determine whether the expense (time and resources) and disruption of implementing a completely new MIS is worth the reward.
