Factored together, the decreasing costs of hardware, infrastructure technology and ERP software put a modern version of these once-epic business management packages within reach of any midsize company. In this Buyer's Guide you will find details on what to look for in a midmarket ERP package, the benefits it should bring to your midsize company and what you need to know before you commit to a solution. | | | | | | As fewer companies can afford travel expenses for face-to-face meetings, Web conferencing tools are fast gaining momentum.
