In the fast-moving digital world, being able to quickly adapt to disruptive business processes and changing business needs is key to success and survival.

But as we become adults and come to grips with reality, our definition of what it takes to be ‘super’ changes completely.  Especially in business, we have taken the term ‘super’ to describe leaders who have managed to find the right balance between work and life. The modern superhero we see lauded in the media is someone who is successful in their field while also making enough time for family and hobbies outside of work. That might mean getting home in time to put the kids to bed, finding time to train for a marathon, or just putting in the hours to learn how to play an instrument.  We are in awe of these individuals not because of a tremendous feat of strength or heroic act, but because achieving a perfect work/life balance while running a successful business is one of the hardest thi

Mobility and real-time communication are two driving forces reining the software space for a while. Mobility is impacting the way businesses conduct their day-to-day operations.

But even more surprising were the benefits realized once our survey respondents got to the cloud. An astonishing 81% cited "Staying current on technology" as the main benefit of moving to cloud ERP.
