Infor ERP SyteLine at 25: At the Center of ERP History

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is the primary tool manufacturing companies use to plan and schedule the resources needed for successful day-to-day operations.

Infor ERP SyteLine turned 25 in July 2011. This white paper looks at the history of ERP and also at one of the pioneering ERP systems and how both have matured over the years.
