Why is Missouri State University going to an ERP system now?
• ERP systems have been available for several years. In higher education, the trend to use ERP systems started prior to the Y2K conversion. Almost all of the major universities in Missouri are now using ERP systems. • Like these institutions, Missouri State University has decided that the functional capabilities and security benefits of an ERP system provide a better strategic direction than the continuing support of aging in-house developed systems.
