A good business will always look to provide its employees with the best tools, believing that with the right tools, they will be able to perform their tasks more effectively.
Today some of the best software tools available have revolutionized the way we do business and we couldn't imagine living without them.

But does that mean technology is the answer?
As fast as technology evolves, the world still moves faster- companies grow, customer demands change and decision makers need to weigh the risk of over-flexing their tools and missing out on valuable business.
Consider the common situation where an ERP does everything you want it to do domestically, but as soon as you try to sell internationally, the different address formats wreck havoc on your business rules.
Look for a new system? Program new business rules? Avoid international sales?
For many companies, this isn't a crossroads they reach but a lifestyle they live with. Starting from a good platform, finding good developers to maintain it is the closest you'll get to a software that matches business realities.
What are some ways you or your company bridge the gap where technology falls short?
