ERP Focus, a free online knowledge resource for ERP software professionals, held a twitter chat to get feedback on the top ERP trends of 2014. Under the twitter hashtag #ERPchat, featured guests including @DatixInc, @K3Syspro and @ERP_cindyjutras, weighed in. Fresh off the twitter session, here are some top tweeted trends to consider.
