Patch, Pray, Repeat: The Hidden IT Risk of Legacy ERP in Manufacturing

For most manufacturing IT teams, the week goes to failed batch jobs, patches tested against layers of customizations, and integrations that break when a trading partner changes a file format. An aging ERP rarely fails all at once. It just takes a little more of the team’s time each quarter, until keeping it running is the whole job. This whitepaper looks at the eight ways a legacy system like GP, NAV, or AX lands on IT, from security exposure and integration debt to key-person risk. For each one, it shows how Dynamics 365 takes that work off your plate, with sourced data and examples from manufacturers like Heathrow Scientific, National Guard Products, and Western Precooling who have already made the switch.
