Small businesses often rely on long-since outgrown systems such as Quickbooks, lashed together with a range of best-of-breed point solutions, each one with its own architecture, user interface, and data input needs, often requiring the same data to be input multiple times.

So instead they raise maintenance fees for existing clients, acquire and graft on point solutions, and look for new technology plays to get existing customers interested in spending more money.
