UNIT4 White Papers and Demos

Although the fundamentals of accounting have not changed much over the years, the velocity of business and regulatory change is unprecedented.

Today's enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are challenged to provide the architectural agility necessary to support businesses in a high-change, global environment (e.g., to accommodate merger and acquisition [M&A] activity, new financial or regulatory requirements, organizational restructuring, or new business processes).
