ing Rates Increase – well, this is indirect effect of market consolidation, larger companies are willing to deal with larger clients and move consulting rates up.

    Possible Solutions:

    • Hold on for new implementation - stick to existing legacy accounting system, do not plan Great Plains modification, integration and tune up. This is usual way for recession time
