At first glance, it seemed that Affinity’s problems stemmed from a third-party implementing Microsoft Dynamics ERP and ecommerce platform in the cloud, but this was before Dynamics had a cloud-based option. While this was certainly a problem, an in-depth assessment also revealed inefficient custom code, failures in critical architecture, and a lack of scalability.

New Era Technology partnered with Affinity to not only fix these problems but ensure they were positioned for further success.
