At least they manage to save their face a little by admitting that this is bad and that they are working on a replacement unlike many other companies in situations like this. Take the Tesco incident for example: http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/11/5-essential-tips-for-custome...

There seems to be quite many, someone said they use Visma's software. It would be interesting to know what system they are moving to.

Thanks for the link, this was pure gold: http://lh3.ggpht.com/--fOrKRzkY-c/UBY2_-BpSyI/AAAAAAAADyc/96...

Visma's software is generally bad in ways that would have been truly embarrassing 10 years ago. I guess they're simply so entrenched by now that they've officially stopped giving a fuck.

True, and moving to a new platform would probably take a VERY long time and be a huge undertaking - Visma is well known for their lock-ins of customers data.

I'd believe Microsoft Dynamics is their new platform, as it would scale properly and support global distribution and stock systems management.
