The result is limited innovation.

You may not realize it, but you are sitting on a treasure trove of data in your AMS. And while it’s great for specific uses in day-to-day operations like transactional, process renewals or course payments, it can’t help you answer complex questions (see our previous blog, Your AMS Wasn’t Designed for That ).
