Ronkonkoma, N.Y. – May 5, 2020 - VAI, a leading ERP software developer, today announced its Business Resiliency Webinar Series, which will feature a technology roadmap for businesses looking to secure remote workforces as well as future-proof operations.

“As the country begins to look towards phasing in recovery efforts, now is the time to take advantage of the enormous advancements in innovation,” said Joe Scioscia, VP of Sales, VAI. “We are experiencing a sizable technological shift right now, and to be successful, businesses will need to think faster and more efficiently - especially as work from home (WFH) environments continue to replace face-to-face contact.
