Real World Benefits to Mapics 7+ upgrade

After reading all the Infor information on the topic I could get my hands 
on I though I would throw the question out to the real world.  If you have 
upgraded to Mapics 7 or higher what are the real advantages that you have 
experienced?  How was the upgrade "sold" to your management staff?

I guess the question could also apply to release 6 as well since we are 
currently at 5.5 with AP/AR (no IFM) and PDM+ (not EPDM).

The biggest win on the infrastructure side for us will be to get back into 
software/PTF support but we are looking for opportunities on the business 
side as well since it will require commitment from all departments to test 
and validate the deployment.

Your input is appreciated,
