Gone are the days where a problem at the central or corporate headquarters brings all operations to a grinding halt. ROM Enterprise's unique architecture handles when the Internet connection goes down, allowing the remote plants to still operate. Then once the connections are back up, all of the data is synchronized syn·chro·nize
