ERP Development Solutions

One of the important questions that organizations need to decide is how to ensure that ERP is able to address all the Business Processes or adjust the ERP by way of customization, extension, or modification to the ERP Package itself.

And very often there are times when the vanilla functionality or the standard configurations or setups are not able to provide the intended business functionality. There exists primarily two ways of adjusting ERPs to the business processes, first is to adjust organizational business processes to ERP and somehow manage that through work-around or manual processes, And, second is to adjust the ERP by way of customization, extension or modification to the ERP Package itself.
