TLDR
In this paper, the authors present two case studies of ERP projects where customizations have been performed and show that while customization can give true organizational benefits, careful consideration is required to determine whether a customization is viable given its potential impact upon future maintenance.Abstract:
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is a dominant approach for dealing with legacy information system problems. In order to avoid invalidating maintenance and development support from the ERP vendor, most organizations reengineer their business processes in line with those implicit within the software. Regardless, some customization is typically required. This paper presents two case studies of ERP projects where customizations have been performed. The case analysis suggests that while customizations can give true organizational benefits, careful consideration is required to determine whether a customization is viable given its potential impact upon future maintenance.
