Recent business trends favoring ERP growth


 Business Process Reengineering ( BPR )
 Most large companies are attempting to cut in-house development costs, improve
customer service, and speed products to market by reorganizing their existing
business processes.

 Software Pricing
 Licensing and pricing of mainframe based packaged applications are tied to the size of
mainframe system on which the applications run, but now customers are now
demanding user-based licensing options and major corporate applications like SAP
provide this instead of the conventional platform-based pricing technique.

Recent business trends favoring ERP growth


 Globalization
 As businesses are becoming more global in scope, people are demanding packaged
corporate applications that are available in a variety of languages with support for
multiple currencies.

 Integration
 As more and more companies are going for BPR, there is increase in demand for
integrated solution e.g.. different applications sharing a common database and thus
enabling data definitions and business rules to be applied across an entire
organization with the facility of doing modifications at one location only.

 Customization
 The adaptation of application software to customer-specific needs is
accomplished in two ways :
 Coding
 Programming customer-specific code that replaces or complements
components of the application
 Configuration
 Rendering the application appropriate to a specific customer by specifying
data on which the application operates
