ERP systems are designed to feature out-of-the-box options that can be used as soon as they are integrated into your website. However, there are ERP configuration options and customizable elements that can maximize the effectiveness of ERP integration for your business. If budget is an issue, then ERP systems can be used “as is,” but it is recommended that you consult with a custom development professional about tailoring them according to your company’s unique needs. Below are three of the customization options to consider in ERP integration. Using Extensions for Customized ERP Systems ERP systems can be integrated into third-party software so that you can continue to use the software you’re familiar with while benefiting from the automated processes of an ERP system. Extensions can offer, but are not limited to, the following features: access to specialized data, archiving, reporting, republishing, capturing transactional data, and advanced planning and scheduling (APS). Data Migration for Customized ERP Systems Most companies that integrate an ERP system find that they need to migrate vast quantities of data over to their ERP system. The migration is often quite difficult and requires careful planning and customization of your ERP system to accommodate the data. An ERP expert can help you identify the data that needs to be moved and customize the migration-related setup accordingly.
