While no ERP system can address all business processes, relying on customizations over standard functionality increases timelines, risk, and ultimately costs. Extensive customizations to your ERP software may complicate upgrades and updates. Extensive customization also reduces your flexibility and contributes to vendor lock-in. When vendors emphasize customizations over standard functionality, it is a signal that something is wrong. The reality is that ERP software will always have functionality gaps. But an emphasis on customization suggests the software is not a good fit for your business requirements. I discuss these issues in my latest video.
