In order to survive in this competitive business world, every business must produce or offer not only a better product or service, it must also offer a better customer service and reduce production costs. and overheads, have a better planned management system, highly reliable infrastructure, and the list goes on and on. Many of these can be accomplished with a customized enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. ERPs serve as “a comprehensive database to house all of the company’s business information.” However, if these systems are not used properly with the necessary change in people and technology management, it can lead to failure. PowerIT Ltd. is a self-contained company with about 200 employees whose job is to produce and repair energy conversion power supplies. The mid-sized company decided to replace its legacy Material Resource Planning (MRPII) system with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to "modernize its practices and provide an integrated software solution" tailored to the growth of its customer base.

The advantage of this option over an in-house developed system is that it does not require a highly competent IT team, a necessary condition for developing large-scale expertise in software and applications. The downside, however, is that internally developed systems are custom-built for the business by an IT team with in-depth knowledge of the business.

Additionally, creating a new solution will most likely improve communications with the new owner of the ERP solution. Their technical support is obviously not comfortable with the product obtained. If this company designs a new solution, its professionals may be able to train users and provide better support. In general, the decision to reconsider the requirements and reimplement the existing system is optimal from a technical, financial and organizational point of view..
