  • Abstract
    Both OSS ERPs and proprietary ERPs involve complex system implementations that usually require modifications to a firm´s business processes as well as some adaptation of the ERP´ functionality. This mutual matching project usually involves consulting firms. However, the benefits of applying OSS are greater for ERPs than for other kinds of applications, for three main reasons: increased adaptability, decreased reliance on a single supplier, reduced costs
