In some instances its from the theoretical context of management and other instances often from a few customers to which the particular "best practice" was made. Only very simple companies with simple processes fit the "best practice" standard processes of most ERP systems. Often this is the case with smaller companies. Looking at a certain delivery process ultimately and theoretically there can only be one process design that is optimal. Yes here is the answer: This is not reality. No company is a standard company. Every company has its own particular service og way to deliver that build and serves there customer relation. This is always the core issue of the customization and i feel its very important to spot these with the client and assure that they respected. If not the delivery process might end up with low degree of automation of some the strategic competitive service advantages that ties customers to the company.

Does this mean ERP vendors need to listen and take a note of this and makre the required change? Also which modules are heavily customized and which are not. This will be interesting to know so that we can compare against the industry benchmark. Can the break up of customization across ERP and by modules be provided for major ERP vendors?
