- These modules are typically not as functional or flexible as the modules offered by industry leaders who specialize in SCM and CRM.

The tools used are
- Middleware
Several different types of software which sit in the middle of and provide connectivity between two or more software applications.
- Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Middleware
Packages together commonly used functionality which reduced the time necessary to develop solutions that integrate applications from multiple vendors.
The criteria that ERP must integrate various organizational processes are :
