Best practices are incorporated into most ERP vendor's software packages. When implementing an ERP system, organizations can choose between customizing the software or modifying their business processes to the “best practice ” function delivered in the “out-of-the-box ” version of the software. EAS-Enterprise Application Suite is a new name for formerly developed ERP systems which include (almost) all segments of business, using ordinary Internet browsers as thin clients. Prior to ERP, software was developed to fit the processes of an individual business. Due to the complexities of most ERP systems and the negative consequences of a failed ERP implementation, most vendors have included “Best Practices ” into their software. These “Best Practices ” are what the Vendor deems as the most efficient way to carry out a particular business process in an Integrated Enterprise-Wide system. ERPs are often incorrectly called back office systems indicating that customers and the general public are not directly involved. This is contrasted with front office systems like customer relationship management (CRM) systems that deal directly with the customers, or the e-Business systems such as e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Telecom, and e-Finance, or supplier relationship management (SRM) systems.
