Answer to Question 1

One possible benefit of making modifications to a purchased ERP package is that users will find it more usable and thus it might be a bigger success. The modifications might also give the organization a competitive advantage over the competition. However, making modifications can be quite costly and each of the modifications will have to be maintained every time the software vendor releases upgrades to the software that must be installed. These releases can come as often as every six months and can disrupt the functioning of the system. This is why most companies will choose to make as few modifications to the software as possible.

Answer to Question 2

B
