Abstract
This paper examines customization features of on-demand ERP systems. Special attention is given to SAP Business ByDesign, as an example of an on-demand ERP system. Customization requirements in general and options available for this system are discussed. Business ByDesign supports four major approaches to customization, namely parameterization, adaptation and personalization, functional extensions and enterprise application integration. The tools supporting these approaches are outlined. Our discussion shows that customizing features for on-demand ERP are more limited than the features available for on-premise systems, but on the other hand, innovative approaches not available for conventional systems are provided.
