Abstract

One of the most difficult works in the world of ERP systems is proven to be their installation and customization to fulfil the needs of the customer. With the great development of Knowledge Management in the last decade a new era has begun; the era of capturing, storing and managing effectively ERP Consultants' knowledge in order to rapidly build customized enterprise systems, which in other times would take months to model and develop. This paper presents such a case, where IT and Knowledge Management power are used in order to surpass the difficulties of this ERP field. The authors describe an advanced generic Case-Toolkit, which is able to support the complicated process of Modelling and optimal adaptation (MOA) of an ERP system to the needs of an enterprise. This tool-kit aims to be used by the ERP consultants in two ways. The first is to analyse, categorise and store the business processes and the second is to use the business processes that are created for presale reasons.
