Why so Many Modules?

Every business has their own requirements and needs. An IT company is not going to have the same procurement needs as that of a manufacturing company. That is why EBS has a lot of features which are both manual and automated.
Since, no solutions fit all problems, in the same way – no particular product can help you all. There is a practice of mix and match of software bundled together to provide a most suitable customized product for your organization.
In this regard, it is to be noted that – each application is licensed separately so companies can select the combination that is suitable for their business processes.
