Businesses planning to invest in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software over the coming months and years have been given a boost by one organisation.

Forrester has made a number of predictions relating to the future of the technology and the role it will continue to play within organisations, reported Computer Weekly.

One of the key trends it identified is that ERP software – such as SAP Business One – will, over time, be tailored and customised in such a way that it immediately begins to perform according to a company's requirements of it.

The expert body advised business leaders to expect the arrival of tools and add-ons that allow bosses to change the make-up of their software in order to respond to a changing market.

It suggested the most noticeable result of teaming standard ERP software with innovative applications is the increase in relevance the technology has to a particular firm.

IDG News Service recently reported the words of Ray Wang, chief executive of Constellation Research, who said many organisations need to update their ERP provisions.
