The ERP software system provided by this company is called Intelliverse Software, and much like all the other ERP vendors mentioned in this study, they also employ ERP solutions which can be used in combination with other systems and applications that are offered by Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Unicode, and many others.

The Fundamentals of Systems Integration and Compatibility with Customer-Preferred Support Platforms

Intelliverse is another example of an ERP software that is compatible with already existing server support platforms and which are considered the standard in the industry; thus reducing the need for their customers or client base to purchase new servers and related applications which may be necessary to implement otherwise incompatible ERP software systems- but which are badly needed or essential to the specific business needs of the buyer.

In this respect, naturally the biggest players such as Oracle have also placed stricter emphasis on the process of system integration, and sought the best strategies to resolve the variety of compatibility issues with the program and software support systems that have become of standard use by businesses for multiple industries due to their extensive history. Oracle’s success in meeting compatibility requirements for the application systems used by the majority of industries is evinced in the evolution of Oracle’s Modus Operandi, which has shifted its focus towards the adoption of more efficient and innovative methods for developing fully customized ERP software systems and promoting compatibility.

Consequently, aside from developing its own ERP software systems adapted for compatibility with the standard support application platforms which are commonly used by businesses in the IT industry (for example those offered by the Microsoft/SAP merger; Microsoft/.Net; Java systems; as well as through Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft’s ERP related products, among others), Oracle has used an invaluable strategy that is also very innovative as far as the ERP industry is concerned. This involves partnering with other various developers, and through merger operations. This particular strategy is an invaluable asset and contributes to the exchange of innovative ideas necessary to the promotion of ever-more efficient ERP solutions for small businesses, and also to the development of new marketing strategies.

Obviously mergers are nothing new in the global industrial scene, but it is only with the advent of the IT revolution that vendors and buyers of ERP software systems have begun engaging in merger operations aimed at bringing mutual benefits to the respective customer base of each entity in an ERP merger, partnership or consortium.
