The application problems relating to SAP and Oracle software are gradually emerging with their popularization in China. For example, they are not accord with the Chinese enterprises’ application habits; they cannot fulfill the enterprises’ individualized demands and the demands involving flexibility and using kind easily and so on. In addition some enterprises, using SAP as their core software, will purchase and take the domestic software as the accessorial tools, thus resulting in a lower system cost. With the emergence of those demands, there comes a market aiming to provide the extended products of SAP and Oracle, customized software and servings.

IBM in her Chinese enterprise informatization white paper alleged that the information course of Chinese enterprises is still resting on its primary stage and one important reason contributes to the aforesaid situation is the company’s comparatively higher individual demands when they deeply applying software, and those individual demands result from the diversity of industries, the different stages of enterprise development , the variations of enterprise scales and the caprices of manage flow. Those features are especially outstanding among medium or small enterprises, whereas the cost for secondary development is held at high price among the traditional ERP software suppliers.
