The role of open source and social networks
To understand the role of open source in Microsoft, we need to consider two things about the environment we are working in.
When implementing any Microsoft product or, effectively, any classic software for whatever purpose, you have official instructions to follow. This is generally true for heavily standardized software deployment types with high repeatability. That said, with any ERP implementation, you should still take care of the following:
- Hardware and software requirements
- Business needs and peculiarities of processes for a specific customer
It is possible that you will need open-source material to meet these requirements.
Luckily, hardware and software requirements are simpler within SaaS compared to an on-premises version. Despite this, the complexity of implementation remains (due to the infinite combination of business needs, processes, and technical solutions).
