 he same needs for core data management functions such as human resources, g
 eneral ledgers, accounts payable, receivables,&nbsp;invoicing, and shipping
  and receiving. On the surface, it doesn&#39;t make sense for every busines
 s to develop these applications from scratch. Several large vendors have st
 epped up to provide packaged solutions for these common functions. Unfortun
 ately, the cost of these solutions far outweighs the benefits and even exce
 eds the cost of custom development, when that is done right. We&#39;ll look
  at why this is, and how to meet these common data management needs in your
  organization without breaking the bank.</p>\n<p>We&#39;ll see:</p>\n\n
 What is the typical total cost of ownership of a packaged solution\n
 The effect of a vendor&#39;s packaged process requirements on the rest of t
 he business\n
 Why custom software development often doesn&#39;t go so well\n
 How to deliver your own core data management functions at a fraction of the
  cost.\n\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n
