The author is fortunate to have so few encounters with this IRL because there is a world of difference between “I have never seen a book propose this” and encountering it in practice.
To my misfortune I have been involved in multiple ERP implementations where such require heavy customization & development of custom & bolt-on modules.

The result was systems people avoided using, creating shadow systems or surprising IT with “we bought this and need it integrated”.
