How Jeeves ERP Allows You to Quickly Deploy Additive Features

Jeeves ERP is implemented using an additive process, rather than a subtractive one. When we say additive design, we mean more than how easy the system is to customize and integrate. We mean that it’s easy to change and extend your system with new code.

ERP technology has been around for quite some time.

The architectures of many “best practice” systems available today were built decades ago to fit a handful of companies. These systems are often plagued by rigid databases and older technology that are difficult to evolve over time.
More recent architectures tried to resolve this rigidness by building incredibly robust and configurable horizontal systems. However, the cost of the implementation process was extended, in order to sift through the massive code base and turn features on or off.

When multi-tenant SaaS architectures arrived, they addressed the new issues of complexity and cost, but delivered “lowest common denominator systems” for everyone – that were again … difficult to customize.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Jeeves ERP is different. Unlike most systems, Jeeves ERP is implemented using an additive process, rather than a subtractive one.
When we say additive design, we mean more than how easy the system is to customize and integrate. We mean that it’s easy to change and extend your system with new code. Many of our customers develop their own apps on a regular basis using our Apps Builder Toolkit. Other customers get apps from Jeeves, and simply import them into their code base.

Whether you build it yourself, or Jeeves builds it for you, Jeeves ERP’s additive architecture design separates hard-coded functionality from the core system, making it fast to deploy new features (and easy to upgrade them).

So there you have it. Jeeves ERP makes it far more easy and affordable to reinvent your system. You simply build, import, and go.
