No system can do it all. That's why companies will often implement multiple solutions from different vendors — such as payroll/HR, time-and-attendance, and ERP. Integrating these systems gives you a strategic benefit from the unique capabilities each application provides. When it all comes together, you have functionality that no single "all-in-one" application can provide.

You may have heard in the news about a small non-profit organization servicing families in need that secured a sizeable increase in their funding because they were doing great work and making an impact. With the increased funding came the expectation that the organization would have the internal structure to support a grant that large. That meant outsourcing their payroll functions so they could focus on the mission.
Whenever you start a new project, your profitability depends on a nearly impossible task: estimating your costs beforehand. No project of any significant length goes entirely according to plan, and there are nearly always unexpected snags that add costs you didn't plan for.
