Företag har historiskt sett spenderat stora summor på att förvärva ERP-system till verksamheten. En del företag ser även ett värde i att komplettera med IT-stöd för CRM. Att det finns flera skäl till att vissa företag investerar i ett ensamstående CRM-system istället för i en integrerad modul i ERP-system har bekräftats av tidigare forskning. Att däremot avstå från att integrera CRM-och ERP-system
