Great Question. Would love to know the answer.
A major hurdle is providing 10+ of the typical ERP modules.
E.g. production module (PLM) needs access to sales/CRM module (so that it proceed with ordering necessary materials etc. or plan for it in case of CRM); to do so it needs access to the procurement module, and accounting one; HR (so you can schedule workers), and things just keeps adding up. E.g. here are some of the typical ERP modules: Human Resource, Inventory, Sales & Marketing, Purchase, Finance & Accounting, Customer Relationship Management(CRM), Engineering/ Production, Supply Chain Management (SCM), etc. (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_resource_planning#/media/File:ERP_Modules.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_resource_planning#/... )
The tricky part is that there aren't many standard modules used; probably with the exception of the accounting (Quickbooks, Xero); e.g. some companies bootstrap on top of accounting modules:

I'd love to hear any ideas of how the hurdle of needing to provide large number of integrated modules could be overcome.
