Unparalleled Business Coverage with No Customization

　This report states that
The most important feature of HUE is that it provides the functions desired by user companies on a "no-customization" basis, i.e., requirements that are lacking in the standard functions of HUE are added as standard functions rather than developed individually as add-ons. In addition, because there are no add-ons, there is no need for individual additional work to comply with legal revisions or system updates, and "free version upgrades" can be performed within the fixed maintenance fee, allowing for long-term cost forecasts. The system has more than 6,700 standard functions suited to Japanese business practices for existing user companies, and has a high business coverage with a 97% fit & gap rate (conformance rate) for RFPs (Request for Proposals). Another strength of the ERP package is that it was developed by a domestic vendor and can be adapted not only to Japanese business practices, but also to domestic legal revisions quickly and flexibly according to the client's situation.
