The company International Sports Systems (ISS) was considering the possibility of acquiring a new model of ERP to replace the old one that the company had in its headquarters. The new ERPs on the market were technologically more efficient and reduced the number of workers needed to operate them. Also, the maintenance costs were quite lower than the old model that had been used for already 10 years.

Two ERP manufacturers had approached the company and had offered two different models that had a price of 750.000 euros and an expected life of 10 years.
