The Framework CS Component Set enables the quick and cost-effective development of complex ERP applications. This helped CS Component Studio achieve a significant competitive edge and, with the help of Cincom Smalltalk, open up a whole new market segment.

The Smalltalk foundation of the ERP framework provides high flexibility and speed for CS Component Studio, which allows support of customer requirements that don’t arise until the project is underway. Object orientation guarantees that any kind of modification can be quickly and smoothly implemented. Thus, the ERP system can be developed and continuously customized with the customer in an iterative way. Taking part in this development process makes it easier for users to sign off on the system and to accept the completed program as "their own system" – a "win-win-win" situation for the ERP specialist, the customer, and the user!
