Drawbacks
Depending on your view of end-to-end ERP systems, and salesforce.com in general, committing to FinancialForce.com may not be your cup of tea. The underpinnings of the solution push you towards replacing all business management systems with salesforce.com supported ones, which may be more change than you’re willing to make to your ERP systems. It is at its core an accounting solution, but FinancialForce.com will likely make every attempt to convince you to integrate many other salesforce.com systems at the same time.
