This article describes the full development process of InteERP, which includes feasibility analysis, requirement analysis, frame design, database design and detailed design. In the detailed design, a uniform design mode and development templates are set up by using some software development technologies such as the theory of data management, the theory of Object Oriented Programming, inherit, user events, modularization, etc. Under the uniform design mode and development templates, several basic modules are developed, including production management, materials management, human resources management, customer relationship management, system maintenance management and so on. Pratice proved that the development templates technolgoy is efficient, because it not only unifies the software interface and operation, but also reduces the workload of development. Because of the simple opration and interface, it is convenient for users to master the InteERP system. This article also gives some solutions to deal with the difficulties met in the development. Some program tips are also provided. May it's useful for the later development of this system.
