We did something like this in the past.
1. Added a column to vtiger_organizationdetails
2. Modified the add and update SQL (add2db.php)
3. Modified the detail/edit view templates (CompanyInfo.tpl,
EditCompanyInfo.tpl)

That said, there's no general purpose way to add fields to the
organization table in 5.4.0.  The best long term option is probably to
convert it to a full on module so that you get to use vtiger_fields,
etc.
