Make no mistake—your ERP implementation or Digital Transformation will be more difficult than expected.
What are some common causes of project failure?
- In the cases we litigate, we often see customers who have failed to adequately test deliverables and functionality, invest in change management, and devote enough time to training.
- ERP implementations are not just software development projects.
- Understanding what you are getting into and having reasonable expectations is critical.
- If you delegate responsibility for the project's success to your integrator and expect to flip the switch on go-live and have everything magically work, you virtually ensure your project will fail.
Keep in mind that digital transformations are not technology projects – they are business transformation projects.
- You need to have a clear understanding of your business goals, a business case for implementing new software, and an understanding of what customizations are necessary and what functionality gaps you can live with.
- If you implement technology for the sake of implementing technology, you are setting yourself up for failure.
