As I reflect on all of the ERP implementations I’ve participated in throughout my career, I can’t help but notice a correlation between the perceived success of the project and the engagement level of my client’s project manager. With that being said, let me define success. I think it goes without being said that delivering […]
Once the initial euphoria selecting a new ERP system wears off and your team realizes that the real work is just about to begin, one of the first orders of business is to define your implementation phasing strategy. Many organizations implement in phases, whether it...
If you’ve followed our blog for any significant period of time, you have probably picked up on the fact that we view ERP implementations as business initiatives rather than software or technology projects. While this concept may sound esoteric on the surface, it...
In late June, the Royal Bank of Scotland experienced one of the biggest enterprise software failures in recent memory. As a result of their botched upgrade implementation, customers were unable to make or receive payments for several days, which resulted in...
Problems with out-of-date or poorly functioning ERP software often are abundantly clear to anyone working within the system. But a disconnect can arise when those tasked with making decisions about the ERP system don’t actually use the ERP system. After all, it’s a...
We recently kicked off a multi-site ERP implementation for one of our large aerospace and defense clients. Given the fact that, according to our 2012 ERP Report, most ERP implementations take longer than expected, cost more than expected, and fail to deliver the...
On the heels of Monday’s post, Five Critical Success Factors for ERP Implementations, we thought it would be pertinent also to present a list of some of the critical errors organizations (or consultants) can make in an ERP implementation. Bear in mind, that this...
ERP implementations are always difficult, and often times even more so for government organizations. An interesting recent Computer World article discusses how the Government Accountability Agency (GAO) recently uncovered the sad state of some of the US military’s ERP...
At Panorama, we write and talk a lot about the critical success factors of ERP implementations. Although organizations certainly vary across industries, and industries themselves have a large amount of differentiating concerns and requirements, when it comes to ERP...
After reading Panorama’s blog post “The Real Role of the IT Department in an ERP Implementation,” I would firmly agree with this stance if the IT department in the organization remains as an old-fashioned IT function. Scarily, that is still the case for those IT...
I want to lay something on the line here, right from the outset: an ERP implementation is not an IT initiative. When an organization believes that it is, and tasks the IT department with everything from software selection to implementation to training to internal...
The ERP consulting profession has unfortunately received a few black eyes in the 15 years that I have been in the field. During the late 1990s, consulting firms were flush with cash as their client organizations scrambled to hire them to solve the Y2K problem...
ERP system rollouts can be incredibly nerve-wracking . . . and with good reason. We’ve all heard stories of company after company suffering major disruptions to their supply chains and order fulfillment capabilities due to ERP failures, mishaps and glitches....
ERP implementations are a lot like the “Hunger Games” for CIOs, CFOs and other executives tasked with making their ERP projects successful. For those that aren’t familiar with the novel or movie, Hunger Games is predicated on a story where two children...
In the enterprise software industry, we hear a lot of talk about how ERP software can and should improve performance, reduce costs and make businesses more efficient. Marketing hype from ERP vendors and systems integrators creates a utopian promise of efficient...
We’ve been talking a lot about ERP failure recently but when it comes to enterprise solutions, it’s important to note that failure is not necessarily defined the same way across the board. Bankruptcy, obviously, would be one indicator that nearly everyone...

It’s no secret that most ERP systems fail to deliver the business benefits anticipated by the organizations implementing the software. More specifically, our 2012 ERP Report reveals that 50-percent of organizations fail to receive at least 50-percent of the expected...
Executive buy-in is one of the most critical success factors of an ERP implementation. Executives provide the vision, strategy and decision-making capabilities necessary to reap all of the business benefits possible from a new or upgraded ERP system. But even...
