According to the 2024 Gartner Research, 'more than 70% of recently implemented ERP initiatives will fail to fully meet their original business case goals.' This stark statistic underscores the critical need for organizations to assess risks and set realistic expectations before undertaking such complex projects. Failure in ERP systems can lead to inefficient operations that impact employee productivity, customer satisfaction, and ultimately, the business's financial health.
An ERP implementation for a retail company highlighted severe flaws when overlooked critical requirements led to invoicing issues and store line delays. The pressure to go live, despite readiness warnings from its tech partner, resulted in catastrophic system failure, causing significant operational and financial setbacks, including the reactivation of its legacy system amidst chaos. This scenario stresses the importance of proper readiness assessments and transparent communication between all stakeholders.
