FACT:
The majority of organizations do not have the internal expertise
necessary for achieving ERP success. When they don’t hire an
experienced third-party, they limit their level of benefits realization and
reduce their potential ROI.
Respondent Overview
81% of organizations are either in the process of implementing ERP
software or have completed implementation.
Implementation Outcome
Interestingly, the data shows a 1-percent decrease in success rates since last year.
There was also a decrease in the percentage of respondents that view their project
as a failure – from 21-percent last year to 7-percent this year. There was a
corresponding increase in the percentage of respondents claiming neutrality in
regard to project outcomes – from 21-percent last year to 36-percent this year.
FYI: Confusion or neutrality is typically an indicator that
organizations did not invest adequate time in software
selection, business case justification, benefits realization
measurement or post-implementation audits.
While the implementation of cloud ERP has increased since last year,
the implementation of software as a service (SaaS) has slowed.
MISCONCEPTIONS:
In our experience, we have found that the above concerns are
misconceptions. In fact, a number of cloud providers are
enhancing their security to meet customer needs,
especially in the financial sector.
Software Customization
The ideal level of customization that we recommend to clients is
10- to 20 -percent. According to survey results, the majority of organizations
stayed within this range. While 90-percent of organizations reported some level
of customization, fewer organizations are choosing extreme customization when
compared to last year.
On- schedule ERP projects may continue to become more and more
common as more organizations turn to ERP consultants for planning
and implementation guidance.
The percentage of respondents reporting on-schedule projects (39-percent)
is significantly more than the percentage of respondents reporting schedule
overages of 25-percent or less (26-percent). Last year, nearly half of
respondents ran over-schedule by 25-percent or less, while on-schedule
projects only accounted for 22-percent of responses.
