A modern ERP solution can supercharge your organization, enable extraordinary efficiencies and deliver valuable insight. But implementation is one of the most complex, expensive, time-consuming and high-risk projects your organization will ever undertake. And it's easy to make mistakes that will result in failure.
Some mistakes are just bad decisions: Selecting the wrong software solution. Choosing an unworkable deployment strategy. Setting an inadequate budget. Eliminating training.
Some are the inevitable consequence of situational or organizational factors: Lack of inhouse expertise. Limited internal resources. Poor organizational energy. Messy data.
And some are the result of process-oriented or people-centric choices – and are easily avoided.
These are The 7 Deadly Sins of ERP Implementation.

Here's why it's important: For a complex project like an ERP implementation, lack of process understanding, forgetting a critical task or overlooking a key decision point can cause frustrating delays, time-burning rework, expensive fixes or even failure.
