Why ERP projects fail: It's not the software, but the setup and execution.

Most ERP projects don’t fail because of the software. They fail because the data going in is a mess. -Scattered Excel sheets. -Inconsistent formats. -Different teams calling the same thing by different names. The result? Reports that don’t match. Workflows that don’t align. And an ERP that never lives up to expectations. In this video, I break down why scattered data is the biggest ERP killer — and how you can fix it with the right approach.

Expert Tip: The ERP Doesn’t Fail, Adoption Does The biggest risk in ERP projects isn’t bugs or downtime. It’s when users fall back to old habits, spreadsheets, manual workarounds, or parallel systems. ERP success is about: • Retraining and changing behaviours • Making the ERP the only system, not just another system • Building trust so people stop asking: “Why doesn’t this feel any different?” Software runs. Adoption decides whether it succeeds. #ERP #ERPImplementation #ChangeManagement #DigitalTransformation #ProjectDelivery #Entution #Bileeta

Expert Tip: Opening Balances, Define the Minimum One of the biggest ERP go-live dilemmas is opening balances. Do you delay the project until all balances are reconciled, or go live with the minimum and fill the gaps later? The key is to define a “minimum viable OB” This ensures momentum is not lost while still maintaining accountability for full data integrity. ERP success is not just about speed, but about balancing accuracy with trust. #ERP #ERPImplementation #DigitalTransformation #DataIntegrity #FinanceTransformation #ProjectDelivery #Entution #Bileeta

Businesses in 2025 face many surprises. A key one is the cost of ERP systems. Many costs are hidden and surface post-implementation. Unclear pricing structures and underestimated maintenance are common culprits. This limits the success of digital transformation projects. Transparency from vendors is much needed. So, how prepared is your business for total ERP ownership costs? Is there a need for more open discussions about it?

After a brief hiatus during the holiday week, I am back with the 7th post in my series of the 15 ways the ERP industry is broken.

I can’t tell you the number of times that I have seen an ERP Implementer “reduce” the cost of deployment by having the customer take on tasks they can’t possibly accomplish well. Things like reporting, security, process documentation. During implementation you are focused on trying to get your business processes right. They are morphing and being optimized for most of the implementation. Issues are coming up and being resolved. You are shooting at a moving target on a lot of things. How is it reasonable to expect you to be able to take on ancillary tasks that rely on everything being done? Another big area where customers struggle and that can quickly derail an implementation is data migration or conversion. Data prep and extraction from existing systems usually falls to the customer. While some customers have a dedicated technical team to help with this work, many do not. Additionally, data conversion depends on the end state of the system (configuration choices, desired outcomes of the system, etc…). The data conversion process needs to support the business decisions made for the new system. Data conversion is typically very tedious and most of the time involves spreadsheets and lookup tables. And your friendly ERP partner tasks you with putting data into their standard templates. This is a nightmare situation for most customers.

In ERP consulting, technical mastery isn’t enough. Clients don’t just want system experts — they want partners who connect technology to business outcomes. That’s why at 10.28, we don’t stop at “knowing the module.” We ask about revenue gaps, procurement controls, compliance, and profitability. ERP isn’t just technology, it’s strategy in action. 💡 Don’t just configure modules. Start showing up as a strategic partner. #1028Business #EmpoweringLives #FulfillingDreams #ERPConsulting #SAPBusinessOne #StrategicPartner
