Re: Another important ERP project going off the rails before even going live

As with most failed ERP implementations, it'll be because of the 3rd party implementation partner setting unrealistic timelines and costs in their tender bid, along with a probable lack of functional and technical GAP analysis, current e2e business process mappings and up front technical / integration design.

Yes, Oracle EBS and SAP are complex beasts - but in my 20 years as an ERP Programme manager, the underlying application platform installation is rarely the problem projects like this fail.

YMMV of course.
