Many issues that occur during ERP implementation stem from the mistakes made when gathering requirements for system selection.
The most common include:
Vendors or system providers being engaged too early in the selection process
Failure to consider how both the company’s current state and future strategic goals impact the operation
Failure to complete process flow reviews for cross functional processes
Lack of functional-requirement diligence and risk assessment during the process of selecting a system
Failure to determine the resources needed for implementing staff augmentation and vendor-provided resources
