A majority of ERP implementations fail due to a lack of knowledge of what the ideal scene should look like because a company rarely replaces its own ERP. Failure occurs from not knowing how the requirements gathering stage should go, or how any other stage like walkthroughs, testing, training, data migration, and much less go-live should run. However, with the right advisor, your team can sidestep becoming a statistic of failed implementations. In this episode of the ERP Advisor, Shawn Windle breaks down what role a client-side implementation consultant plays and how they are not the same as the implementation partner or the internal client PM.
