ERP Costs More Than Licenses
Many companies make the mistake of budgeting only for ERP licenses and consulting fees. In reality, the total cost of ownership (TCO) for ERP is much larger. Hidden costs like downtime, integration, training, and change management often determine whether ERP succeeds or fails.
Why This Pitfall Happens
This ERP pitfall occurs because CFOs and decision-makers rely too heavily on vendor quotes, which rarely include the full lifecycle of ERP implementation. Training, adoption, and internal time commitments are underestimated, leaving budgets short and ERP ROI delayed.
The Cost of Getting It Wrong
When companies underestimate ERP TCO, projects appear “over budget” even though costs were simply miscalculated. To compensate, businesses often cut corners on training or change management, which leads to low adoption and reduced value. As a result, ERP ROI takes much longer to realize.
