Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems don’t deliver on their return on investments (ROI) and often fail completely.
McKinsey found that the average organization only squeezes out 67% of the maximum financial value from their ERP.
Around 55% of the value of transformation is lost during and after the implementation of the solution with only 30% of companies reporting digital transformation success.
Another often mentioned fact attributed to Gartner (but rarely linked to) is that 80% of ERP projects fail.
This isn’t true. The real number is the same as the one cited by McKinsey – 55% – and was more about how the ERP project missed expectations rather than drowned completely.
Fact or fiction?
The real truth is that you can get measurable and intensely valuable ROI on your ERP investment. It doesn’t have to be a project that you dread or that eats money or leaves the business wanting more. You can absolutely maximize your ROI on your ERP.
This is proven. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, for example, was found to deliver a ROI of 122%, finance personnel productivity improvements of up to 55%, IT staff productivity improvements value at more than $400,000, and legacy cost savings of more than $3.5 million. These were just some of the findings in the Forrester Total Economic Impact of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance analysis.
The key is in ensuring that your implementation of Microsoft Dynamics ERP is aligned with your true business needs and expectations, sits within realistic budget requirements, and is designed with your unique environment in mind.
