Change management: building a case for cloud-based ERP

Yet it’s no small feat to hit the ground running with a successful system and a strategy to leverage operational data. It requires careful planning, resource and budget allocation and infrastructure utilization audits, all handled by assigning explicit ownership of information and processes. A recent Deloitte report cites 10 common barriers to ERP implementation, and the top five all relate to change management:

1. Resistance to change
2. Inadequate sponsorship
3. Unrealistic expectations
4. Poor project management
5. Lack of a compelling case for change
