Secrecy has no place in than ERP project Secrecy has no place in an ERP implementation project. A budget should be declared upfront and the vendor challenged to say whether project objectives can be met within that constraint. Too good to be true? Low as well as high estimates should be challenged. Inevitably, something will have been missed. My take?  I agree. However, it's not always reality.  In my experience, customers can be unrealistic about goals and their alignment to budget, because, "they don't know what they don't know".  That's my job - helping them understand where pitfalls and risks lie, the potential expense they represent, and how to manage around them.  Expecting a customer to know what can be achieved within budget, or expecting a vendor to know that the customer has taken into account relevant contingencies is fraught with danger.  Having a partner who can help both parties negotiate this tricky 'treasure hunt' is truly the key ...

Enterprises today expect vendors to provide a vision of realistic ERP outcomes, stripped of hyperbole. Meanwhile the advent of the internet and cloud computing has fundamentally changed the way that ERP can be architected and delivered. ERP-as-a-service means that customers can subscribe and use the solution without the overheads of heavy capital expenditure. They also free themselves from the burden of having to maintain or upgrade hardware, infrastructure and software as this is handled by the vendor. Forward thinking vendors are now focussed on ERP solutions that deliver outcomes for the business rather than simply investing in longer feature lists to try to outrun compet...
