Software selection and
implementation services have become big business for consulting firms as
well as the software vendors themselves. Even with outside assistance,
selecting the right software for your operation and having a successful
implementation can be an extremely difficult undertaking. Horror stories of
failed ERP system implementations are unfortunately very common. Anyone
that frequently reads business publications has likely read stories where
large corporations, posting smaller than forecasted profits (or losses),
cite problems associated with the implementation of a new software system as
one of the causes. Whether these claims are legitimate or not is up to
debate. What is true, is businesses are highly dependent on information
systems, and failures in the selection and implementations of systems can
result in anything from a minor nuisance to a complete operational shutdown
