When assessing the deployment of business management software, analysts deal in absolutes such as "success" and "failure." While some might call those labels a bit too extreme, research by the Panorama consulting group found that the dichotomy between successful and unsuccessful implementations of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software will become even more pronounced with time. This means that as technology accelerates, ERP deployment stands to be a resounding success or a spectacular failure for enterprises. 

This creates a high-stakes environment wherein the selection of a qualified ERP deployment partner is critical. Too much is on the line for businesses to settle for partners with weak success rates or an unwillingness to learn their business models. Considering the monetary and operations investment companies make in ERP systems, it's only worth doing if done well. 

"ERP failures will not go away anytime soon," explains a 2015 prediction report by Panorama. "On the other hand, there are still plenty of success stories out there. The difference between the two extremes will continue to become more apparent. The successful ones will do all the right things – effective project management, business process reengineering and organizational change management, for example – while the failures will continue to ignore or underinvest in those areas."
