Why is the rate of failure so high?
One main factor I have observed is that the less-than-inspiring rates of success noted previously often boils down to the organizations current experience and historical success with larger-scale implementations involving complex functionality. In other words, the success of a software selection and implementation project depends on whether your current internal resources are sufficiently skilled and experienced to define your organizational needs. However, upwards of 60 percent of companies fail to consider that completing a project on time and within budget means nothing if the software itself doesnt meet the needs of the organization.
