The inadequate choice of an ERP system can compromise companies' operating margins and generate high costs with reimplementations that can exceed the original investment, putting pressure on cash flow during critical periods. Gartner surveys indicate that between 55% and 75% of enterprise management system projects fail to achieve the originally defined business objectives, whether in return on investment, process optimization, or full team adoption.
A significant portion of these cases, between 20% and 25%, constitutes what is considered catastrophic failure: the system is abandoned, reverted to the previous legacy platform, or interrupted before even going live, according to combined data from Gartner and Panorama Consulting.
It is in this scenario that GestãoPro operates, a management systems provider focused on small and medium-sized companies, which offers guidance to companies in the process of choosing or replacing an ERP. According to the company's director, a large part of the failures mapped by Gartner and Panorama Consulting research is related to errors in the selection and implementation of these systems.
