Hi Bridget, Your article regarding ERP implementation statistics from Panorama is extremely on target and if anything, it's conservative. The real problem is not whether the ERP will be cloud based or on-premise, but rather in the poor requirements definition studies and benefits benchmarking work by many implementers. Further, ERP software companies with so called "enterprise" solutions present themselves as having everything a customer would ever want or need, which in my experience, has not been the case. Much of the blame also ultimately rests on the shoulders of the customer who allows organizational silos to dictate direction without regard to benefits realization. So much more to discuss ......
