Make THIS your 2026 ERP Digital Transformation Resolution

ERP Digital Transformation projects can make or break an organization.

There are several significant headwinds management is facing when scoping, bidding, and awarding the various contracts that are necessary to have a successful implementation.  In 2025, we wrote a series of articles and participated in several webinars.  If you didn’t catch them, you can access them here.

The headwinds management faces include:

  1. Choosing the right software
  2. Scoping, negotiating, and signing the software license agreement
  3. Determining and planning the right approach to the project – big bang vs phase
  4. Choosing the right system integrator
  5. Scoping, negotiating and signing the contractor with the system integrator
  6. Considering whether the system integrator can address the complex compliance and cybersecurity requirements (Sarbanes-Oxley and Data Security)
  7. Choosing the right risk advisory firm to identify and address the compliance requirements
  8. Scoping, negotiating and signing the contract with the risk advisory firm
  9. Choosing the right cybersecurity firm to identify and address the cybersecurity requirements
  10. Scoping, negotiating and signing the contract with the cybersecurity firm
  11. Setting aside the necessary resources from their day jobs (full time and partial) to help support the implementation, the perpetual patch cycle (link to article), and activities related to mature the implementation after go live
  12. Evaluating what additional external resources may be needed to help ensure project success on behalf of management
