Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
ERP projects fail when governance, data, and change are mismanaged. Common causes include:
- Misaligned expectations between business and IT
- Weak project governance and poorly defined teams
- Poor data migration readiness and inadequate testing
- Unsuitable, one-size-fits-all implementation methodology
- Insufficient organizational change management (OCM)
Pemeco prevents failure with its Milestone Deliverables methodology — a framework that distills complex ERP projects into a small set of tangible, trackable deliverables. This method integrates governance, process design, OCM, data migration, and testing to align ERP with business strategy.
📌 Download Pemeco’s CIO Guide to Preventing ERP Implementation Failure.
An ERP implementation plan must cover process, people, data, and technology. Key planning documents include:
- Project charter – vision, objectives, authority, and scope
- Project schedule – milestones, dependencies, and resourcing
- Financial plan – budgets, cost controls, reporting
- Change management plan – communications, training, stakeholder engagement
- Test plan – unit, integration, and user acceptance testing
- Data migration plan – cleansing, mapping, migration readiness
- Technical plan – infrastructure, integrations, and architecture
Pemeco ties these plans to Milestone Deliverables, making progress transparent, manageable, and easy to govern.
📌 Explore our ERP Implementation Planning Checklist for details.
ERP plans should be built around milestone deliverables that make progress visible and manageable. Pemeco’s proven 5-step approach includes:
- Establish governance – define accountability and escalation paths
- Define requirements – capture processes, roles, and KPIs
- Develop the blueprint – align requirements with design, data, and integrations
- Phase-gate execution – testing, training, and migration tied to milestones
- Track milestone deliverables – clear checkpoints for scope, budget, and timing
This approach also embeds OCM to guide organizations through the emotional curve of change — from resistance to recovery — ensuring adoption.
📌 See Pemeco’s Milestone Deliverables infographic for a visual framework.
ERP implementation usually takes 6–18 months. Timelines depend on:
- Functional scope of the project – modules, processes, geographies
- Extent of organizational change – workforce impact, redesign, OCM needs
- Number of sites and business units in scope
- Complexity of integrations and customizations
- Quality of data migration and testing discipline
- Stakeholder readiness and adoption
Pemeco keeps projects on track with disciplined planning, governance, and risk management anchored in milestone deliverables.
ERP success depends on a structured governance model with defined teams. Typical roles include:
- Executive Committee – ultimate accountability for scope, budget, business case
- Steering Committee – senior leaders setting direction and resolving roadblocks
- Project Management – client-side PM (10x the accountability of an integrator’s PM), supported by a solutions architect and PMO
- Organizational Change Management (OCM) – change leaders driving communication, training, adoption
- Core Team – cross-functional business leads and super users designing processes and testing solutions
- Consulting Team – integrator consultants responsible for configuration and technical build
- Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs) – specialists validating requirements and solutions
📌 See Pemeco’s Governance and Teams Framework for proven models.
Your ERP project needs a client-side project manager to govern the whole program.
- Vendor PMs manage only vendor deliverables.
- Integrator PMs manage only their consultants.
- The client-side PM governs everyone — internal staff, integrators, and vendors — and carries ultimate accountability for outcomes.
Without this role, projects risk vendor-led decisions, missed strategic alignment, and costly overruns. Pemeco advises, coaches, or embeds client-side leadership, but ownership must remain with you.
📌 Watch our video on why internal ERP project leadership is critical.
Independent ERP consultants act as conflict-free leaders accountable only to your success. Pemeco strengthens outcomes by:
- Providing an overall project manager role focused solely on transformation success, free from vendor agendas and internal politics
- Embedding governance and milestone deliverables to enforce accountability
- Coordinating across vendors and integrators while protecting strategy
- Embedding OCM to drive user adoption and long-term ROI
- Delivering 800+ successful ERP projects across North America and globally
With Pemeco as an independent advisor, ERP projects stay on time, on budget, and strategically aligned — protected from competing interests.
