Industries globally, whether public or private sector are shifting way out from developing Information Systems in-house and are implementing ERP systems and many readymade software packages. ERP packages are known for business operating system that enable better resource planning and deliver value-added products and services to customers. ERP automate core corporate activities such as manufacturing and the management of financial and human resources and the supply chain.
It has seen numerous commercial ventures evidently keep on overlooking the issues and issues experienced all through the implementation of ERP cycle, as proof by suggesting that, more than 40 percent of application development project get unsuccessful, and 90 percent of ERP executions wind up late or goes for over spending plan lastly 67 percent of enterprise software activity could be viewed as negative or fizzle. The prior implementation, current implementation and the post-implementation phase continue in the lifetime of the ERP. The initial implementation are subsequent revisions, transcend which is normally considered application or system maintenance work.
An ERP implementation plan provides the clarity of the implementation process. This implementation focus on the costs, scope and time restraints of the application. The ERP implementation can be seen in three ways:

A best-of-breed approach to enterprise IT needs would be to purchase a combination of solutions from different vendors. A comprehensive unified ERP solution, such as Xledger, is system that covers a wide range of functionality. However, even unified solution usually has a particular strong value proposition in one area, while it provides “good enough” functionality in other areas.
Some ERP systems (e.g. Netsuite) are marketed as “integrated”
suffered from inertia when an attempt was made to engage business management in selecting software for their individual areas, and/or agreeing to participate in the ERP implementation project. List and explain reasons why management would hesitate to become engaged in the IT process/project.
Below are reasons Cisco hesitated to take on an ERP project:
a) Fear of decentralization

The custom costs are more expensive than the cost of an ordinary ERP software package [37].
