Independent Report Reveals ERP Selection, ERP Implementation and Organizational Change Management Trends

DENVER, Colo., -- The business transformation and ERP consulting firm, Panorama Consulting Group, today released an independent report relevant to organizations considering, or in the midst of, an ERP implementation or business transformation. The report analyzes organizations’ project decisions and results.

"The findings from this year's report point to one important concept," said Christi Trinder, Manager of Client Services at Panorama. "A strong focus on change management is critical whether an organization is performing an ERP upgrade, an ERP implementation or a digital transformation.”"

While the average organization size was smaller than previous years, and more organizations were performing upgrades, respondents still reported that the organizational change aspects of their projects were just as difficult as respondents had reported in the past.

"Focusing on change management and seeking related guidance can mitigate the difficulty of organizational change," said Trinder." However, fewer organizations reported focusing on the change management activities included in our study and fewer sought change management guidance from a consulting firm."

The report also revealed an increased focus on process improvement among respondent organizations. Notably, in this year's report, 50% of organizations reported improving most of their business processes, while this was true of only 37% of organizations in last year's report.

"The economic downturn has made organizations acutely aware that the status quo is no longer sufficient to gain or even maintain market share," said Alan Salton, Director of Innovation at Panorama. "Organizations did not shy away from improving their operations in the midst of economic uncertainty, and I believe their boldness will be rewarded once they invest just a little more in organizational change management."
