26. Fact
It has been identified that the most significant correlation to
benefits realised in an ERP implementation is the amount of
spend on change management.
In layman‟s terms, the more an organization spends supporting
its people and their transition, the more it receives; the less it
spends, the less it receives. It really is that simple.
