Given the costs and overall complexity, it’s no surprise that even after successfully going live, it will still need constant attention. There are many valid reasons for continuously investing time, effort and money into it, and they include:
Knowledge Preservation
Lack of knowledge is a prime cause of ERP failure. People forget how the system works with time, leading to mistakes and oversights. Accordingly, it’s important to document everything soon after the ERP goes live, so that you have the right reference. That way, you will extend the life of the ERP system with easy navigation even when the consultants and employees who initially worked on during implementation have moved on.
Bringing new hires up to speed

Keeping software up-to-date
