The selection of a suitable overall management software solution. However, it is unlikely that the implementation will be successful even if a supplier with a lot of experience is selected. Why?
The internal enterprise has not agreed on the process and plan. Not having a leader with enough vision throughout the implementation process leads to the project often being protracted.
Consulting partners may be strong in certain areas but lack an open mind in connecting with other software. In the current expanding business context, closing the door to information is similar to isolating the business itself.
Lack of proper budget preparation. A system like ERP, even with ODOO, is very difficult to complete at a cost of several tens of millions. When the deployment partner has a good enough profit, they can raise an army of "war" and your business will inherit that.
