;Selection bias
It is not unusual that the decision on which system to purchase is made by one individual or by one department within the company. In these situations, an ERP system that may be excellent at one function but weak at other processes may be imposed on the entire enterprise with serious consequences for the business.
 
;Ignorance of Industry specific / work specific ERP software
There are many vendors making/tuning ERP software for a particular industry/ particular scale of work. For eg:- ServiceMax <ref>https://www.servicemax.com/</ref> is a Salesforce cloud solution specific to Field service management. However, its not a known solution as much as Sales-force itself. Thus, many companies tend to employ well-known ERP software and try customizing it instead of doing a full research on variant available solutions of the same ERP vendor.
 
;Failure to use objective professional services
Line 66 ⟶ 69:
