Does your ERP rollout feel like an anti-climax? Here’s why.

Champagne corks popping? Congratulations on Slack? Roll-out of an ERP like NetSuite can feel like a defining moment. It should do, too. It’s the kind of large-scale project that relentlessly chews up months of planning, budget, and executive attention. So when you hit that milestone and go-live finally happens, it’s totally natural to want to take a victory lap. But then something unexpected happens.Teams across the business simply… keep working outside the system that you’ve been sweating over. Instead of embracing the new setup, they quietly drift back to their old ways. Spreadsheets resurface. Slack messages replace approvals. Procurement by PDF makes its grand return. And just like that, your ERP risks becoming a siloed tool. Popular with finance, but not many other departments. The tech is implemented, for sure. But it’s not adopted.
