List and briefly discuss three problems with ERP systems

What will be an ideal response?


Well, one major problem is with the high cost of implementing an ERP system. Not only are they expensive to install, but they are expensive to maintain with all of the frequent upgrades. They are also extremely complex since they attempt to integrate all the processes across the entire organization which could entail globalization complexities too. It is often the case that end users do not like these systems since they entail many changes to their job descriptions, organizational structure, and may even have more awkward interfaces than their previous, custom-made internal applications.
