New research published by Intact Software found the 61 percent of their respondents were using one of three ERP systems; SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or Sage. But this research found that users are not happy with 75 percent experiencing problems and many want to replace their systems, which is far higher than other surveys this year. The major issues highlighted by the respondents appear to be the ever increasing maintenance costs, cited by 33 percent, underperformance, cited by 23 percent, and the systems inflexibility, 19 percent in this research, 58 percent of survey respondents said that a main reason ERP implementations fail is because the software fails to match the business processes and 37 percent said the software is not fit for purpose. However, in many instances companies who implement ERP systems try to make the new system fit old and outdated processes or fail to implement any efficiencies that that the ERP systems offer.
