Postmortems of ERP failures repeat the same themes: fuzzy accountability for master data, underestimating behavioral change, integrating too many endpoints at once, and measuring success by ‘go-live date’ instead of operational stability metrics.

Failure patterns that show up early

• Dual-entry habits persist because incentives reward spreadsheet speed.
• BOM accuracy is treated as engineering’s problem alone.
• Finance and operations disagree on costing methodology quietly.
• Integrations are scoped too ambitiously without durable monitoring.

Capricon treats ERP delivery as change leadership plus engineering—because stable transactions require stable agreements.
