The problem with ERP software is that it is so hard. It isn't flexible, it can't be easily adapted to the organization. Really, it's just a bunch of code that was written to solve one company's problems and then sold to a lot of other companies. The companies whittle down the software to the lowest common denominator and then sell it as the solution to every company's problems, but really it causes a lot of problems.

With the cost of software today, and the advanced platforms out there, agile methods, ERP systems, or not even an ERP system, but rather, the software a company needs to run the business can be built from scratch in less time and for less money than it costs to implement an ERP package from one of the big names.
