Gartner® Research Report: How Midsize Enterprise CIOs Can Build a Successful Vision for an ERP Initiative

In the dynamic landscape of midsize manufacturing, ERP initiatives are not just a choice. They are a necessity to scale business processes, adapt to industry and demand fluctuations, and gain greater visibility of costs and operation efficiency.  

“The 2023 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey showed that 34% of MSEs planned to increase their investment in ERP.” 1 However, a company-wide project, such as a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), can be daunting. In fact, Gartner finds that “More than 80% of ERP initiatives in midsize enterprises are not on time or budget and end-user expectations aren’t met, leading to reputational damage for the CIO or IT.”
