Why do so many enterprise systems fall short of expectations?

Enterprise systems have the power to foster cross-functional collaboration, support data-informed decision-making, and provide an intuitive interface that streamlines the student experience and enables staff to be productive and engaged. Yet few systems ever achieve their full potential.

Over two decades of experience leading enterprise system evaluation, selection, and implementation projects has shown us that most problems can be traced back to a lack of communication and collaboration. Over time, these dynamics permit processes to evolve organically and unsystematically until shadow databases and manual workarounds become the new norm. In attempt to fix things, many institutions end up wasting money acquiring multiple software solutions that are designed solve the same problem. Eventually, technology becomes an obstacle standing between students and their educational goals rather than streamlining the experience to enable their success.
