The document discusses an ERP Execution Assessment (EEA) that can help organizations protect their interests when ERP implementation projects run into problems. EEA involves diligent review of project contracts and risk assessments to understand factors like time overruns, cost overruns, scope creep, and unmatched user expectations that can lead to project termination. It is recommended for organizations experiencing delays, uncertainty around project end dates, those looking to change agreements, or those seeking alternatives. EEA aims to protect the organization's interests, increase awareness of risks and responses, and help bring more control and predictability to projects.

ERP Execution / Implementation Assessment - (EEA)
Background
In any ERP implementation irrespective of the project size and foot print; the project contract / agreement plays a vital role in terms of program
governance both at an individual or an entity’s level. Across the globe ERP projects are called off on many occasions due to contract clause
deviations / breach led to discontinuity, disputes, arbitrations, legal suits and ultimately terminations.
The underlying factors that eventually results in a project termination revolve around a few vital variants that can ultimately determine the
project’s fate are - project time over run, cost / budget overrun, scope creep, unmatched users expectations, product adaptability, promises vs
delivered resource attrition and external regulations.
