6 Frequently Asked Questions About ERP Consulting Companies

What are the red flags when evaluating ERP consulting companies?

The biggest red flag when evaluating ERP consulting companies is a firm that leads with software certifications but cannot show implemented projects at your company’s size and in your industry. Other warning signs include: 

  • No dedicated project manager named upfront: If accountability isn't defined before signing, it won’t be defined during the engagement 
  • Vague go-live timelines: Legitimate ERP consulting companies scope timelines by phase; a single number without a breakdown is a guess 
  • Resistance to a discovery phase: Firms that want to skip straight to implementation are optimizing for contract value, not project success 
  • References that only cover the software, not the consultant: Vendor-provided references tell you the platform works, not that this firm can deliver it 
  • No change management offering: 70% of ERP failures are caused by people and process issues, not technology; a consultant who doesn’t address this is solving half the problem 
  • The team that sells is not the team that delivers: A common bait-and-switch where senior consultants win the deal, and junior staff run the project 

How much do ERP consultants charge for their services?

ERP consulting companies typically charge between $150 and $175 per hour, with tier-one software specialists like SAP and Oracle consultants sitting at the upper end of that range. Rates can vary by 20% to 30%, depending on your location. 

Beyond hourly rates, the total cost depends on several variables: 

  • Billing structure: Some ERP consulting firms charge by the hour, others by the day, and most on a fixed project fee. 
  • Project complexity and duration: The longer and more complex the engagement, the higher the total cost. 
  • ERP platform: An SAP consultant typically charges more than a consultant working on mid-market platforms like Sage 500. 
  • Independence: ERP consultants who don’t take vendor kickbacks may charge higher rates to compensate for the lack of partner revenue, but are more likely to give unbiased recommendations. 
  • Expertise scope: If you need help selecting a system rather than just implementing one, expect to pay more for broader, platform-agnostic knowledge. 

The total project cost is largely driven by the implementation duration, which you’ll need to scope with the shortlisted consultants before you can calculate the total cost. 

How do I know if a consultant’s ERP experience actually matches my business?

A consultant’s ERP experience matches your business when they can show completed implementations at your company’s size, in your industry, with references you can call. 

Before signing: 

  • Only meet with ERP consultants who have a reputation for working within your industry, as these are the experts who will understand the nuances of your business processes and how to align ERP to your operations. 
  • Look for consultants with experience specific to your industry and your company size; a consultant who specializes in enterprise rollouts may be poorly suited for a mid-market business. 
  • Ask which specific consultants will be assigned to your project and verify their individual track records, not just the company portfolio. 
  • Require references from projects similar in size, scope, and industry; speak with these clients to understand how well the ERP consulting company managed scope, stayed on budget, and supported user adoption. 
  • Check vendor independence. Some consultants claim objectivity but only sell two or three platforms, meaning you may end up with one of those solutions regardless of whether it’s the best fit for your business. 

How long does an implementation take?

ERP implementation timelines range from 3 months for small businesses to 3 years for multinational companies.

Here are the average timelines by organization size: 

  • Small businesses: 3 to 4 months 
  • Medium-sized businesses: 6 to 9 months 
  • Large businesses: 9 to 18 months 
  • Multinational businesses: 12 to 36 months 

These are starting points, not guarantees. Several factors can significantly extend your timeline: scope, data quality, customization, and the availability of the ERP consulting company. 

Cloud ERP deployments are generally faster than on-premises implementations, which require purchasing and setting up hardware, which is a process prone to vendor delays and technical issues. 

What are the common causes of ERP failure?

ERP implementations fail most often due to poor strategy, poor change management, and a mismatch between the provider and the organization, not because of the ERP software itself.  

ERP implementation failure rates can exceed 75%, while 23% of ERP projects exceed their budgets, with the underlying causes almost always predictable in advance. 

The most common failure causes: 

  • Wrong software or consultant fit: The most important failure factor is software that is a poor fit for the company, or requirements that are undefined or mismatched to actual business needs. 
  • Treating it as an IT project: The biggest mistake companies make is viewing ERP as an IT project; it is a business transformation that needs to be led by the business, with buy-in from all stakeholders from the start. 
  • Employee resistance: About 56% of organizations encounter internal resistance during ERP implementation, usually because employees aren't told why the change is happening or given adequate training. 
  • Poor data quality: Organizations that underestimate data migration complexity often see their implementations fail, as what appears to be a clean database often contains duplicate records, inconsistent formats, and missing information. 
  • Rushed testing: When Hershey embarked on a $112 million ERP implementation, it cut testing phases to meet an aggressive deadline; when the system went live, transactions failed to flow across CRM, ERP, and supply chain systems. 

Should we use cloud-based or on-premises ERP?

Choose cloud if you are a small to mid-sized business, need to scale quickly, have distributed teams, or want predictable monthly costs. 

Choose on-premises if you operate in a highly regulated industry with strict data residency requirements, need deep system customization, or have significant existing infrastructure you aren't ready to retire. 

Here's how the two models compare on the factors that matter most: 

Factor Cloud ERP On-premises ERP
Upfront cost Low, subscription-based High: hardware, licenses, infrastructure
Implementation speed 3 to 6 months More than a year to fully deploy
Total ownership cost 30 to 50% lower over five years Higher when hidden costs are factored in
Customization Moderate, configuration-based Deep, full code-level access
Data control Vendor managed Fully in-house
Updates Automatic 18 to 24-month upgrade cycles requiring IT projects
IT burden 28% less IT resources spent on maintenance vs. on-premises Higher; internal team manages patches, backups, security
