ERPILOTAI • PUBLISHED JULY 2026
Replacing your ERP system? Read this ERP Selection guidance before you do anything else.

This is not a vendor whitepaper. It is not a product brochure. It is 35 years of independent ERP consulting experience — covering what good ERP selection looks like, where it goes wrong, why it goes wrong, and what it costs when it does. Written for the executive who owns the decision, not the project team running it.
What the Manifesto Covers



The Selection Problem
The Execution Gap
The Standard
Why more than 70% of ERP initiatives fail to meet their business case goals — and why that failure almost always begins during selection, not implementation.
The nine stages of structured ERP selection, where organisations consistently skip or underdeliver them, and what the difference in outcome looks like.
What excellent ERP selection actually looks like — from as-is process mapping and RFI quality through to board recommendation and implementation readiness. ERP Selection Guidance with our Manifesto is where you start
