Disadvantages of ERP Systems

While advantages usually outweigh disadvantages for most organizations implementing an ERP system, here are some of the most common obstacles experienced:

Usually many obstacles can be prevented if adequate investment is made and adequate training is involved, however, success does depend on skills and the experience of the workforce to quickly adapt to the new system.
Customization in many situations is limited 
The need to reengineer business processes 
ERP systems can be cost prohibitive to install and run 
Technical support can be shoddy 
ERP's may be too rigid for specific organizations that are either new or want to move in a new direction in the near future.
