ERP transformations rarely fail at go-live. More often, the real challenge begins afterwards, when people are expected to adopt new ways of working, make decisions differently, and operate confidently in a transformed environment.
In this episode of The ERP Perspective, OXYGY’s Arne Buthmann discusses why ERP transformation is fundamentally a people transformation. He explores the critical role of leadership, the importance of involving the business throughout the journey, and why testing should be treated as preparation for real operational work rather than a technical exercise.
The conversation also examines the hidden adoption challenges that emerge after go-live and explains why lasting transformation depends less on technical deployment and more on behavioural change, organisational alignment, and employee confidence.
The key takeaway is simple: go-live is not the finish line. It is the point at which the organisation must begin living and succeeding in a new reality. Watch the episode to learn why successful ERP transformations depend as much on people and leadership as they do on technology.
