Contract Review / Risk Assessment - (CRA)
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.
