However, it has been observed that a lot of short falls have occurred on various factors viz., cost, time, vendor dependence, users' non-involvement and lack of preparedness during design and implementation stages.

Ultimately, the tremendous potential of the enterprise products and solutions are being left unexploited. Now, the objective is turning towards streamlined processes, outsourcing non-core processes and e-processes.
