Why Presence360 Delivers Success Where Legacy Systems Fail

Legacy ERP is collapsing under its own weight—costly, rigid, and misaligned. Gartner warns of widespread failures. Presence360 delivers the agility, AI, and strategy alignment enterprises need to succeed.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has long been the backbone of business operations. Yet, despite its critical role, ERP is one of the most maligned areas of enterprise technology.

According to Gartner, ERP strategies often fail to deliver the flexibility businesses need to adapt—and this shortfall is about to become even more severe in the age of AI.

Gartner predicts a sobering future:
  • By 2027, more than 70% of recently implemented ERP initiatives will fail to fully meet their original business case goals.
  • As many as 25% will fail catastrophically.
  • Nearly 75% of ERP strategies are not strongly aligned with overall business strategy, leading to confusion and lacklustre outcomes.

This negativity is not misplaced. Legacy ERP initiatives often lack agility, fail to incorporate technology innovations like generative AI, and fall short of aligning with strategic business goals. The result? Spiraling costs, frustrated end-users, and leadership teams unable to translate their ERP investments into real competitive advantage.

The Shift Enterprises Must Make

If the failure statistics teach us anything, it’s this: ERP success is not about technology alone, but about alignment, flexibility, and intelligence.

  • Alignment with Business Strategy: ERP initiatives disconnected from core business objectives quickly lose relevance. Gartner emphasizes that aligning ERP with strategic goals is the single most important predictor of success.
  • Flexibility to Evolve: Businesses are in constant flux—mergers, new product lines, global expansion, shifting regulations. Rigid ERP systems cannot keep pace, forcing costly workarounds.
  • AI and Next-Gen Capabilities: The future of ERP lies in AI-driven automation and real-time insights. Platforms that cannot natively integrate AI risk becoming obsolete.

Enterprises must stop treating ERP as a static back-office system. Instead, they need to see it as a living, adaptable ecosystem that flexes with business needs and fuels innovation.
