Disadvantages of ERP
y Locked into relationship by contract and manageability with

vendor - a contract can hold a company to the vendor until it expires and it can be unprofitable to switch vendors if switching costs are too high.
y Inflexibility - vendor packages may not fit a company's business

model well and customization can be expensive.

y Return on Investment may take too long to be profitable. y Implementations have a risk of project failure.
