This depends on what ERP you are implementing. I  also depends on whether you are upgrading current ERP or going through a brand new implementation which requires data migration. In our most recent scenario we implemented Oracle cloud ERP as a brand new implementation migrating data from on premise Oracle ERP. The cost was approximately 4% of revenue including licensing costs. Happy to discuss further

Hi Priscilla, would you qualify that 4% as an end-to-end cost covering all of the project phases (requirement to go-live), resources (IT, third-party SI, business), change management, and technical components (including integrations and data analytics)?  Thanks in advance.

Hi.  I'm really interested in your estimate of 4% of revenue.  It sounds reasonable, but I'd like to know you you calculated it?  We are a relatively large retailer (~1,800 liquour stores) with approximately $12.4B annual revenue.  We are wanting to implement a new deployment of SAP S4/HANA and I'd like to see how your estimate compares.  Thank you very much in advance.
