Why Most Software Implementations Fail – And How to Fix It

Most software implementations fail, and it’s not because the technology doesn’t work. The problem is user adoption. Research shows that up to 70% of change initiatives fail due to a lack of focus on people and processes.

The Real Problem: Ignoring People and Processes

Vendors focus on features, and organizations focus on deploying the software. But both overlook a key factor: people drive success, not technology.

  • 75% of ERP projects failto meet expectations (Gartner).
  • 63% of CRM implementations faildue to low user adoption (Forrester).
  • 70% of digital transformation initiatives faildue to poor adoption (BCG).

Without engaging users or aligning leadership, the technology falls flat.

Why Internal Teams Struggle

Internally, companies face:

  • Competing priorities: Teams have limited time to focus on adoption.
  • Lack of expertise: Many don’t have the resources to manage large-scale change.
  • Change fatigue: New tools overwhelm employees, leading to resistance.

The Advantage of a Third-Party

Bringing in an external partner solves this. A third-party specialist, like V3, can focus on user adoption with:

  • Dedicated focus: Free from distractions, ensuring alignment and engagement.
  • Proven methodology: Structured plans for long-term adoption.
