2. The applications were not designed within the context of an overall information architecture.

3. Rushed implementation timelines.

4. Business processes were not challenged and fundamentally rethought.

5. Insufficient attention to data quality.

6. The applications were not configured “optimally” based upon proven application-specific and industry best practices.

7. The organization and people were not aligned to embrace the new tools and support them going forward.
