5 Reasons Businesses Still Hate Enterprise Software High cost of ownership  - 91% of respondents said it was a "significant" or "very significant" business problem. Forrester Comment: "We believe that the concerns related to  cost of ownership  are primarily due to the installations of on-premises packaged applications, where internal support requirements and  vendor maintenance contracts  are a  significant burden to IT shops , often causing other projects to take the back seat.“ Difficult upgrades  - 87% said it was a "significant" or "very significant" business problem. Forrester Comment: "While upgrading the packaged apps will extend their useful life and provide relief from vendor-imposed version support deadlines, the  upgrade process itself  is often disruptive and expensive.“   Poor Cross-Functional Processes:  86% said it was a "significant" or "very significant" business problem. Forrester Comment: "The issue results from the fact that enterprise applications have been  designed and implemented as functional modules , whereas the real end-to-end processes span multiple business functions.“ What the Apps Deliver Doesn't Match Business Requirements:  80% said it was a "significant" or "very significant" business problem. Forrester Comment: "While packaged applications are mature in many of the core ERP areas (such as finance, procurement and HR),  most customers still find gaps  that must be addressed via customization or workarounds.“ Inflexibility Limits Process Change.  75% said it was a "significant" or "very significant" business problem. Forrester Comment: "  Inflexibility  tends to be more acute in older legacy packages, as well as modern packages that have technically complex tools for workflow and business rules configuration."
