As an “expert witness” I’ve been involved in several lawsuits involving the implementation of SAP software, including one with a statement of claim that was nearly one billion dollars. I’ve been involved on both sides, that of the plaintiff and that of the defendant. From those experiences, other cases studies, and real world experiences from my consulting career I have formulated conclusions as to the cause of ERP related lawsuits and more importantly how to avoid them by mitigating risk.
