Driving Adoption for real ERP impact for a large public-sector organization

A new ERP system was intended to improve efficiency but initially met with resistance and frustration. 

When it came to migrating the solution to the cloud, the company chose an entirely different path: integrating change management from the outset. With ELCA, they turned a complex project into a lasting success.

A large public-sector organization set out to enhance its critical operations by implementing a new ERP system. Expectations were high, and the technology was sound. However, once the system went live, employees struggled to integrate it into their daily workflows. Instead of boosting efficiency, the change led to slowdowns, frustration, and resistance. With no structured training before go-live, adoption was an uphill battle, and the project's challenges became publicly visible, putting leadership under pressure.

A strategic turning point for cloud migration

Recognizing that real transformation happens when people embrace change—not just when a system is deployed - the organization took a fundamentally different approach for its ERP migration. This time, Change Management was embedded from day one of the project, ensuring a smooth transition and sustainable impact.
