This paper studies some of the lessons learned, from the viewpoint of the effect of these Project implementations on the Organi- zation, the Workplace and the Individuals. A clearer understanding of the human and organizational factors provides a blueprint for a higher success level in these projects in the future, and the leverage effect for continuous improvement for those who use ERP solutions today.
