ERP concept proposed in 1990, yet low success rate in SMBs, why?

High investment: Large upfront cost, overall expense high, infrastructure expensive.

High requirements: Requires professional IT staff, avg IT labor cost 100K/year.

Difficult operation: Poor UX, high difficulty, ugly interface.

Update hassle: Software updates, security patches, bug fixes uncontrollable.

Many disappointments: Doesn't solve real management problems.

Low adoption: Traditional ERP "high-end", SMBs can't afford, redundant features unused.

Insufficient hardware: Server capability affects system performance.

Insufficient maintenance: Avg maintenance fee 10%~20% of software cost, companies cut costs.

Poor service: Focus on selling software not service, lack continuous support.
