Best 9 ERP consulting companies in 2026

It has been eight months since your ERP implementation project was approved. Everything seemed to be going well at the time, as the demo was impressive, the agreement was signed, and the kick-off meeting set expectations. But three months after the original go-live date, half of your financial data is still being reconciled manually in Excel.

If that sounds familiar, the numbers explain why. According to a study done by Gartner, more than 70% of the recently implemented ERP projects are likely to fall short of meeting their original business objectives by 2027. Budgets do not fare any better: ERP projects tend to overspend the budget, with only 50% of them meeting expectations. 

The cause isn’t always the software. SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics run as intended when set up according to the way the business operates. This disconnect generally occurs at the level of the vendor performing the service, their knowledge of your industry, proper data migration, and even planning for the end-users of the software.

For this post, I’ve researched and analyzed leading ERP consulting companies and explained what to look for when choosing the right partner.
