These two organizations are hardly alone. On the contrary, research indicates that more than three in five new systems fail.1 Many miss their deadlines. Others exceed their initial budgets, often by ghastly amounts. Even systems activated on time and under budget often fail to produce their expected results and almost immediately experience major problems.

While the statistics are grim, there is at least some good news:

These failures can be averted.

Organizations often lack the necessary framework to minimize the chance of system failure before, during, and after system implementations. Why New Systems Fail provides such a framework with specific tools, tips, and insight from the perspective of a seasoned, independent consultant with more than a decade of related experience.
The book examines in great detail the root causes of system failures. Detailed case studies, examples, and lessons from actual system implementations are presented in an informative, straightforward, and very readable manner. More than a theoretical or technical text, the book offers pragmatic advice for organizations both deploying new systems and maintaining existing ones.]]> 2009 0 0 false Wed Jul 15 12:10:55 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 12:11:23 -0700 2009 58099682 1855107 6468782 1438944241 9781438944241 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256081667m/6468782.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256081667s/6468782.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6468782-why-new-systems-fail 5.00 2 2009 0 0 false Mon Jun 01 15:33:14 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 15:33:14 -0700 2009 8 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6468782
