Risk of Project Failure Higher in Government
Includes ICT Project Risks + most ERP risks
Complex legal reform
Need for continuous reform
Covers more “lines of business” than private sector enterprises
Need to rationalize needs of politicians, public servants and civil society
Government Resource Planning
Includes all ICT Project Risks
High customization required to achieve benefits
Often requires business process re-engineering
Highly complex project covers multiple organizational silos
Projects often delivered late
High maintenance costs, especially upgrades leads to high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Enterprise Resource Planning
Many ICT projects fail to deliver on expectations
High maintenance costs to keep “lights on”
Complex ICT projects have higher failure rates than modest projects
Move to Cloud computing a reaction by customers against high ICT costs
