Challenges
The major challenges faced in ERP implementation are on the school front. Schools are reluctant to invest their time and resources on ERP implementation in their activities because of being habitual with traditional practices. Also lack of infrastructure in Indian Schools is another reason. Availability of a good and consistent internet connection and its access to teachers and administration is a major concern.
