BUYING GUIDE
How long does an ERP implementation take?
Quick answer
It depends on platform and scope. A focused Odoo or Oracle Cloud rollout for a mid-sized business typically takes 8–16 weeks, while a multi-entity SAP S/4HANA programme can run 6–12 months. A proven 5-phase methodology keeps projects on time.
What affects the timeline
- Platform and number of modules
- Number of sites, entities and users
- Data migration complexity
- Customisation and integrations
- Team availability for testing and training
