The results of numerous studies show that, despite continuous improvements in office applications and applications that automate core and supporting business processes, only 4% of corporate knowledge is stored in business applications. And in most cases, such knowledge is lost when employees are dismissed.
The following facts are interesting: an average company with an income of $ 1 billion uses 48 different financial systems and 2.7
ERP systems, while 55% of customer service deployment (
CRM ) projects do not meet user requirements, 70% of
CRM implementations failed. 42% of licenses for CRM-systems were never used, more than 40% of implementations of enterprise resource management systems (
ERP ) caused difficulties for users. We give a few more numbers. More than 80% of the information related to the main activity of the company is stored on users' hard drives and is thus not available for use by other company employees. On average, 20% of work time is spent on e-mail, from 50% to 75% of corporate information is transmitted by people - this means that such information is not stored in a user-friendly form and is retrieved and converted before it becomes available to employees.
