Excerpt from the Konradin Study 2007:
"The runtime of projects has in comparison to the survey in 2005 become shorter over all the surveyed time spans. This meant that a quarter of the companies were already able to use their ERP solution after 3 months, in 2005 this was still 16.4%. This is also an indication that the projects overall have become lower scale and clearer, also displayed through the investments. In 29.7% of the businesses the implementation took 4 to 6 months (2005 = 32%). In 30.7% of the businesses the implementation took 7 to 12 months (2005 = 33.3%). About 15.7% required longer than a year (2005 = 18.4%). In the industry sectors of the process industry, metal industry, machine construction and electronic industry the system implementation took an average of 9.3 months. This is slightly shorter than the time it took two years ago."

Excerpt from the Konradin Study 2007:
"The average implementation period of the abas Business Software is 0.4 months longer than two years ago at 8.1 months. Apart from the implementation period for projects up to 3 months which has almost doubled, the numbers in the other time windows have only increased very slightly. However, the number of projects which take longer than a year have decreased drastically."
