“What about implementation?” asks your operations manager. Nobody has a clear answer. Two weeks later, another email arrives: implementation will cost \u20b910 lakhs. Then training: \u20b91.5 lakhs. Then customisation: \u20b95 lakhs. Infrastructure, data migration, integrations \u2014 each one adding more cost.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By go-live, you’ve spent \u20b925 lakhs. Your CFO asks why the real numbers weren’t transparent from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
