Implementation timelines of 18–36 months with no go-live guarantee — institutions frequently exceed budget and miss deadlines
24–36 month implementations with significant budget overrun risk — corporate ERP timelines applied to academic workflows are consistently problematic
24–48 month implementations — the longest in the sector, with the highest rate of deadline overruns and project failures in higher education ERP history
Requires an internal IT team to host, configure, and maintain — the "free" licence accumulates rapidly in IT staff overhead, server costs, and custom development
HEI workflows hit the ceiling — complex admissions pipelines, credit management, and multi-campus operations require manual workarounds outside the platform
Built entirely around the US school model — institutions outside North America face significant gaps in compliance, currency support, and localisation for Asia-Pacific regulatory frameworks
