Accelerating time to value through proven implementation practices

Through end-user conversations across hundreds of ERP, SCM, CPM, HCM, Analytics, and CRM implementations, Nucleus found that strategic execution determines time to value. Organizations that define outcomes early, sequence integrations, clean data, and train by role shorten time to value by 25 to 40 percent and achieve stable adoption faster. Clear change narratives and early stakeholder mapping help prevent a return to legacy workflows. Phased rollouts validate integrations in smaller scopes, deliver early wins, and create budget flexibility. Strong vendor partnerships accelerate configuration decisions and limit over-customization, contributing to a 20 percent improvement in time to value. In contrast, weak execution extends timelines by roughly 30 percent and overruns budgets by about 25 percent, which delays adoption. Treating scope, data, and enablement as managed workstreams with tracked metrics converts investment into measurable outcomes sooner and sustains those gains at scale.
