I would not recommend it at that scale. You’ll grind your sales people down for no good reason, and flush several million dollars down the toilet on a project that will most likely get canceled and several people fired (gotta have fall guys at that level...). The right time to implement an ERP is at the last possible second that you are legally or contractually obligated to, or a make or break $50-100M sales contract is in play. And in the latter case, losing the contract and flushing the SAP project down the toilet are real risks. I’ve lived this project at a company the size you describe and it ended very poorly.
