An ERP contract isn’t just paperwork—it’s your leverage, timeline, and future wrapped into one document.

In this GovTech episode, Megan sits down with Avero Project Manager Billie to unpack everything public-sector leaders need to consider before signing an ERP implementation contract. From vendor pressure to hidden risks, they share firsthand insights on what makes or breaks a successful negotiation.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your leverage disappears the moment you sign
  • How Phase 0 and a solid needs assessment protect your position
  • What “go-live” actually means—and how to define it up front
  • What to do when vendors apply deadline pressure
  • Why line-by-line review and legal counsel are non-negotiable
  • How to structure payment terms and milestones around your internal needs

The goal isn’t to stall. It’s to get it right. A rushed contract today can create years of regret tomorrow.
