From the Paper:

"Change management refers to changing how people work with the systems in place as a result of re-architected processes. The fact that change management is often 70% of the cost of an enterprise application implementation shows how difficult this transition in behavior can be, Dyche (2002), who writes extensively on change management as it relates to Customer Relationship Management systems. In the article, The Hard Side of Change Management (2005) the authors present a framework for planning and initiating change management programs."
