I specified and architected an internal ERP system (PLM/SRM side) to replace a paper system. This was a big Oracle/web thing in the early 00's at the peak of Six Sigma. This was resisted by the engineering teams who had been using the old system since WW2. Rather than use it, there was a mini strike that resulted in nearly 50 engineers taking retirement and lead to a national scandal when a huge defence project was delayed and over budget. It was one of the largest contributing factors of the project failure.
After doing lots of post mortem analysis, the paper system was far more capable and had a better audit trail and most of the objections that were formed were entirely spot on. But we steamrolled them because we were under the six sigma project flag.
After seeing the shit show and reflection, I quit and got a shit job throwing web sites together.
