Even after decades of research, the implementation of integrated management systems (ERP) remains challenging, and although the study of successful cases is fundamental to learn management, the value of the study of failure cases also stands out. The objective of this research is to indicate lessons learned in cases of failure to implement ERP systems in Brazil. To this end, a bibliographic search is made on articles that report Brazilian cases, identifying the lessons learned in each case in that specific cultural context. The techniques of content analysis and adaptation to a standard (identified in foreign studies) indicate lessons of alert and suggestion regarding the management of projects and people, systems integration, functional scope, definition of processes and customizations -technical, managerial and humans. It is concluded that these lessons learned, particular to the context of each company that went through this experience, contribute to managers and researchers, with more than general concepts, but with specific lessons directly applicable to the context of their own practical experiences and verification the application (or not) of theoretical factors.
