If you are in the process of implementing NetSuite but feel that things aren't going quite to plan, it might be time to seek a second opinion.
Common signs that your project progress needs to be reviewed include:
The project is behind schedule
The project is over budget
There is a lack of clarity around objectives and deliverables
There is friction between the implementation team and other stakeholders
You are not seeing the expected return on investment
There are many reasons why projects fail, but when it comes to NetSuite implementations, there are some common mistakes that we see over and over again:
One of the most common mistakes we see is that clients don't define their objectives early enough in the process. Without clear objectives, it is difficult to scope out the project properly and set realistic expectations. This can lead to surprises later on down the line as additional functionality is required that wasn't accounted for in the initial budget.
Trying to save money by not utilizing an experienced NetSuite implementation partner is another common mistake that can lead to project failure. This usually leads to issues further down the line as businesses realize they need more support than they anticipated. It is important to remember that a successful NetSuite implementation can lead to long-term cost savings, so it is important to invest in the right team from the start.
Another common issue we see is a lack of change management. Implementing a new ERP system is a big change for any organization, and it is important to have a plan in place to manage this change. This includes training employees, and establishing new processes, and communication plans. Without proper change management, it is difficult to ensure that everyone is on board with the new system and knows how to use it effectively.
The first step is to meet with you and your team to discuss the project in detail. We’ll review your current business processes, systems, and data to fully understand your needs.
After we understand your specific needs, we’ll develop a detailed project plan outlining the work scope, deliverables, timeline, and budget.
Once the project plan is approved, our team will start working on the solution design. This includes mapping your current business processes to NetSuite and designing any customizations or integrations that may be required.
Our team of functional and technical consultants will work our your NetSuite account to configure the modules, features and functionality to align with your businesses processes.
Once the system is configured, we’ll provide you with a demonstration of the solution. Once you’ve signed off on the demonstration, we’ll start working on your user acceptance testing (UAT) environment.
After UAT is complete and you’re happy with the solution, we’ll go live with your new NetSuite system. And even after go-live, our team will be there to provide training and support as needed.
