Choosing to engage a NetSuite solution partner to manage your NetSuite implementation rather than attempting it yourself offers several distinct advantages, particularly in terms of expertise, efficiency, and long-term benefits.
Here’s why working with a NetSuite partner is often the preferred approach:
Dedicated expertise and a depth of experience
NetSuite solution partners are certified and have in-depth specialist knowledge of the platform. They are trained specifically in the intricacies of NetSuite, including best practices for integration and customisation.
Choosing a NetSuite partner means that you will gain all the benefits of that partner’s history of successful implementations across various industries. A partner with wide ranging experience will bring valuable insights from previous projects that can help in avoiding common pitfalls that you’re not even aware of.
Greater efficiency and speed of deployment
With their experience, your NetSuite partner will streamline the implementation process, significantly reducing the time required to get the system up and running.
With dedicated teams to handle different aspects of the implementation, including business consultants, information architects and technical specialists, ensuring that each part of the process is handled by a specialist who knows their job inside-out.
A customised solution that scales as you grow
An experienced NetSuite solution partner will be able to customise the platform to fit your specific business needs, ensuring that the implementation aligns perfectly with your operational requirements.
Additionally, a good partner will develop the system with future scalability in mind, making it easier to expand and adapt the system as your business grows.
Reduced risk
Given their experience and expertise, a dedicated NetSuite partner will lower the risk to your business as they are much less likely to make errors during the implementation process. As well as being dedicated NetSuite experts, they will have specialist project management skills and will develop an implementation process which reduces the risk of running into issues that could disrupt your business operations.
NetSuite partners will be aware of specific compliance issues and will often have specialist knowledge of specific sectors. This means that they can ensure that the implementation complies with industry standards and best practices, which can be particularly important for regulated industries.
Ongoing aftercare support and training
Post-integration, a good NetSuite partner will provide ongoing support and maintenance, ensuring that any issues are promptly addressed, and the system continues to run smoothly. But good NetSuite support runs further than this and can be an enabler to faster growth, with ongoing enhancements, extensions and evolved processes, transforming support from a cost centre to a profit centre.
A partner is more cost-effective
DIY implementation can lead to costly mistakes or oversights that may require expensive fixes. A NetSuite partners will help you to avoid these errors, which can save money in the long run.
Not only that, but by outsourcing the implementation to a partner, you can optimise your resources, leaving your internal team to focus on their core competencies and responsibilities, and maximizing overall productivity.
Access to advanced tools and resources
NetSuite partners often have access to advanced tools and resources that are not available to general NetSuite users, enhancing the quality and efficiency of the implementation. Some may have proprietary tools and processes that they’ve developed from learnings gained over several implementations – that your implementation will automatically benefit from.
NetSuite partners are the first to know about any new updates or innovations, as well as having built up a repository of tips and tricks, ensuring that your system benefits from the most current features, techniques and improvements.
Make ERP Experts your NetSuite partner
While it might seem cost-effective to ask your IT department to handle the implementation of NetSuite, the complexity and potential risks involved often make it worthwhile to invest in a NetSuite partner. Their expertise, efficiency, and comprehensive support will often lead to a more successful and sustainable NetSuite implementation, ultimately providing greater value for your business.
