NetSuite implementation and training

This phase typically accounts for half to two-thirds of the overall cost. A few simple factors we use when estimating are the number and type of NetSuite modules, the number of system users and your ability to define requirements during the sales process. Instead of facing a steeper learning curve later, you’ll work with our NetSuite consultants inside your account starting in the early stages of implementation to get you up to speed as soon as possible.

The requirements and cost here can vary widely depending on the complexity of your processes. NetSuite ERP is designed to be highly configurable with little effort. When customization gaps are identified, we typically present three options: manual workaround (lowest cost or free), fully customized (most expensive) and semi-customized (a middle-ground approach). The result is a precise balance of cost, timeline and customization to fit your needs and budget.

The final cost consideration is training. RSM’s education-oriented approach moves your stakeholders up the learning curve so they can become familiar with NetSuite quickly. As their knowledge increases, they can help with configuration and solution design, train other users and advocate for NetSuite within your organization. Training is more of an ongoing process than a single event, and many stakeholders become NetSuite power-users, eager to explore deeper functionality.
