Industry analysts at the Gartner Group warn that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation failure rates are between 55% and 75%. The good news is that most ERP implementation failures can be avoided with the right support team. The key to a successful NetSuite implementation is to have an experienced and certified consultant as a long-term tactical and strategic partner.
An ERP implementation involves much more than switching out the old software for new software. Implementing a modern ERP solution like NetSuite gives you the opportunity for a complete business transformation. The right NetSuite consulting and implementation project team will help you get the most out of your investment and help reach your growth goals.
Learn How Dynavistics and NetSuite Help Modernize Your Supply Chain
- Coordinate with your internal teams – Your employees are the best source for details on the day-to-day operations. Your ERP consultants will need access to your internal teams to assist with successful implementation since NetSuite is designed to streamline processes and improve the efficiency of task completion. Ideally, you will create an internal steering committee. This team usually consists of C-level stakeholders, a project manager for oversight, and a core team with IT and key users from each department.
- Focus on business process improvement – You need an experienced consultant to apply NetSuite’s capabilities to your unique business. You will end up disappointed if you fail to place attention to business process improvement. A common mistake is to try to take the current state of your business processes and simply transfer everything over to your new ERP system. Implementing a new ERP as powerful and flexible as NetSuite presents the opportunity to identify and improve, or eliminate processes that aren’t working. Your consultant will guide you on the best approach to adjust or eliminate any inefficient processes so your migration results in making your business as efficient as possible.
- Provide training to ensure user adoption – An experienced implementation consultant understands that change is scary. Allocating enough time and effort in training users will help ensure user adoption.
- Offer ongoing support – Your consultant offers resources for ongoing support to get the most out of the new system. Users will have access to get the help they need when they need it.
- Long-term continuous optimization – Once you are released from the limitations of your old system, you will have the business intelligence to become more strategic. Your NetSuite ERP consultant will be a critical resource to help analyze what areas can be improved after you are up and running. You may need to extend your capabilities with NetSuite supply chain 3rd-party solutions, customization, or more automation that was not part of the initial setup and implementation.
