How to choose a NetSuite consulting firm to implement your ERP. 

How to choose a NetSuite consulting firm to implement your ERP.

Before we begin discussing the reasons for choosing a NetSuite consulting service, it's worth remembering what Oracle NetSuite is. Oracle NetSuite offers a unified platform that integrates various business modules, such as accounting, finance, CRM, inventory management, and more. 

This allows the company to obtain a real and up-to-date view of all operations. Being a cloud-based solution, NetSuite allows remote access to data and functionalities, facilitating collaboration between teams and enabling managers to make informed decisions from anywhere.

In an increasingly fast-paced world, making quick decisions is no longer a differentiator but a necessity. Many companies today lack a clear, real-time view of their entire process and workflow. 

With its powerful budgeting and planning capabilities, Oracle NetSuite is able to do this in a simple and fast process.

Once we know which tool is best, including other solutions that address these demands (for example, PBCS for NetSuite), we are able to streamline your corporate governance and provide tools for making decisions quickly and consciously.

But the tool alone is not enough. You need to think about a partner who is capable of translating your business into this powerful tool. 

Although the Oracle NetSuite system serves more than 30 clients, each company is unique and has its own particularities that are often the differentiating factors of the business.

Find a NetSuite consulting firm with proven experience.

It is important to seek references from NetSuite consulting firms that have actually completed similar projects and have experience in various segments and processes. 

Active Cloud Solutions is the oldest NetSuite consulting firm and partner operating in Brazil, with over 10 years of experience with the Oracle NetSuite product. Since the product's arrival in Brazil, it has been building this reputation in the country.

Fast, cheap, and well-made doesn't exist.

Active is one of the few NetSuite consulting firms that has accelerated implementation methodologies, but remember that implementing management software affects all of your company's processes. 

For this process to be done well, it requires time, dedication (especially from the client), and well-defined processes. Many projects fail when the client quotes a high-value service as if it were the purchase of an off-the-shelf product.

The balance between customization and performance in NetSuite consulting.

When it comes to a 100% cloud-based system, it's important to understand that any modification made to the product tends to impact its performance sooner or later, causing its TCO (total cost of ownership) to increase significantly over time. 

NetSuite's consulting expertise in the product and its entire architecture allows for the leveraging of customization features, workflow tools, and various other native solutions without the need for customization. 

This ensures that, over time, the client preserves the processing capacity of their system and, consequently, there is a decrease in the need for increasingly critical infrastructure to support operations.

Evaluate the team of experts at your NetSuite consulting firm.

Management software of this size has more than 70 modules, each with hundreds of functionalities, and each functionality with many unique features. 

It's hard to believe that a new partner, with less than 5 years of experience, is capable of fully exploring all the functionalities of NetSuite. SENIORITY takes time to acquire, and this certainly impacts the quality, timeline, and cost of your project. 

Check the CNPJ (Brazilian company registration number) of your NetSuite partner, look for the length of their partnership with the manufacturer, check the professionals from that company on LinkedIn, see what certifications that partner holds, and ultimately, make sure you are working with the right NetSuite consulting firm.

In short, it's pointless to choose the best car if you take it to an unqualified mechanic or use poor quality parts and fuel. Everything you do or use in your car will, sooner or later, affect how the system works.

Recently, we had a case where a client sought our help in mapping the cloud integration infrastructure needed to integrate their Oracle NetSuite system with their legacy systems. 

The client had already consulted with two NetSuite firms that offered both the simplest and the most expensive solutions: migrating to a different TIER (TIER classification is a type of certification that aims to attest to the performance and reliability of data center infrastructures) and acquiring processing queues (known in the case of NetSuite as SuiteCLOUD+). 

This might be necessary for gigantic volumes, but that wasn't the case for this client. With just a process adjustment, clear understanding, and modification of the integration, we implemented NetSuite integrations with legacy systems, without the need to acquire complex cloud infrastructures.

Choose the right partner! Cheap can be expensive! NetSuite consulting makes all the difference.
