When you’re embarking on the journey to a new cloud software solution for your business, it can be hard to articulate your needs clearly. Especially when you don’t know how the technology works.
Implementing the wrong ERP can have devastating effects for your business. And you’ll end up spending good money after bad, trying to “fix” it, when it was never going to work in the first place.
Why you should outline your NetSuite or ERP scope.
By spending just a few days with your team, we can help you identify the critical functions in your business and draft a request for proposal that will account for everything your business might need from a cloud ERP software solution.
Our NetSuite project scoping and Cloud ERP scoping workshops will help you to create a clearly defined scope of work (SOW), helping your business to:
Have experts with a business first, technology second approach lead your scoping process.- Capture all your functionality requirements so there are no surprises during implementation.
- Eliminate risk to achieve a positive implementation outcome.
- Have peace of mind that your scope of work hasn’t missed a critical business requirement.
- Lay a solid foundation for your implementation project .
- Clearly evaluate vendor proposals so you implement the best solution for your business.
Our two approaches to solution scoping
Netsuite scoping consultations
If you’ve already decided that NetSuite is the solution you’d like to implement into your business, our team of NetSuite specialists will guide you in confirming your NetSuite Project Scope.
In this solution discovery phase, we use SuiteSuccess – an approach that will assess your fit to any pre-built NetSuite configurations that are right for your business, based on studies of thousands of similar businesses.
This is unlike a traditional Business Requirement Document (BRD) approach, where we design your system from the ground up. SuiteSuccess gives you a highly polished day 1 experience and all we need to find are the tweaks or exceptions that make your business unique.
Combining our specialised business knowledge to identify the unique needs of your business with the SuiteSuccess methodology, helps us to customise your NetSuite requirements, minimise business risk and optimise your implementation plan.
Our NetSuite solution scoping process includes
- Alignment Workshops
Our team spend 1 – 2 days running alignment workshops with your business and team. During these sessions, we undertake a guided process of requirements gathering to assess your unique needs and how they fit with the functionality and capabilities of NetSuite SuiteSuccess.
- NetSuite Gap Analysis
The NetSuite gap analysis allows us to identify any functionality requirements that are not “out of the box” and find solutions so your NetSuite implementation will go to plan.
- A documented NetSuite Scope of Work
Deliver a documented NetSuite scope of work that gives you detailed deliverables for a fixed price.
- Focus On Your Core Business
Your business can focus on its core operations while we handle the ERP system.
- Make faster, more accurate business decisions
Thanks to faster access to business data that will allow you to focus your efforts on specific outcomes.
ERP solution scoping
It’s no secret that we love NetSuite. But with our decades of business experience, we know that it’s not the right choice for everyone.
If you’re not sure which ERP solution is right for your business, then our fully software agnostic ERP Solution Scoping process was made for you.
Designed to give you the ability to articulate your challenges in a clear and concise way, we’ll work with your team to hone in on your requirements and produce a Request For Proposal (RFP) that will help you get clear and concise responses from potential ERP vendors.
Our ERP solution scoping process includes
We approach our ERP Scoping Workshops from a business perspective, instead of a technology perspective. This is so we can isolate exceptions or tricky processes that are unique to your business, instead of just ticking ERP functionality boxes that any ERP system can do (such as multi-currency landed cost or 3-way matching).
We deliver a documented RFP that you can put out to tender with multiple ERP vendors. You’ll have confidence knowing that you’ve covered all your bases and can adequately evaluate the responses to make an informed business decision about your ERP implementation.
Our team spend 2 days on site with your process leads to isolate your specific business requirements.
