Effective management of its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is crucial for the continuous success of an organization. In addition to a well-organized implementation technique, a vital system like NetSuite Cloud ERP should be periodically enhanced to maintain optimal performance. Even after successful implementation, when not managed or maintained properly, businesses may struggle to achieve the desired return on investments (ROIs).
Understanding NetSuite Health Checks
So, what is a NetSuite Health Check?
A Health Check for NetSuite is a comprehensive process of analysis and review of the performance of NetSuite in your organization. It includes:
- A detailed assessment of your existing NetSuite implementation and architecture
- Identification of barriers to optimum use
- Proposed solutions to the identified challenges
Through this process, a NetSuite solution provider will be able to help you understand the potential risks and benefits, enhance awareness of the otherwise unused capacities in your NetSuite system, and provides practical easy-to-implement recommendations for improvement.
Importance of NetSuite Health Check
Despite NetSuite procedures being designed with industry best practices, they allow for adaptations to meet specific company needs. To accommodate these needs, many NetSuite users modify their setups, introducing custom records, scripts, fields, and saved searches. Keeping track of these changes over time can be challenging, leading to a potentially chaotic environment and a slower user experience. In addition, issues including process hindrances, transparency, the absence of substantial productivity increases, or a disparate rise in managerial expenses may be identified.
You may boost productivity and efficiency by organizing and cleaning up your ERP system with the aid of a NetSuite health check. This process highlights areas where performance improvements can be made.
When is a NetSuite Health Check Required
Consider a health check in the following situations:
• When you realize that your current NetSuite setup is not efficiently supporting your business requirements.
• When you need to include extra capabilities to your NetSuite ERP.
• When goals set during the initial implementation are not met.
• When you introduce new business lines, products, services, or enter new markets.
• When you employ NetSuite ERP for some time, the processes must be enhanced to meet leading industry standards.
• When you believe improvements can be made to assets, regulations, and validations in your NetSuite instance.
• During business restructures, reorganizations, or due to new legislative requirements.
• When you look to accelerate the return on your ERP investment.
• As part of regular ERP software assessment.
