NetSuite for Consultants

By: Peter Ries

Overview of this book

NetSuite For Consultants takes a hands-on approach to help ERP and CRM consultants implement NetSuite quickly and efficiently, as well deepen their understanding of its implementation methodology. During the course of this book, you’ll get a clear picture of what NetSuite is, how it works, and how accounts, support, and updates work within its ecosystem. Understanding what a business needs is a critical first step toward completing any software product implementation, so you'll learn how to write business requirements by learning about the various departments, roles, and processes in the client's organization. Once you've developed a solid understanding of NetSuite and your client, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge to configure accounts and test everything with the users. You’ll also learn how to manage both functional and technical issues that arise post-implementation and handle them like a professional. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the necessary skills and knowledge to implement NetSuite for businesses and get things up and running in the shortest possible time.

  2. Would it be a good idea to tell your client that the project goals you establish at the beginning of the project are set in stone and are the only goals you'll have for the entire set of work?
  3. How will you remind your clients of the goals at the end of the project and show them how your team measured up against them?
  4. Have you ever started a set of work by asking "How do you want this to work?" How did that go? And how did the project end up?
  5. Imagine you're working with a client who is constantly throwing out new requirements throughout...
