Missing Budget For IT Personnel

Most of the organizations seem in a hurry while getting their implementation done which in result make everyone rush the implementation process and sets over expectations that lead to partial failure.

All you need to map the time and cost required to impact your project. Be honest for your company and demonstrate your loyalty by adopting a realistic approach by hiring a required number of resources and giving ample time to ensure optimal utilization of the solution.

Some times inviting less customization than its actual requirement can also be a downfall deal for your business. So, make sure that you are availing the level of customization that you need.

Introducing change in later stages can also be an expensive deal so, make an early plan for it. Also, do not forget to invest in training your resources to ensure that your staff is ready to adopt the new technology and maximize its use. If requires, do not hesitate to hire new IT resources just to educate your staff or else more NetSuite implementation cost will be associated later that may affect your initial budget.

Implementation At Once
It’s not easy to determine all the key implementation requirements up front, perform implementation, train the end-users, and going live. So, do not migrate the entire data in a one-shot, decide what data you actually need and make migrating decision accordingly.

Similarly, do not spend time and money on customization and integration that is not allied to your present need. Be aware of the integration you need in present or in the near future. Do not look for over integration as it may end up soon with zero results.

To prevent such issues, you need to involve the employees from every department across your organization including field team and store team so as they can know what changes ought to be, the benefits of ERP system, and how it will impact to ensure smoother workflow.
