Novutech, the partner of choice for your NetSuite implementation project

The experienceWhen choosing Novutech, you are actually choosing a diverse and experienced team which is able to understand your needs, challenge your processes, and design the best solutions to streamline your operations and boost your business.Currently, our team can rely on 17 functional consultants, with up to 10 years of NetSuite experience in almost all business areas, 5 technical consultants well versed in suitescripts, integrations, and other plug-ins, 1 expert accountant who will resolve any of your localisation issues, and a vast network of trusted partners who make it possible to optimise your NetSuite environment even further.The valuesBeside our functional and technical experience with NetSuite, we make a point of being fully transparent and building a strong and trusting relationship with our customers.During your project with us, here is what you can expect :

• A focus on a ready-to-go implementation, based on NetSuite’s proven and sound standard capabilities.
• Being challenged to follow NetSuite best practices, based on both NetSuite’s standard design and our own experience resulting from our 20+ implementations in the last 3 years.
• A constant and completely transparent communication throughout the whole project. We will not sugarcoat any obstacles and will always advise you the best we can in order to make sure you reach your objectives and even surpass them.
• Regular status reports and updates about timelines, risks and impacts.
• A lot of flexibility, not only in our services (consulting services, project management, training and support), but also in NetSuite (customisations, add-ons, integrations).

The approachIn order to meet our common goals, we follow a structured methodology, consisting of 4 different stages.

• Engage

The engagement phase of the project is dedicated to getting acquainted with each other and getting to know your business.Thanks to detailed questionnaires, we collect the first pieces of information regarding your business and internal processes.We also kick off the project with all interested parties in order to ensure everyone is aligned and all the people involved are identified and know their role during the project.

• Drive

1. ArchitectWe organise workshops with your teams in order to dive into your operations and daily activities. We gather all the necessary information in a design document which we continuously amend with you in order to scope the project precisely and sign off on a final architecture.
2. Configure and PrototypeBased on the workshops and the design document, we build a series of prototypes in a test environment, which we put to the test with your teams to ensure they allow all employees to perform their daily tasks in the most optimal and accurate way. When the final prototype stands the test of process owners, we deploy it in the live environment and prepare for go-live.

• Enable

Before go-live, we ensure the users have the necessary knowledge of the system and feel confident that they can go through NetSuite’s workflows without any complications.With User Acceptance Testing, training guides and ongoing assistance, we support users throughout their learning journey, deal with their concerns and take special care of making them comfortable with the new tool they will be using on a daily basis.

• Convert

The last step of our projects is supporting our customer during the go-live phase and making ourselves available to help them resolve any issues they may have. We also assist them with the migration of the balances from their previous software and with their first closing, and encourage them to take ownership of their NetSuite environment.
