The Client-Side Project Manager holds the key to a successful NetSuite implementation. With expertise on your side, you significantly increase the chances of a successful implementation.
Experience
Are you thinking about or preparing for a NetSuite implementation? Managing a NetSuite implementation can be a full-time job. Do you have the in-house resources and expertise to dedicate to the project? I’ve been involved in hundreds of NetSuite projects. Let us help you by acting as your client-side Project Manager.
Focus on the project
ERP implementation can fail, and some of the most common reasons I have encountered include inadequate internal support, failure to prioritize the project, and lack of internal experience. As a dedicated client-side project manager, I will provide the focus and expertise required to complete the project on time and on budget.
