From start-ups to enterprises, NetSuite is the number one cloud-based ERP solution for those looking for an agile system to support their dynamic business needs. It is a widely deployed solution that increases productivity, speeds up processes, and promotes better decision-making through increased visibility across siloed business systems. Â
In fact, NetSuite users report up to a 300% boost in productivity and a significant reduction in administrative costs. For many businesses, it is the critical missing piece needed to support growth goals, supercharge sales, and augment performance. Â
However, NetSuite implementation is not a quick walk-in-the park process. It requires careful end-to-end planning and expertise through installation, maintenance, ongoing management, and system optimization. This way, NetSuite continues to nimbly keep in pace with your changing business needs for years to come. Â
Technology is what you make of it – if you have implemented NetSuite but continue to notice bottlenecks and visibility gaps; or, if you aren’t sure whether your business is properly utilizing your investment to derive maximum benefits, then you must get a NetSuite Health Check done ASAP.Â
In this article, we will look at why a NetSuite Health Check is the most critical business-decision you can make and how it will impact the growth and success of your team.Â
The NetSuite Value – Now and Later
NetSuite’s wide range of ERP management solutions allows you to connect teams and systems, streamline data processing and reporting, and effectively manage limited resources. This way, you are always fine-tuned for growth. NetSuite also gives key decision-makers real-time visibility into your entire company’s data to help them make the right decision each time.Â
Even after a successful NetSuite implementation, many businesses are unable continue generating an impressive, or any, ROI. This often results from attempting to handle ongoing maintenance and optimizations internally, without the necessary expertise. This causes the value attained from ERP to decay over time, giving rise to what we call a value gap. The gap continues to widen as your business and teams evolve through the years if the system isn’t optimized to handle growth and all the changes that come with it. Â
Ongoing ERP management is a necessary step in preventing the occurrence and growth of this value gap. If you haven’t been maintaining and optimizing your NetSuite, a NetSuite Health Check will quickly get you back on the right track. Â

How to get the most from a NetSuite Health CheckÂ
The first step towards getting the most from your NetSuite implementation is using a qualified team of experts to perform your Health Check.Â
Choose a team that has thousands of hours of experience working with businesses just like yours, as well as time in the hot seat – your seat. From implementation to management and beyond, the right ERP implementation partner will know how to audit your business and get NetSuite working to its full potential.Â
Understanding your business and its specific needs is key to getting NetSuite to work for you. During your NetSuite Health Check, the right partner will perform a thorough analysis to identify improvement spots, recognize and configure the right ERP solution, and maintain it for continued success.Â
ERP is expensive – combining the right system with the right implementation partner is what can make or break your investment. While NetSuite offers various cloud solutions to help businesses grow, partners like E78 Partners develop real solutions focused on your business-specific needs. Â
NetSuite is a very powerful tool, but it is important to remember that all businesses are different. A one-size-fits-all approach is rarely effective.
