Frequently Asked Questions

Designing an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is a complex process and requires careful planning, collaboration, and attention to detail throughout the design and implementation process.

Avoid these common oversights:

Inadequate Requirements Gathering: Failing to gather comprehensive requirements from stakeholders can lead to a mismatch between the ERP system’s capabilities and the organization’s needs. It is crucial to involve all relevant departments and personnel in the requirements gathering process to ensure that the ERP system addresses all functional and operational requirements.

Insufficient Performance and Scalability: ERP systems must be able to manage the organization’s current workload and scale to accommodate future growth. Inadequate performance and scalability can lead to system slowdowns, downtime, and decreased productivity. It is essential to conduct thorough performance testing and capacity planning to ensure that the ERP system can meet the organization’s needs now and in the future.

Lack of Integration: ERP systems often need to integrate with other software applications and systems within the organization’s IT landscape. Failure to plan for integration requirements can result in data silos, manual data entry, and inefficiencies in information flow. It is essential to identify integration points early in the design phase and develop robust integration strategies and interfaces.

Inadequate User Training and Change Management: Users’ resistance to change and lack of proper training can hinder the successful adoption of an ERP system. It is essential to invest in comprehensive user training programs and change management initiatives to prepare employees for the transition to the new system and mitigate resistance.

Unlike other business expenses such as utilities, tax preparation, bank fees and slow-moving inventory, technology serves as an investment that can yield positive returns in terms of increased revenue, reduced costs, improved efficiency, and sustained growth over time. It is essential for businesses to prioritize technology strategies and opportunities. Currently companies spend up to 18% of their revenue on Information Technology (Source: Flexera 2022 Tech Spend Pulse), but as technology continues to improve in its capacity to serve people, the investment in technology will only increase.

We all rely on technology to simplify and improve our lives. Companies that embrace technology innovation gain a competitive edge over their peers. From online shopping platforms to a complex ecosystem of suppliers, partners, and stakeholders. Technology facilitates seamless connectivity and collaboration within this ecosystem, enabling companies to share information, coordinate activities, and create value together.

Technology drives every business, and an aging system can have a profound implications. On January 11th, 2023, the FAA grounded all US flights due a system failure of one of their critical systems. Known by its acronym NOTAM, the Notice to Air Missions System provides last-minute alerts to pilots and flight crews about hazards — weather, runway closures, and so on — in advance of other warnings. “Basically, NOTAMs let pilots know if something is, for example, under repairs or closed at an airport. Anything from broken runway lights to taxiways closed due to construction,” explains Kathleen Bangs, a former pilot and spokesperson for FlightAware, a real-time flight tracker.

This is a notable example of how waiting too long can negatively affect your organization. In response to NATAM and other outdated technology the FAA earmarked $1 billion to modernize its aging infrastructure.

Client Success Stories

Our advanced analytics tools and data management solutions provide actionable insights

I am frequently asked “What is the most important thing to a successful NetSuite implementation”? My answer is always “The people on the implementation team”. Kim Alessi was at the helm of our successful implementation, from day one drafting the Business Requirements Document through our Go-Live, and beyond. Kim brought curiosity and dedication to the project, along with her knowledge of NetSuite and accounting background. Her pleasant personality and contagious laugh make Kim a pleasure to work with.

Jimmy MaritzVP Special Projects at Warson Brands

I am the Accounting/HR manager and NetSuite administrator for a smaller company in Longmont. I also work closely with our operations manager, who is the NetSuite systems administrator for our company too. We are both beyond grateful for the partnership our company has had with Cory, and his team, over the past few years. Cory’s knowledge of NetSuite, and passion to help others, is apparent through the active role he holds with the Rocky Mountain NetSuite User Group (RMNSUG) and his many years of NetSuite experience. I know we couldn’t have asked for a better NetSuite partner for our business!

Accounting/HR Manager & NetSuite Administrator

I was looking for a thought partner and someone who could make sure we set things up the right way, the first time as our timetable was very short. Kim was extremely professional and answered all my questions quickly and accurately. Where Kim differentiates herself, is that she doesn’t just check the boxes and move on. She understood our implementation plan and our business model. Kim made suggestions on custom fields and links/demos for plugins that became invaluable to the implementation and our internal accounting team.

Jonathan SanbornCPA, Director of Finance, BQ Advisors

I cannot sing Cory’s praises enough. After going through several consultants who found our requests a bit daunting, we found Cory. Not only did Cory actually listen to what we needed he delivered our workflows and produced a better ERP environment for us to work in. Cory streamlined a path from Order Entry through Purchasing, Planning, Production all the way through Finance. Cory delivers with a smile a sense of humor and warmth not often found in Computer Technology. I hope we can keep Cory as a consultant for a long time, but I also hope you get to experience the amazingness that is Cory!
