Your NetSuite Implementation didn't fail. Your post implementation plan did
Updated: Aug 28
Hot take: Your NetSuite implementation didn't fail. Your post-implementation plan did.
Which is to say, you didn't have one. The spreadsheets are back. Finance are doing manual reconciliations. Someone has built a workaround so elegant it's basically a second ERP. Your NetSuite Implementation deserves better.
Nobody knows who configured that saved search in 2025 but everyone is terrified to touch it.
Here's what good can actually look like after go-live: a named internal owner who genuinely cares about the system (not just the person who got 'telt' they're dae'in it). Regular health checks.
A process for capturing what's broken before it becomes load bearing. Users who feel confident enough to raise problems rather than quietly route around them. And a roadmap even a scrappy one for what comes next.
It's not glamorous. It doesn't make for a great case study. But it's the difference between a system that compounds in value over time and one that slowly becomes a very expensive place to store bad data.
Controversial opinion for a Tuesday: go-live is just the beginning of the work, not the end of it.
