Why do NetSuite Customers need to consider an alternate ERP with Built in Integration ?

Even after investing in ERP solutions like NetSuite, customers migrating to Versa Cloud ERP have faced issues with third-party integration

Unlike NetSuite which requires the use of Third Party Connectors for integration with other applications and services like eCommerce Shopping Carts, Marketplaces, Payment Processors, and the like, NetSuite customers were happy to see that the Versa Cloud ERP system came with the integration they needed already built-in into the ERP. Eliminating the need for 3rd Party Connectors makes problem resolution as well as changing these integrations quicker and easier than dealing with multiple parties.

Integration Challenges with NetSuite:

Performance Bottlenecks

Each integration platform may have its limitations on API calls which creates performance bottlenecks on data transfer rates. Some integration platforms may not scale well as data volumes increase which is why considering the capacity or limitations of your integration platform is important.

Different Integration Methods Followed by Different Organizations:

• SuiteTalk API makes it possible for developers to complete NetSuite integration with any application with exposed APIs even when there is a complex business requirement. The SuiteTalk API exposes the web service of the NetSuite. This approach is not very useful for companies as they require to have in-house NetSuite experts. Executing such a project can be a very expensive and never-ending process.
• Some of the organizations also try building a custom adapter which would make the applications speak to each other. This approach is often time-consuming as it requires a lot of scripting. It also can run into unwarranted issues, as the integration requirements are often dynamic and require a lot of iterations to build a fully functional solution.
• The most popular approach to integrate NetSuite is by third-party integration providers.

This results in Costly and Complex Custom Coding. Businesses have to rely on cost and time-consuming methods to build a connection between the existing applications and NetSuite due to it lacking any pre-built connectors. This results in budget overruns and delays in implementation.

In addition, these integrations might not be at the level of proficiency the organization requires them at. Any mistakes here can be costly and they can affect important client or financial information.

Incompatible software versions or updates

NetSuite frequently issues updates and new software releases. However, these updates often break existing third-party integrations that businesses have invested time and money developing. Repairing broken connections after NetSuite updates requires more custom work and adjustments.

Unless you’re using the latest versions of all the software you want to integrate, you might run into these problems. The platforms are ever-updating in terms of how APIs may change over time – Which may break the NetSuite workflows. This can be further complicated by firewalls and expired authentication tokens.

Expert Consultation and Support Services

Maintaining the custom integrations built for third-party applications and the constant software updates to keep the connection active and running may require the business to get a NetSuite Consultant or an in-house developer. This decision is critical, as the successful deployment of NetSuite ERP can significantly impact the business’s efficiency and growth.

NetSuite Implementation Consultant — Disadvantages

• Cost Considerations: One of the main drawbacks of hiring a consultant is the cost. Professional NetSuite Implementation Consultants can be expensive, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses. The cost can increase depending on the project’s complexity and the consultant’s expertise level. While the investment might be worthwhile for the expertise and efficiency they bring, it can be a significant financial burden for some businesses.
• Lack of Internal Skill Development: Relying on an external consultant can mean missing out on developing in-house expertise. When a business manages its implementation, its team gains valuable experience with the NetSuite platform. This internal knowledge can be beneficial for future maintenance and upgrades, reducing the dependency on external help.
• Risk of Inadequate Implementation: One significant risk of in-house implementation is the potential for inadequate setup due to a lack of expertise. If your team does not have extensive experience with NetSuite ERP implementations, they may encounter unforeseen challenges, leading to delays and potential system inefficiencies.
• Time and Resource Constraints: Implementing an ERP system in-house can be a time-consuming process, especially if your team is not experienced with such projects. It can divert resources and attention from their regular duties, affecting other areas of your business. For smaller teams, this can be a significant strain on their workload.

Businesses end up with NetSuite professional services teams or third-party developers and consultants plus the NetSuite Fees. The average cost for an integrator to build a NetSuite-to-Salesforce bridge is $40,000. Ongoing maintenance and adjustments pile on more costs over time. NetSuite’s lack of flexible and self-service integration options forces businesses to rely on costly, cumbersome, and unreliable custom coding methods. There are very few out-of-the-box connection capabilities.

Versa also understands that there may be integrations that it does not have or maybe you have internal systems that need integration and you need the coordination between them to be automated – and data transfer should not require manual intervention, or re-keying. The Versa Cloud ERP solution offers several ways to achieve these goals through custom integrations.

This includes a powerful, REST API that enables tight, real-time, integration with the other on-premise and cloud-based systems that you may have already deployed, as well as a more traditional file system-based approach when a looser coupling between systems is enough.

In addition, Versa also ensures software updates and new feature releases never disrupt existing third-party integrations. This provides peace of mind that mission-critical integrations will remain intact.
