- Governance Reviews of scripts, custom objects, and workflows to identify bottlenecks.

Common NetSuite Challenges and How SuiteWorks Tech Solves Them
Scope Creep & Customization Overload
Challenge: Unchecked adding of custom fields and scripts leads to upgrade failures.
Our Approach: Conduct periodic “governance days” to prune unused customizations, refactor legacy scripts, and enforce configuration standards.
Poor Data Quality & Migration Failures
Challenge: Inaccurate or incomplete migration data cripples early adoption.
Our Approach: Employ automated ETL pipelines with validation rules, sample data loads, and reconciliation reports before cutover.
User Adoption & Resistance to Change
Challenge: Users revert to spreadsheets or legacy systems.
Our Approach: Combine in‑app guidance (SuiteAnswers, inline help), gamified training modules, and executive sponsorship programs.
Integration Bottlenecks
Challenge: Slow or error‑prone interfaces disrupt operations.
Our Approach: Leverage enterprise‑grade middleware, retry logic, and end‑to‑end message tracing.
Performance Degradation at Scale
Challenge: Saved searches time out; scripts hit governance limits.
Our Approach: Optimize search criteria, archive stale data, use Map/Reduce scripts, and perform load testing in sandbox.
