Post go-live support & stabilisation

Get NetSuite working properly after a difficult go-live. We assess urgent blockers within days and work towards a reconciled first month-end close, so your team can use the system with confidence before temporary workarounds become everyday habits.

Triage within daysClose month one, first
The problem

The first month shapes how your team feels about the system

Orders get stuck, pick lists are wrong and finance can’t reconcile the figures. Temporary workarounds quickly become routine. A difficult go-live can be fixed, but leaving the problems unresolved can mean months of frustration and, eventually, another implementation.

What we do

What stabilisation involves

  • Blocker triageThe issues stopping daily work are ranked by impact and fixed in that order.
  • Month-end one, closedReconciliation is forced through, because a real close is the confidence event that matters most.
  • Data hotfixesMigration misses and duplicates that disrupt operations are corrected fast.
  • Process first aidBroken flows are patched to workable now and queued for proper fixes afterwards.
  • Floor presenceConsultants sit next to users and answer questions in minutes rather than through tickets.
  • Handover to steady stateThe punch list is burned down, followed by a calm transition into support.

The payoff

What stabilisation buys you

A close, on record

Month one is reconciled, which is the moment confidence starts to return.

Workarounds die young

Problems are fixed in week two instead of institutionalised by month six.

Confidence recovered

Users see problems fixed daily; the system’s reputation turns before it sets.

A rescue you didn’t need

Stabilising now costs a fraction of reimplementing later.

How it works

How it runs

  1. Triage – we spend two to three days on site or in the account and rank the problem list.

  2. Sprint one – daily blockers and data hotfixes are cleared, with visible wins in the first week.

  3. Close support – month-end is worked through alongside your team until it reconciles.

  4. Punch list – remaining issues are burned down on a published board.

  5. Steady state – we hand over to managed support, with the lessons written up.

Good to know

What to know before you start

  • !Stabilisation isn’t a redesign. We fix what stops the business working, while deeper design flaws are named, costed and queued, because mixing redesign into stabilisation extends both.
  • !Some problems are adjustment, some are defects. Week one tells the difference, and we will say plainly which is which so effort lands where it counts.
  • !The original partner’s warranty may apply. If defects are theirs to fix free, we’ll say so. Paying twice for the same fix helps nobody but them.
  • !Stabilisation hands over to ongoing support. Once the system is steady, this work ends with a defined handover – documentation of what was fixed and why, and a choice about post-implementation support: your own team with our operating guides, or a retainer for the months that follow.
Straight answers

Post Go-Live Support FAQs

How fast can you start after a rough go-live?
Within days. Stabilisation is triage work, and the sooner it starts, the fewer workarounds take hold.
Should we go back to the old system?
Almost never. Reverting costs more than stabilising and resets you to a system you’d already outgrown. We’ll tell you if yours is the rare exception.
How long does stabilisation take?
Typically two to six weeks. We aim to close the first month-end within that window, working through a clear list of outstanding issues that gets shorter each week.
What’s the difference between post-go-live support and hypercare?
Hypercare is the intensive window straight after go-live – daily triage, fast fixes and close attention to the first real transactions. Post-go-live support is the longer, steadier tail that follows. Stabilisation covers both: we run the hypercare period first, then taper to normal support once month-end closes cleanly.
