Choosing the Right NetSuite Administrator: Technical Skills vs. Business Acumen When it comes to hiring a NetSuite Administrator, companies often face a crucial decision: should they prioritize technical skills like SuiteScript proficiency, or should they seek candidates with strong business knowledge in areas such as accounting, finance, or operations? Often times companies will try to find both in a single candidate, but depending on location, and their budgeted salary, this can be extremely difficult. If you are wondering whether your headed in the right direction with your search or your current admin, consider which of these goals are priorities for your business. Need to have SuiteScript: 👩💻 Advanced Customization: SuiteScript allows for deep customization of NetSuite to fit the unique needs of your business. Automation Efficiency: Automating repetitive tasks can significantly enhance efficiency and accuracy. Integrations: SuiteScript expertise enables seamless integration of NetSuite with other systems and applications. Enhanced Functionality: By scripting custom solutions, your NetSuite Administrator can extend the platform’s capabilities. Technical Troubleshooting: A technically skilled administrator can quickly identify and resolve issues within the NetSuite environment, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity. With SuiteScript, administrators can develop innovative solutions to complex business problems, optimizing processes and improving performance. Need to have "Functional" or Business knowledge: 🏢 Accounting and Finance: An administrator with a background in accounting or finance understands the financial implications of system changes and can ensure that NetSuite supports robust financial management and reporting. Operations Expertise: Knowledge of business operations helps in configuring NetSuite to support efficient workflows and effective resource management. Business Strategy: Administrators with business acumen are well-positioned to align NetSuite configurations with overarching business goals. Cross-Departmental Collaboration: They can effectively communicate and collaborate with different departments, translating business needs into technical requirements. Effective Training: With a strong understanding of business processes, these administrators can develop and deliver effective training programs, ensuring user adoption. Process Optimization: Their insights into business processes allow for continuous optimization and improvement, driving operational efficiency and effectiveness. Limited Projects: If you are not looking to make significant customizations or have limited projects, having a full-time developer may not be suitable for your business. A strong functional NetSuite Admin can manage external technical resources when needed. #NetSuite #SuiteScript #BusinessAcumen #Accounting #Finance #Operations #Hiring #AndersonFrank #ERP #BusinessTechnology
