Operational coverage centered on finance and accounts teams, with cross-functional coordination to keep the implementation on schedule up to Go Live. Governance and process change were driven by a combination of Softcat internal change resources and Sansa Solutions, with Sansa delivering ongoing support and continuing to address individualized needs through bespoke reporting and training.
Outcomes explicitly stated in the engagement include expedited training, successful end-user adoption where Softcat staff gained confidence navigating Oracle NetSuite ERP, and an ongoing support relationship with Sansa Solutions to maintain personalized NetSuite capabilities and reporting.
