User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Remedy

Even though Anchor Group works hard to identify and extract as many requirements as possible during the analyze stage, there are often going to be some tasks that are introduced as requirements while key stakeholders are performing user acceptance testing. Additionally, there may be some areas of NetSuite that a client wants configured differently and Anchor Group needs to rework a portion of a process area.

This is a budgeted allowance for any issues or new requirements that need to be remedied based on UAT feedback that is required for Go-Live. 

Actual level of effort for customizations or remedy tasks may vary based on your specific requirements and feedback. Here is a list of common NetSuite customization activities which may arise during the implementation process.

Typical workflow: 5 - 15 hours
Saved search: 1 - 5 hours
Custom report: 8 - 15 hours
Custom dashboard: 5 - 16 hours
SuiteScript: 10 - 25 hours
Custom integration (Restlet SuiteScript): 25 hours per one way flow of a record
Advanced PDF: 8 - 15 hours
Email templates (for sales orders): 10 - 15 hours
Email template (for workflow): 2 - 5 hours

Note: These general estimates exclude project management (+25%), testing (+10%), and executive sponsor (+2.5%) variables. These will be added to your estimate after the specific activities have been estimated.
 

Anchor Group works on a time and material basis which means that you will be invoiced for the time actually consumed. This general estimate is based on the standard needs for the services described. Please reach out to your Anchor Group sales rep to make sure that each service item is correctly quoted for your specific use case. 

Typically these are some areas that impact the estimated level of effort in an engagement:

• Size of the business (either number of employees or the annual revenue)
• Industry 
• Complexity of your business processes in your industry
• How savvy are your employees and key stakeholders with ERP systems
  • Experience implementing ERP
  • Experience working in ERP
  • Ability to be curious and a self-learner when hitting roadblocks
• Number of NetSuite modules that need to be implemented
• How good your team is at providing detailed requirements
  • Include conditions for certain scenarios
  • Ability to know general technical architecture and flow of data
  • Ability to provide detailed process flow maps for visuals (we recommend using LucidChart for this)
