By Tom Kenaley, Co-Founder and President, KORE1 Build in-house when your NetSuite instance changes most weeks and somebody has to answer on Tuesday morning. Bring in a consultant when the work is project-shaped, deep, and finite. Nearly every company treats this as a budget question. It is a cadence question. The budget falls out of … Read more
By Tom Kenaley, Senior Partner and President, KORE1 A NetSuite functional consultant decides what the system should do and configures it natively. A technical consultant writes the SuiteScript and integrations for whatever configuration cannot reach. One owns the process. One owns the code. Sounds academic. It is not. Post the wrong req and it costs … Read more
By Mike Carter, Director of Partnership Success, KORE1 A NetSuite implementation costs $35,000 to $100,000 for a small single-entity build and $180,000 to $410,000 for a typical mid-market rollout, counting software, services, and your own staff time. Most mid-market projects go live in four to six months. The number that surprises people is the third … Read more
Choosing between NetSuite and Sage Intacct talent is a department decision, not a size one. NetSuite is an operations and systems hire, while Sage Intacct is a finance and accounting hire, and both platforms fit the same mid-market company. Most comparison guides never get there.

Everything else is close to noise. Partner directories, star badges, glossy case studies, the sales engineer who … Read more

The same two words get stuck on very different jobs. A financial configuration lead and a SuiteScript developer both answer to “NetSuite consultant,” and the certification behind the … Read more
A NetSuite implementation team needs five core seats: an executive sponsor, a project lead, a functional consultant, a technical developer, and an administrator who owns the system after go-live. Most mid-market builds blend in-house hires with contract specialists. That sentence hides the whole problem. Reading it, you would think the hard part is finding five … Read more
A NetSuite functional consultant costs about $110K to $175K for a mid-to-senior hire, or roughly $95 to $170 an hour on contract. You are paying for business-process judgment and requirements skill, not SuiteScript code. Here is the part nobody puts in the job posting. The functional consultant is the person who decides what NetSuite should … Read more
