Preparing for NetSuite 2019.2

To ensure that your business and system is ready for NetSuite’s new update, it’s important to ask yourself a few questions:

  • What can I do to prepare for NetSuite 2019.2?
  • Should I test in NetSuite 20192 in my Sandbox environment? 
  • Are all my current processes successful in my Sandbox environment account before the new release is pushed to my Production account?
  • Do I have any customizations, scripts, workflows, and/or integrations that need to be tested to ensure they won’t break in the new environment?

Whether these questions never enter your mind, or you just don’t know the answers for yourself, just know that you don’t need to do it alone.
