What is a NetSuite Admin?

Video Transcript

Hi everybody, my name is Martin McNicoll, CEO of GURUS Solutions, and today, I’m going to answer the question:

“What is a NetSuite Administrator?”

Later on, I’ll also talk a little bit about the role they play on your team and how different companies manage the responsibilities of a NetSuite administrator internally.

In short, your NetSuite Administrator is the person who will ensure your new ERP System works seamlessly within your company after a successful go-live.

Their tasks include:

• Modify and create custom roles in NetSuite to enforce data security and control access.
• Create and publish dashboards for groups of users within the company.
• Assist and troubleshoot reports, searches, and all of your day-to-day NetSuite needs and questions.
• Use NetSuite’s advanced customization tools to create fields and add control views and new tables.
• Import data and ensure the integrity of your NetSuite account.
• Ensure your NetSuite customizations carry over flawlessly and help you take advantage of new features during NetSuite’s bi-annual releases.
• Become familiar with new and different SuiteApps to help your business expand your NetSuite use.
• Acquire the newest NetSuite knowledge to help your team keep up with evolving technological changes in the ever-growing NetSuite ecosystem.

However, not every company has the capacity or size to hire a full-time NetSuite administrator, train them on business processes, familiarize them with their NetSuite instance, and have them as a regular resource.

Hiring a full-time NetSuite admin can be an investment that you don’t necessarily need to make any time soon.
