Let’s be honest.
ERP vendors don’t always tell you the full story.
They tell you what gets the deal done, not what sets your business up for success.
And by the time your team realizes what the software can’t do or how complex the rollout really is, you’ve already signed, spent, and committed.
At Accipiter, we’ve lived that world.
We were insiders.
We’ve led NetSuite implementations from both the vendor side and the client side.
We know how the sausage gets made.
And we know how to protect you from it.
What Is ERP Advocacy and Why You Need It
Think of ERP advocacy like having a lawyer during a negotiation.
Or a buyer’s agent when you shop for a house.
You’re not relying on the seller’s pitch.
You’ve got someone whose only job is to look out for you.
That means:
- Cutting through jargon and “demo theater”
- Asking the hard questions, vendors hope you won’t
- Making sure the software matches your real-world needs
- Helping your team prepare internally—before you ever sign
It’s not anti-vendor. It’s pro-business.
NetSuite Experience That Goes Deeper
We’re not just tech-fluent.
We’re NetSuite veterans who know what happens when things go off the rails and how to prevent it.
That means we bring:
✅ Deep platform knowledge, so you’re not oversold on what’s possible
✅ Clear implementation expectations, so your team isn’t blindsided
✅ Insights from 100+ ERP transitions across industries
✅ Real-world wisdom from operations leadership, not just IT
We don’t just know ERP.
We know what it feels like to make these decisions with real money, real risk, and real momentum on the line.
Case Study: The Advocate Advantage
One client came to us mid-implementation. Things weren’t going well. The vendor was blaming the client. The internal team was exhausted. Leadership was frustrated.
We stepped in, not as referees, but as advocates.
We clarified the scope.
Reset expectations.
Facilitated hard conversations.
Helped leadership get aligned and the vendor get real.
Three months later, the system went live. Not perfectly, but profitably.
That’s what advocacy does.
It brings alignment, accountability, and calm back to chaos.
Built Into the ARC Model™
Every phase of the Accipiter ARC Model™ reflects this advocacy mindset:
🅰 ALIGN → 🔵 RECOMMEND → 🟢 CHAMPION
We don’t disappear after you sign a contract.
We stay with you, keeping the system honest and the team aligned.
