Solutions · Assessments · NetSuite + JD Edwards

Decide what to do next with real data, not a pitch deck.

Two structured assessments for organizations facing an ERP decision. The Business Value Assessment for JD Edwards. The Health Check for NetSuite. Both run 2 to 4 weeks, both produce a written deliverable, both are priced and scoped before kickoff. The assessment is outcome-agnostic. The deliverable is yours to keep regardless of what you decide.
When You Need This

Six signals that put an ERP assessment
on your roadmap.

Some triggers are platform-specific. Some apply on either side. Each one is a real conversation we have with operators every quarter.
JD Edwards
01

A 3-to-5 year roadmap is due to the CFO, board, or PE sponsor.

IT leadership has been asked for a defensible JDE roadmap with cost ranges, sequencing, and the case for upgrade vs. replatform vs. migration. The BVA produces the document the board actually needs.
netsuite
02

Go-live was 2+ years ago and customizations have piled up.

NetSuite has been live for years, the original scope is forgotten, and nobody is sure what is still in use. Configurations have stacked up across releases. The Health Check inventories everything and surfaces what to keep, fix, or retire.
Either Platform
03

Close cycle is slipping every quarter and nobody can isolate why.

Month-end close keeps getting longer. Manual workarounds and reconciliation hours are growing. The assessment isolates whether the cause is configuration drift, customization debt, integration breakage, or process gap, and quantifies the fix.
Jd edwards
04

A specific functional area (financials, distribution, manufacturing) is not delivering.

JDE works overall, but one module is consistently the bottleneck. The BVA isolates whether the issue is configuration, customization, business process, or version capability, and quantifies the path forward.
netsuite
05

External auditors have raised configuration or controls findings.

SOX-relevant findings on chart of accounts, role design, or segregation of duties surface during audit. The Health Check produces a remediation roadmap aligned to what auditors need to see, with controls recommendations and implementation sequencing.
either platform
06

An acquisition or system consolidation forces a platform decision.

Multiple ERPs, multiple environments, a holding company that needs one consolidated stack. The assessment produces a costed, sequenced consolidation plan you can defend at the board level before any execution starts.
Two Assessment Offerings

Two platforms. Two named assessments. Same delivery standard.

The Business Value Assessment is for JDE. The Health Check is for NetSuite. Pick the one that matches your platform; the structure, deliverable format, and outcome-agnostic standard are the same on both sides.

JD Edwards

Business Value Assessment (BVA).

Best fit: JDE operators on EnterpriseOne or World facing a roadmap decision, a functional issue, a consolidation question, or value concerns about their current investment. C-level and IT executives who need a defensible 3-to-5-year plan.

Assessment + Roadmap + Briefing

Five-dimension review. Configuration (chart of accounts, subsidiary structure, role design, SOD), Usage, Customizations (SuiteScript inventory), Integrations, and Processes (close cycle, AR/AP, revenue recognition).

Accounting-first reviewers. Most NetSuite consultants are credentialed accountants or former finance leaders. The chart of accounts gets read the way your auditor reads it, not the way an IT consultant reads it.

Customer time commitment: 6 to 10 hours. Spread across Finance, Operations, IT, and Sales over 4 weeks. Read-only access to your NetSuite environment; no production impact.

How They Run

Four phases. Same shape on both sides.

Both assessments run a 4-phase, 4-week process. The phase content differs by platform, but the cadence, milestones, and deliverable shape are parallel by design.

JDE Business Value Assessment · 4 Weeks

The BVA runs in four weekly phases. Stakeholder discovery happens in week 1, analysis in week 2, roadmap construction in week 3, final delivery and presentation in week 4. Most BVAs find at least three issues the customer was not aware of by the end of week 2.

Why GSI for Assessments

How both engagements are built.

Most ERP assessment offerings are sales pretexts dressed up as deliverables.The GSI BVA and Health Check are paid engagements with documented scope and an outcome-agnostic standard. We are paid to give the right answer, not the answer that maximizes follow-on engagement. The deliverable is yours regardless of what you decide.

The deliverable is outcome-agnostic..

The BVA can recommend you stay on JDE, upgrade JDE, replatform JDE, replace JDE with NetSuite, or do nothing for two years. The Health Check can recommend you keep your NetSuite setup, optimize within current configuration, do focused remediation, or restart on a new design phase.

The honest answer is the deliverable. The deliverable is yours regardless of what you decide, and you can take it to a different partner if that is the path forward.

Senior reviewers, with platform-native depth on both sides..

JDE BVAs are delivered by people who have lived through every release since OneWorld, with 400+ cumulative years of JDE experience on the team. NetSuite Health Checks are delivered by accounting-first consultants, most with CPA, CMA, or controller backgrounds.

Your auditor and your CFO will both recognize the analysis, and the chart of accounts gets read the way an auditor reads it, not the way an IT consultant reads it.

Fixed price, fixed scope, before kickoff..

Both assessments are scoped and priced before any work begins. The price is visible, the deliverable is documented, and the scope cannot drift mid-engagement. No hourly billing, no overage risk, no scope creep without a documented change conversation.

Most ERP consultancies hide pricing. We publish the band on this page so you can plan a budget before the scoping call.

Pricing

What an assessment costs.

Both engagements are scoped to your environment in a free 30-minute scoping call. The price is fixed before any contract is signed. Here are the typical bands so you can plan a budget before that conversation.

JD Edwards · BVA

Business Value Assessment

$15K – $40Kfixed price, scoped before kickoff

BVA pricing is fixed and visible before signing. Most JDE operators land in the middle of the range. The variables that move pricing are below.

  • Single-instance JDE environment vs multi-instance
  • Number of stakeholders to interview (5 to 15)
  • JDE only vs JDE plus another platform in scope
  • 3-to-5 year roadmap vs single-issue tactical scope
  • Geographic footprint and consolidation complexity

Most BVAs run 3 to 4 weeks. Smaller scope can run 2 weeks. The sample BVA deliverable is available below.

NetSuite · Health Check

NetSuite Health Check

$10K – $30Kfixed price, scoped before kickoff

Health Check pricing is fixed and visible before signing. Most NetSuite operators land in the middle of the range. The variables that move pricing are below.

  • Single-subsidiary vs multi-subsidiary OneWorld
  • Customization volume and SuiteScript footprint
  • Number of integrations in scope (typically 3 to 8)
  • Module count and advanced module activation
  • Audit-driven scope vs operational scope

Most Health Checks run 3 to 4 weeks. Lighter scope can run 2 weeks. The sample Health Check deliverable is available below.

When These Are the Wrong Tool

Most situations are clear. Some need a conversation.

Most JDE and NetSuite operators who reach this page are weighing options that the BVA or Health Check is built for. A handful are better served by a different starting point. Here is the rough split.
Likely a fit

An assessment typically helps

  • You are weighing a roadmap decision and need a defensible recommendation
  • The platform has been live long enough to accumulate questions nobody is sure how to answer
  • A specific functional area, close cycle, or audit finding needs a structured root cause
  • An acquisition or consolidation is forcing a platform conversation
  • Stakeholders need a written deliverable they can take to a board or PE sponsor
Let's talk

Worth a deeper conversation

  • The decision is already made and you need execution, not analysis
  • The question is tactical and a 4-week assessment would over-deliver
  • An active implementation is in trouble and the timeline is days, not weeks
  • The pain is continuous and a one-time review will not solve it

Not sure which side your situation falls on?

A 30-minute scoping call walks through your environment and constraints. You leave with a clear recommendation, even when the recommendation is something other than a BVA or Health Check.

Frequently Asked

The questions buyers ask us most about assessments.

BVA pricing is fixed and scoped before kickoff. Most JDE BVAs land in the $15,000 to $40,000 range depending on environment complexity, number of stakeholders, and scope (single-instance vs multi-instance). The price is visible and fixed before any contract is signed. No hourly billing, no overage risk.
Health Check pricing is fixed and scoped before kickoff. Most NetSuite Health Checks land in the $10,000 to $30,000 range depending on environment complexity, number of subsidiaries, customization volume, and integration count. Fixed price, no hourly billing, no overage risk.
Both the JDE BVA and the NetSuite Health Check run 2 to 4 weeks total, structured across four phases. Smaller environments and tighter scope land closer to 2 weeks; multi-instance JDE or multi-subsidiary NetSuite environments run closer to 4 weeks.
JDE BVA stakeholder time commitment is typically 8 to 12 hours total across the 4-week engagement, spread across IT, Finance, and Operations leaders. NetSuite Health Check is typically 6 to 10 hours total across Finance and Operations leaders. The discovery phase takes most of the customer time; later phases are GSI-led with minimal team involvement.
Yes. Both the BVA and the Health Check are outcome-agnostic. The BVA can recommend you stay on JDE, upgrade JDE, replatform JDE, replace JDE with NetSuite, or do nothing for two years. The Health Check can recommend you keep your NetSuite setup, optimize within current configuration, do a focused remediation project, or restart on a new design phase. We are paid to give the right answer, not the answer that maximizes follow-on engagement.
No. The Health Check runs on read-only access to your NetSuite environment. No data is modified, no settings are changed, no scripts are deployed. Stakeholder interviews happen on a schedule that works around your close cycle. The audit produces no operational impact.
Yes. Sanitized sample BVA and Health Check deliverables are available as gated PDFs from the final CTA on this page. The sample shows what a typical assessment document looks like, including the structure, level of detail, and recommendations format. Customer names, financial figures, and specific environment details are removed in the sample.
No. Both assessments are fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements that produce a written document you can take to a different partner if you want to. We are paid for the assessment work, not for the follow-on engagement. Most assessments do lead to follow-on work because the deliverable identifies a path forward that GSI is qualified to execute, but the deliverable is yours regardless.
