Start the evaluation 180 days before renewal
Your NetSuite renewal date is the one point in the contract cycle where switching does not mean paying for two ERPs at once.
If you want a genuine choice at renewal, the evaluation has to start about 180 days before the renewal date, not 30. Business Central publishes its UK prices; NetSuite does not, so you can model the Business Central side precisely and test your renewal quote against it. Our Business Central vs NetSuite comparison sets out the product differences.
The playbook includes an honest fit test, so you know when staying is the better call. Still building a shortlist? Our NetSuite alternatives guide compares ten options for UK businesses.
It maps NetSuite capabilities to Business Central and explains how OneWorld-style structures translate using multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation, then sets out every route for getting your data out of NetSuite.
