Headquarters: New Taipei, Taiwan

Challenges​

The fast-growing multinational client initially implemented NetSuite as the core finance system for their EMEA operations through a local provider. As the client expanded NetSuite rollout into North America, they committed to unifying all global operations on a single NetSuite platform to ensure consistent Group policies, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency across all markets.

Key challenges included:

  • High-stakes instance migration
    Migrating existing EMEA NetSuite data and configurations into a new, unified global instance under tight schedules and complex legacy limitations.
  • Bottlenecks blocking hyper-growth
    Eliminating manual, error-prone workflows and processing bottlenecks to support rapid operational scaling across multiple time zones.
  • Disparate multi-region configurations
    Harmonizing vastly different system setups and operational processes across EMEA and North America without disrupting live daily transactions.
  • Loss of key personnel
    The client's key project personnel has an unforeseen circumstance, which resulted in a short-staffed situation before the project started.

RSM’s deep technical expertise, global delivery capability, and hands-on partnership were instrumental in converting a challenging multi-region ERP effort into a seamless transformation. By harmonizing finance processes and enabling smooth integration into a single NetSuite instance, RSM empowered the client to confidently scale worldwide with efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.

  • Global-local delivery matrix
    Deployed a highly skilled international team spanning Greater China, North America, and EMEA to ensure continuous on-the-ground support, swift decision-making, and seamless cross-border coordination.
  • Smarter financial automation
    Conducted an end-to-end process review to redesign approval workflows and data entry—dramatically reducing manual touchpoints, boosting accuracy, and accelerating global month-end closes.
  • Zero-risk system migration
    Executed a flawless migration of all legacy EMEA data into the new global NetSuite instance with zero business disruption, providing management with a single, real-time financial view across all 50 countries.
  • Interim administrator bridge support

This operational bridge provided immediate system stability and administrative continuity, giving the client the necessary breathing room to recruit and onboard their permanent local administrator.
