Fixed-scope offer · NetSuite Release Readiness Check
NetSuite Release Readiness Check: know what the next upgrade will break before it does.
NetSuite upgrades every account twice a year. Before each upgrade, I test your scripts, workflows, integrations and key processes in your release preview account, and fix or flag anything the new release affects.
1Is it right for you?
Every NetSuite account is upgraded, and the more you've customised, the more there is to check:
- A past NetSuite upgrade broke a script, workflow, form or integration
- You have custom SuiteScript, workflows or SuiteApps
- Your integrations run through Celigo, Boomi, RESTlets or web services
- Nobody on your team has time to read the release notes
- Month-end falls close to your upgrade date
- You want to use new features, not just survive the upgrade
2What I check
Testing happens in your release preview account, a copy of your account on the new release that Oracle provides before each upgrade.

6Common questions
When does NetSuite upgrade our account?
NetSuite releases two major versions a year, and each account is upgraded on a scheduled date. Your administrator can see the date in the account. I plan the check around it.
What is a release preview account?
A temporary copy of your account running the new release, which Oracle provides before the upgrade so you can test. The check runs there, so production is never at risk.
Is this included in the support retainer?
Yes, on the Extended plan. It's also available on its own at a fixed price per release.
