Frequently Asked Questions
(Calgary Market)
Do you sell licenses in Canada?
No, Etter+Ramli operates with 100% independence from Oracle NetSuite's sales channels. Our focus is exclusively on client-side advisory and managed services, ensuring our recommendations are unbiased and aligned solely with your business objectives, not software commissions.
How does your retainer compare to a local in-house hire?
Our fixed monthly retainer provides a dedicated, multi-skilled team (including functional consultants, technical developers, and administrators) at a predictable cost, often significantly lower than the total compensation, benefits, and training required for a single, equivalent in-house NetSuite expert in the Calgary market. Additionally, you gain access to a broader depth of expertise without the typical 2.8-year admin turnover trap.
Can you take over an account implemented by another Canada-based partner?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in taking over NetSuite environments implemented by other Canadian partners. Our 'Managed Success' methodology begins with a thorough system health check to understand your current configuration, identify existing challenges, and then seamlessly transition into ongoing support and optimization tailored to your specific post-go-live needs.
