Why most NetSuite implementations struggle with data migration
Implementation partners prioritize configuration, not historical data
Transaction-level data is often summarized or skipped
Errors surface after go-live when finance teams are under pressure
Cleanup costs more than doing it right the first time
Implementation partners see this pattern repeatedly across NetSuite projects.
How Pricing Works
OptimalData pricing is based on transaction volume, number of legal entities, and the data migration model required to support your reporting, audit, and operational needs. Not every NetSuite customer needs the same level of historical data.
Most QuickBooks → NetSuite migrations fall into predictable ranges. Multi-entity environments, acquisitions, or audit-heavy scenarios typically require more data and validation.
The three data migration models we support
Not all data migrations are the same. The right approach depends on how much historical detail you need, how your team reports, and whether audit or compliance requirements are in play.
Summary Balance Migration
Best for teams that only need opening balances to move forward in NetSuite. This approach is typically used when detailed historical transactions are not required after go-live.
Transaction‑Level Migration
Used when teams need access to detailed historical transactions inside NetSuite for reporting, analysis, or operational continuity.
Audit‑Ready / Compliance‑Focused Migration
Designed for organizations with audit, regulatory, or investor requirements where historical accuracy, traceability, and validation matter.

Why go-live delays cost more than most teams expect
When NetSuite customers miss their go-live date, data migration is often the root cause.
And when that happens, the impact isn't just frustration or rework. They're paying for a NetSuite subscription they're not using while internal teams are stuck waiting. That's real money lost.
Having OptimalData handle data migration removes one of the biggest variables that causes go-live delays in the first place.
Anchor Group, NetSuite Solution Provider
Go-live delays don't just impact timelines. They increase costs, extend internal disruption, and reduce the return on your NetSuite investment. That's why OptimalData's pricing is built around accuracy and predictability, not shortcuts that create cleanup later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import historical transactions into NetSuite?
Yes. OptimalData specializes in importing detailed historical transactions from virtually any legacy system into NetSuite. We support full transaction-level migration, not just balances.
When should I involve OptimalData during my implementation?
Ideally at the beginning, during the data mapping phase. Early involvement ensures we align with your implementation partner's timeline and that your historical data is structured correctly from the start.
Can you fix a data migration that already went wrong?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience rescuing failed or incomplete migrations. We'll assess the current data, clean it up, and perform a new migration that meets your operational and audit needs.
Do you replace my NetSuite implementation partner?
No. We work alongside your implementation partner. We focus exclusively on data migration so they can focus on configuration, reporting, and training. It's a collaborative relationship.
How do I determine my transaction count?
We can help you calculate it. Generally, it's the number of unique transactions (invoices, bills, journal entries, etc.) in your legacy system across the timeframe you wish to migrate. Contact us and we'll walk you through it.
Can attachments be migrated?
Currently, we do not support migrating attachments (PDFs, images) attached to transactions. However, we can provide a reference list of documents that need to be manually attached post-migration if required.
Not sure what data you actually need in NetSuite?
Most teams overestimate how much historical data they need or underestimate the effort to migrate it. A short conversation can help you avoid both.
