The cost was very reasonable. It far outweighs not having access to our historical data.
The situation
The contracted term was ending and the business was moving to another platform. Bulbeck needed a complete backup of everything in the account, for its own staff and for audit, and had a short window in which to get it. The IT manager arranged a meeting, went through the offering, received a quote, and was satisfied that the data required could be exported.
What Blueacrobat did
Bulbeck followed the supplied instructions to grant access to its NetSuite instance. The two teams agreed a date and chose a full backup before the system changeover, then a delta copy after the business had stopped trading on NetSuite but still had access, so the final weeks of activity were captured. The full backup was delivered as agreed. Bulbeck then widened the scope to include a full extract of the file library; Blueacrobat had also provided instructions for attempting that extract in-house, and did it on Bulbeck's behalf because of the time constraint. The reviewer dealt with one person throughout, over email and a couple of video meetings.
The outcome
Within weeks of going live on the new platform, the IT manager had needed the exported data several times to answer questions from colleagues, which would otherwise have been impossible. Every deliverable arrived on time and as agreed.
In their words
- “They offer a very unique service. It fills a niche the vendor has neglected and does it perfectly.”
- “They provided the full data extract as agreed, on time. No issues.”
- “Within weeks of going live I've had several occasions where I've needed to query the data that was provided from the export to help other staff within the organisation. Without the data export, this would have been impossible.”
- “If anyone else was looking to exit the NetSuite platform, Blueacrobat will get you your data and provide peace of mind.”
Full extraction before cut-over, a delta after trading stops, and the File Cabinet as a separate pass: Bulbeck's engagement is the standard shape of an exit. AcroXtract covered the records and AcroFile the files.
