[Start with the free Structure Survey](https://www.informeddecision.com/netsuite-fabric-accelerator#contact) [See the three stages](https://www.informeddecision.com/netsuite-fabric-accelerator#stages) Proven, not asserted ## NetSuite doesn't meet Fabric halfway. ### 776 transactions A hand-authored synthetic distributor — our reference estate. A real PySpark pipeline runs against it. Not a client's data. ### 5 traps, planted on purpose The ERP-semantics traps that produce wrong numbers were built into the estate deliberately — then proven caught by the pipeline. ### 16/16 checks passed Pinned reconciliation checks, each computed independently and verified against a real pipeline run — not estimated. ### A landed table can still be a wrong number. There is no native Fabric connector — the real choice is SuiteAnalytics Connect (licensed, gateway required) or REST/SuiteQL (free, engineering-heavy) — but the connector is not the hard part. Multi-Book Accounting silently blends GAAP and IFRS. Segment reorganizations orphan history under a naive join. None of it shows up as a pipeline failure. Every load succeeds — and the number in front of the CFO is still wrong. That is what stalls ERP analytics, and no connector resolves it. ### Five traps drive the wrong numbers. Book-specific entries, line-level Class overrides, a segment reorg that orphans history, intercompany eliminations, and FX rate-basis mismatches. Every one was planted in our reference estate on purpose, then proven caught — before this accelerator ever touches a client account. **House rule:** a Gold-layer number never ships silently blended across accounting books, subsidiaries, or segment history. Differences are named, never hidden. The resolution ## Three stages, each independently valuable. Start with the free Survey — no data export required. Decide the rest from evidence. 01 · Discover — no cost ### Structure Survey Share your subsidiary, book and segment structure under NDA — no data export required. One page back in a day: your ERP structure in plain business language, a record-type glossary mapped to what your license exposes, and **the specific Multi-Book, consolidation and segment traps in your account**. [Start here — free](https://www.informeddecision.com/netsuite-fabric-accelerator#contact) 02 · Design ### Migration Blueprint A business glossary built for finance and ops, a Gold-layer star schema that treats accounting books, segment history and eliminations deliberately, a connector strategy scoped to your license position and latency needs, and a wave plan with a fixed fee — quoted at the Survey readout. [Let's Talk](https://www.informeddecision.com/netsuite-fabric-accelerator#contact) 03 · Build ### Migration Factory Core record types landed via the scoped connector, Gold-layer reconciliation that proves Wave 1 against your own numbers, then the remaining record types wave by wave — each landing only after its reconciliation gate holds. Direct Lake by default.

Same model as the rest of our work: no six-figure commitment to find out whether the plan is sound. Start with the free Survey, and decide from evidence.

FAQ ## Common Questions Is Informed Decision only for existing Microsoft customers? + We're built first and foremost for Microsoft customers, but if you're exploring Microsoft products and platforms and thinking about making the move, we'd love to have that conversation too. Do unused points roll over? + Up to 10% of your unused points roll over to the following month. Any points beyond that expire. This keeps your subscription flexible while encouraging consistent engagement with your team. Can I mix and match services within one month? + Absolutely. Your monthly points can be applied across any combination of Power BI & Fabric, AI Agents & Copilot, and InfoSec & Purview activities. You choose from the menu each month based on what you need most. How is this different from hiring a traditional consulting firm? + Most consultancies want to give you a dedicated full-time team, which is valuable, but often overkill. We provide the same caliber of Microsoft expertise through a flexible, part-time subscription model. You get specialist support without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a multi-member full-time team. Will my team actually learn, or is this just outsourcing? + Enablement is our priority. We work jointly with your team on every engagement. Our goal is for your people to get stronger and be able to do more on their own over time. We teach you to fish, we don't just fish for you. What if I need something that's not on the points menu? + Let's talk about it. Our menu covers the most common activities, but we're flexible. If you have a specific need within the Microsoft ecosystem, we'll work with you to scope it and assign an appropriate point value. Get In Touch ## Let's Have a Conversation The first step is simple.
