Strategy Before Technology
The most expensive implementation mistakes happen before the first line is configured — when platform selection, architecture, and scope are decided without the depth of expertise to get them right.
Cold Sun consulting engagements are structured, time-boxed, and output-focused — producing specific deliverables that give your organization the clarity and confidence to move forward.
Cold Sun consultants have delivered implementations, not just designed them. Our architecture recommendations are grounded in what actually works in production, not what looks clean on a whiteboard.
Clarity Before You Commit
Platform Strategy
Objective assessment of your platform options — Salesforce, NetSuite, or both — with a recommendation grounded in your business model, not vendor relationships.
Architecture Design
Solution architecture that defines data models, integration patterns, and configuration boundaries before implementation begins.
Implementation Roadmap
A phased roadmap that sequences work by business value, manages dependencies, and sets realistic expectations for timeline and budget.
Implementation Assessment
Honest evaluation of an implementation in progress or already delivered — identifying what is working, what is not, and what needs to change.
ROI Modeling
Business case development that quantifies the expected return from your platform investment — giving leadership the data to approve and commit.
Cold Sun consulting engagements are scoped, fixed, and output-focused. You receive clear deliverables — not slide decks full of generic recommendations.
Platform Evaluation
Objective assessment of Salesforce, NetSuite, and competing platforms against your specific business requirements and budget.
Business Case Development
ROI modeling, total cost of ownership analysis, and executive business case documentation for platform investment decisions.
Roadmap Design
Phased implementation roadmap that sequences by business value and manages the dependencies between workstreams.
Solution Architecture
Technical architecture design — data models, integration patterns, security model, and configuration boundaries — before implementation.
Implementation Assessment
Review of an existing or in-progress implementation — identifying configuration gaps, technical debt, and adoption risks.
Health Check
Structured audit of a live Salesforce or NetSuite environment — measuring platform utilization, data quality, and optimization opportunities.
