Network Services Distribution transformed its IT operations by replacing spreadsheet-based project tracking with an integrated monday.com solution. The result: 300+ hours of administrative work eliminated annually, real-time visibility for leadership, and a scalable foundation that grew with the business.

NetSuite’s shift to the NetSuite2.com SuiteAnalytics data source introduces a new SuiteQL schema—and it’s already breaking reporting, integrations, and warehouse pipelines. Tables and fields move, joins behave differently, and permissions tighten, so “just fix the query” turns into a whack-a-mole exercise across workbooks, scripts, ETL jobs, and iPaaS flows. This guide explains what changed, what fails first, and Sphere’s playbook to regain control: Assess → Stabilize → Modernize.

A mid-sized U.S. EPC firm lacked real-time financial visibility due to fragmented spreadsheets and outdated ERP systems. By unifying project data and deploying predictive Power BI dashboards, the company gained live cost tracking, automated forecasting, and proactive resource control. Results: 22% higher forecast accuracy, 80% faster reporting, and 18% better utilization—turning financial management from reactive to predictive.

A mid-sized U.S. general contractor managing over 120 subcontractors across 20 active projects needed a unified view of subcontractor performance, cost, and risk. Fragmented data across spreadsheets, ERPs, and field tools left executives blind to real-time issues, causing overruns and delays. In just 10 weeks, our team integrated all subcontractor-related data into a governed Snowflake Lakehouse and delivered live Power BI dashboards that now serve as the single source of truth. Executives can monitor vendor reliability, change-order frequency, and corrective work in real time—transforming subcontractor oversight from reactive to proactive. The result: subcontractor-related cost overruns cut by 17%, reporting cycles reduced from 5 days to under 24 hours, and 100% executive adoption within the first month. The dashboards not only unified operations but established a data-driven foundation for long-term subcontractor benchmarking and performance optimization.
