Request for Proposal: NetSuite Implementation

For over 25 years CSH has been a game-changer for the most vulnerable people in our country.

  • Helping communities create more than 325,000 homes for individuals and families who did not have one;
  • Bringing hope to thousands who thought they would live on the streets or reside in institutions; and
  • Ensuring not only a stable home for each, but access to the services that brought healthcare, recovery and training to their doorsteps.

Not only has CSH proven supportive housing works and changes the lives of individuals, families and communities, we have done so while creating a family of nationally recognized experts who stay committed to our organization and mission. We pride ourselves in high performance in the services we deliver externally and through the strength of our operations internally. Our current strategic plan reiterates our commitment to excellence with the goal of increasing organizational capacity. It is with this in mind that CSH issues a request for proposal (RFP)for a consultant to assist CSH in implementing the following NetSuite Programs:

  • NetSuite Suite Success Social Impact Premium Cloud Service
  • NetSuite Social Impact Project Management Cloud Service User
  • NetSuite Job Costing Mid-Market Cloud Service

  • NetSuite Planning and Budget Premium Cloud Service
