With two decades of experience in the cloud ERP market, NetSuite has gained substantial knowledge of the standard industry-leading practices and processes that are critical to the business operations of its customers. While all customers are unique and require special attention to address certain needs, there is also a vast amount of similarities among most companies within a specific industry. NetSuite assembled those points of similarities and created SuiteSuccess for specific verticals based on solutions used by them respectively.
While addressing multiple requirements from customers who belonged to the same industry, NetSuite determined that rather than starting from scratch, it could bring greater value to its customers by delivering a vertical-specific NetSuite application “SuiteSuccess” that is pre-packaged with standard roles, processes, and reports unique to that industry. SuiteSuccess is an advanced, pre-configured NetSuite dashboard which can be customized and implemented according to clients requirements so that various departments like accounting, marketing, sales etc can be on-boarded in NetSuite ERP in near-zero time margin span and you can start getting optimum benefits from all your resources instantaneously.
Benefits of SuiteSuccess
According to Jim McGeever, Executive VP NetSuite, results from initial 300 customers who signed up with NetSuite over the previous year have already experienced the advantages of SuiteSuccess. Customers are able to save the 60% of time in implementation, and lower implementation cost by 18%.
Few more advantages that a client can get by using SuiteSuccess are
A. Cost-Friendly Implementation
With a 100-day go-live schedule, costs are typically less than a more customized solution. Plus, because pre-configured modules and functionality can be quickly and easily added to the account, implementation expenses can now be spent on high-value add activities that are most important to the business.
B. Re-organize Business Operations
Over time, companies become inefficient. Processes change, businesses are acquired, overhead grows and exceptions to the rule consume greater attention and expense. SuiteSuccess allows companies to compare business operations with other industry norms, manage benchmarking statistics and increase productivity by removing inefficiencies.
C. Phased Deployment
Rather than follow a bulky and laborious approach that could take up to a year or more to implement, SuiteSuccess follows a phased, stepladder approach. This means that customers don’t have to tackle everything at once. Instead, companies focus on building their NetSuite ERP environment in bite-sized deployments that are easier to manage and execute. Customers typically focus on laying the foundation and building business critical functionality in the first phase; incremental phases then focus on optimizing the application and building integrations with other back-office applications.
D. Increased efficiency and Quick results
NetSuite took a holistic approach to the problem that took years for others to implement ERP solutions. It productized domain knowledge, leading practices, KPIs and an agile approach to product adoption and ERP deployment. The benefits of this are a faster time to value, increased business efficiency, flexibility, and greater customer success.
