SAP ERP customer launches NetSuite SaaS CRM despite holding SAP CRM licenses
When I saw the the title of this article come across my screen I was intrigued and thought I’d share it here. It is an excellent example of the value proposition of NetSuite, even if it’s not being deployed as an end to end implementation.
As you will see, when you read the article, NetSuite offered Fusion UV Systems the configurability they wanted at a fraction of the price required to deploy a similar solution from SAP. In this case the cost was limited to just the costs of deployment, and not the licenses.
The implication of this is that it shows just how affordable NetSuite is to companies who want a very capable system, be it ERP or CRM, but don’t want to bankrupt themselves to do it.
For me the highlight quote from the article is:
For one, NetSuite is very user-friendly, Mitchell said, and it was very easy for sales representatives to get up to speed on the software.
It’s also easily customizable. It’s easy to create a new field and even change a business process without hiring a consultant to do the programming, she said. It takes a little less than an hour to do so.
“For me, the big point is I’m able to do my marketing campaigns. I’m able to make a lot of changes and reconfigure,” she said. “It’s very flexible that way.”
I like the article because it is balanced. It does talk about some prior shortcomings with NetSuite. Issues that I feel are primarily resolved.
There are many other stories out there like this, but this one is a great example of why NetSuite can make a lot of sense.
