Paul Greenberg wrote a nice article at ZDNet about CRM for the Mac. Give it a read. It nicely sums up the CRM options for Mac Fans. And it gives a solid shout out to NetSuite as being a particularly strong choice.
There are many people who are far more qualified than I to talk about why Apple hasn’t really penetrated the business market but I was talking to a Mac user today and this article struck me as timely.
NetSuite has supported the Mac for some time and officially supports Safari, Netscape and Mozilla on the Mac OS.
Historically I’ve always been a Windows user because of compatibility issues with business applications, but now, with NetSuite, I really have a full choice over what I use. In fact, now, I don’t care what co-workers or customers use because it really doesn’t matter. Use a Netbook, a Macbook, or Ubuntu. NetSuite, being hosted, will be accessible for you.
Heck, NetSuite will go one step farther for you as it supports the iphone. I’ve tried it out, on a loaned iphone. It’s ok if you have a wifi connection or a solid 3G connection, but if you are on a flakey data connection you might want to steer clear or maybe just use it to look up a phone number.
All in all, NetSuite is a good fit for those of use who would rather have choice in the OS and/or browser that we use. Freedom is a wonderful thing.
