What is NetSuite? And would I want it?
NetSuite is the industry's first and only online, ondemand business application that supports your entire company-from customer relationship management (CRM) to enterprise resource planning (ERP and Accounting) to Web capabilities (Ecommerce).
NetSuite competes strongly against mid-market systems such as Microsoft Great Plains, SAP Business One, salesforce.com and Sage AccPac.
NetSuite excels through offering complete front-office to back-office integration and by delivering lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
As a hosted OnDemand system, NetSuite eliminates the traditional time and cost of building and maintaining IT systems.
NetSuite is the first and only web-based application to offer everything in a single, integrated and powerful solution. Additionally, NetSuite enables you to make better, faster decisions through real-time business intelligence.
What this means is sales representatives can view the complete customer record, including support cases, billing issues and utilise the powerful salesforce automation tools in NetSuite. Warehouse managers can instantly view approved sales orders on their NetSuite Dashboards, and accounting personnel are able to view support issues when calling customers to collect payments.

So why are more companies moving to online applications like NetSuite?
Mid-market companies are following a similar business application transition to what Fortune 1000 and other leading enterprises have recently completed.
That is, the move from cobbled-together, stand-alone software solutions to an integrated suite to manage core business operations such as sales, finance, service delivery, accounting, warehouse management and eCommerce. As a SaaS pioneer, unlike some other on-demand software companies that chose to repeat the problems of the past and create stand-alone point product applications, NetSuite was founded with the vision of delivering a complete, single on-demand suite to specifically address the dynamic needs of growing and mid-sized businesses.
These businesses also require powerful capabilities for global expansion, complex back-office/front-office business process management and overall business intelligence.
Ease-of-use is also paramount to their success since growing and mid-sized companies do not have the time or resources to wrestle with unwieldy legacy solutions from vendors such as SAP, Microsoft and Sage that require significant and expensive on-going maintenance and application integration.
Finally, growing businesses are dynamic and require solutions that are easily adaptable to their changing needs. NetSuite 2007.0 delivers powerful, flexible capabilities that have been designed to be usable by everyone within the organisation – from the field-sales representative, to the warehouse manager – and to address the global expansion, back-office management and business intelligence needs of mid-market businesses.
NetSuite is the worlds leading integrated online application with more than 10 000 customers worldwide. Combining accounting, ERP, CRM, eCommerce and inventory management into one online application that allows users to have a complete, real time control and visibility of the whole company at any particular moment.
NetSuite can be purchased as a complete business suite or divided into modules, such as the standalone NetSuite CRM application. Other modules or suites include NetSuite ERP and NetSuite eCommerce.
