Advantages of NetSuite's Subscription-Based Cloud Solution
Previously, on-premise ERP systems were the only option, primarily available to large companies with extensive resources. These systems were time-consuming to implement, and often all functionality was installed at once.
Cloud-based solutions have made ERP systems more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. A cloud-based ERP system simplifies the implementation process and the ability to scale functionality, allowing companies to start with basic features and add more as needed.
Cloud-based ERP systems are more accessible even for small businesses, thanks to simpler implementation and lower initial costs. Additionally, subscription-based pricing has changed how ERP systems are budgeted, from being a capital expense to an operational expense.
The cloud offers many advantages, including reduced IT costs, increased availability and mobility, and an integrated database. Here are some benefits for users with NetSuite’s subscription-based cloud solution:
- Flexibility and scalability: Companies can easily adjust their subscription to changing business needs. You pay for the functionality you use.
- Cost-effectiveness: NetSuite’s multi-tenant architecture (where multiple customers share the same underlying infrastructure) enables cost savings without compromising security.
- Automatic upgrades and maintenance: As a NetSuite customer, you benefit from automatic updates, avoiding costly upgrade projects.
- Reduced IT complexity: Your own IT resources are relieved as they do not need to maintain infrastructure.
- Accessibility and mobility: Users can access the system via an internet connection from anywhere, promoting remote work and collaboration, and facilitating for companies with operations in different locations.
