The Stars in Cloud ERP and Cloud CRM: NetSuite and Salesforce.com

As an experienced ERP consultant firm, it’s been amazing to witness how the Cloud ERP and Cloud CRM solutions have changed the options for businesses over the last five years. More and more businesses who want to cut costs and grow are turning to Cloud ERP and CRM solutions to meet the demands of their business challenges. Traditional on-premise solutions like SAP and Oracle are still slugging it out in the enterprise space. Sage and Microsoft may still have a large base of legacy mid-market accounts. However, the new reality of the market is that cloud based ERP and CRM systems are becoming more and more popular as the preferred implementation platform. NetSuite and Salesforce.com are the de facto leaders in these cloud based ERP and CRM markets among the most forward-thinking and competitive companies. This might be a good time to ask; are your competitors going to the cloud?

ERP Consultant Reviews 2 Leading Cloud ERP and Cloud CRM Solutions  

Salesforce.com has been around since 1999 and is the poster-child of the cloud. Applications analyst firm, Apps Run the World, estimated in June 2013 that Salesforce.com’s more than 100,000 customers represented 10.8 million users worldwide, a number that will probably exceed 12 million by the end of this year through organic growth and the $2.5 billion acquisition of ExactTarget.

While NetSuite’s customer, user and revenue statistics may not match Salesforce.com’s, in many ways their achievement has been greater because they had to compete for market share in a mature market dominated by entrenched players with high-profiles and deep pockets.

2013 was another landmark year for NetSuite. They closed the year with their strongest quarter ever, bringing revenue for the year to $414.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 34%. DSG is certainly witnessing NetSuite’s success at a local level. In December and January, we took eight companies live on NetSuite ranging from early stage high-tech customers, through companies in the financial services and outdoor sporting goods markets to ground-breaking companies such as Beyond Meat.

Critical to our ability to do this – and to customers’ success - were four factors:

• Teamwork between customer and DSG staff
• Business first approach including solution advisement  
• Consistent application of the DSG Realize methodology on all projects
• Cloud based project tools
