NETSUITE SOLUTIONS FROM HORIZON ASSOCIATES
We Make NetSuite Work For You
We consider NetSuite to be the best platform for any fast growing small or midsized business (SMB) to adopt as their Enterprise Reporting Platform (ERP) because it is eminently flexible and scalable cloud-based solution that is easy to use. Combine that with our consultants’ in-depth technical and business knowledge and you have a system that will allow you to manage your growth, tell your financial story, and practically guarantee your success.
Who cares what people say about how great NetSuite is if you can’t make it work for you? And make no mistake, this is a workhorse of a system but we know from experience that without research, analysis, testing and expert support all the good intentions you start an implementation with can quickly fly out the door leaving frustration and headache (if not heartache). So, here are three critical questions to ask before selecting NetSuite or hiring a consultant to assist you along the way.
Where Do I Find A NetSuite Partner I Can Depend On?
- Need a real NetSuite Expert? You’ve come to the right place. As most everyone says: “I learned more about NetSuite in 20 minutes from Horizon than I did in months of researching on my own or talking directly to NetSuite for weeks.”
- Our team averages eight years of hands on NetSuite Consulting experience and over 25 NetSuite implementations each
- We have nothing against smart MBA graduates but you are not going to get a “green” consultant working on your project as is usually the case with a larger firm. You will work directly with our senior partners and consultants.
- We’re the team companies turn to when they are frustrated with NetSuite consultants who are accounting generalists and not true NetSuite experts
Where Do I Get The Information On NetSuite I Need?
- You can spend hours on the NetSuite corporate site and see several generic videos and read simple white papers
- You can take a look around our Resource Center and gather application specific information
- You can conduct an exhaustive RFP process to learn what NetSuite offers
- You can go to Staples and ask the “Geek Squad” Just kidding!
- Or, you can just call Randy Weitz at Horizon AssociatesRandy Weitz is a founding partner at Horizon and leads the sales, marketing and client management teams. He has forgotten more about NetSuite than most consultants will ever know.Remember time is money: spending 10 minutes asking Randy questions will save you months of frustration, pain and suffering!
Should NetSuite Even Be On My “Short List”?
- Great question. NetSuite is a powerful and easily scaled ERP system that is perfect for most businesses under 1,000 employees. But there are a few considerations to review before making the decision to put NetSuite on your “short list”
- Are we growing quickly and struggling to bring data and information together from multiple systems?
- Are we positioned to grow in the future?
- Is it time to replace QuickBooks with an advanced business system
- Should we be moving to the cloud?
- Do we need to streamline our operational business processes?
