Key success factor for SaaS suites: functional parity

Key success factor for SaaS suites: functional parity

By Frank Scavo on October 18, 2010

As we all know, software-as-a-service (SaaS) has been one of the bright spots in the enterprise systems marketplace these days. The advantages are becoming more widely recognized: lower total cost, faster time-to-benefit, little to no capital expenditure, and less pain in system upgrades.
In fact, in some segments of the enterprise market, SaaS is already where most of the action is…

NetSuite, Manufacturing, Ecosystems and a Better Way to Compete

NetSuite, Manufacturing, Ecosystems and a Better Way to Compete

By Zoli Erdos on June 3, 2010

We’ve covered NetSuite substentially @ CloudAve – to the point that I’ve run into trouble with my title:  I already used NetSuite vs SAP … Round #n. A Game Changer? so what should I call this one?  NetSuitevs SAP Round #n+1? 🙂 All right, let’s get serious:  NetSuite launched a Manufacturing Edition today.  Dennis Howlett […]

NetSuite vs SAP ... Round #n. A Game Changer?

NetSuite vs SAP … Round #n. A Game Changer?

By Zoli Erdos on May 18, 2010

In my recent Suites post I said there were exactly 1.5 (one and a half) integrated full business solutions (SaaS Suite, SaaS All-In-One, SaaS ERP, SaaS SMB ERP – take your pick or  create a new one) offered as a service.   The one in that equation was NetSuite, and the half is SAP’s Business ByDesign. […]

FUD in the House of SaaS – More on Suites

FUD in the House of SaaS – More on Suites

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2010

Recently I wrote about the evergreen Best-of-breed vs. Integrated All-in-One Suite debate again, arguing: Call me “old school”, but I also believe in the value of having one tightly integrated system for most business needs, and I believe it’s true not only for large corporations but much smaller businesses.  I don’t have CIO’s to back […]

Are Suites Really Sour?  The Best of Breed vs. Integrated Suite Debate.

Are Suites Really Sour? The Best of Breed vs. Integrated Suite Debate.

By Zoli Erdos on April 14, 2010

The evergreen Best-of-breed vs. Integrated All-in-One Suite debate is back again. This will be a somewhat long post, so let’s sit back and start with some entertainment first. Episode 2, “Suites Are Sour”  is from the mini-series SuiteMates, which I admit I find hilariously entertaining, albeit rather pointless.  Why?  It’s run by supply chain solution […]

And Who Said SaaS Wasn’t Customizable? – NetSuite Rewrites the Rules and Embraces Design Thinking in the process

By Ben Kepes on April 7, 2010

I spend a lot of time talking to organizations about moving to SaaS an often I hear their concerns around the apparent lack of flexibility that SaaS apps give them. In the broader context this argument speaks to the points raised by Dennis Howlett in his recent post about design thinking as it relates to […]

Business ByNetSuite vs Business ByDesign, Take Two

Business ByNetSuite vs Business ByDesign, Take Two

By Zoli Erdos on February 19, 2009

NetSuite, provider  of Web-based integrated business systems for the SMB market is going after bigger fish: the leader in Enterprise Software, SAP. The aptly named Business ByNetsuite program guarantees at least 50% savings to current SAP R/3 customers relative to  – watch this! – the annual maintenance fees they are now paying to SAP.  Yes, […]

Has Best-of-Breed Won?

By Guest Authors on January 5, 2009

Let’s face it: enterprise applications will never be cool – and that is part of the reason why small-business focused applications such as Basecamp and Xero get more buzz. But apart from NetSuite and 24SevenOffice, who else is offering all-in-one fully integrated business applications in the cloud? Surprisingly very few. About once a year or […]
