Few financial packages provide these tools, forcing companies to manage these complexities offline in spreadsheets or in third party standalone packages. With NetSuite you have one financial system that manages accounting and complex billing —so there's no more double entry.

Service Automation:

Professional Services Automation. Services firms typically perform project management and administration in standalone software packages including Microsoft Project, Excel and homegrown tracking and document management systems. This creates silos of information, error-filled, laborious administration for inefficiency and frustration to both staff—and your clients. NetSuite integrates your project tracking and administration seamlessly with your front and back office applications for clear lines of visibility within and across projects for internal teams and for your clients. This results in greater collaboration, cost efficiency and client satisfaction.

You can view time budgeted versus time spent as well as team utilization. NetSuite also organizes tasks, calls and events, linking them to specific projects. Information regarding clients is managed in one place so resource tracking is complete and real-time for ever-improving client service and can be segmented and leveraged for smarter client intelligence.

• Document Management
  NetSuite provides document management that electronically organizes and stores content on a per-client, project, or aggregate basis. Additionally, it can be published internally via your Intranet and externally to your Web site or client and partner centers. All content is based in a central File Cabinet where shared folders and sub-folders can be set up for a plethora of file types including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and many more. Storing these documents online rather than on the computers of numerous employees means that access to them can be restricted as appropriate on a per client, per project, or department basis. Personnel with the necessary access rights can then work on them from multiple locations such as home, another office, the client site or even a hotel when traveling. The security of NetSuite applications is safer than e-mail, and the File Cabinet even automatically logs when the file is modified and by whom so a complete audit trail is always maintained.
