Move from disjointed packages to one complete system. NetSuite supports your entire company with one system, eliminating redundant data entry and the time, cost, and errors associated with using separate systems for accounting, sales, customer support, marketing, inventory, web site, and e-commerce. No matter what your most pressing challenge is—accounting, customer relationship management (CRM) or e-commerce — with NetSuite you can start anywhere. Learn more.
Sage has more than 30 different product lines that have been acquired over the past 15 years. Yet no single Sage product allows you to manage your entire business end-to-end.
Combining a patchwork of Sage products and its partner solutions leaves you with multiple islands of data and expensive integration projects that often don't work the way you want. Information often must be manually re-entered or batched into other applications—wasting time and money. You can end up running your business on incomplete information and guesswork.
NetSuite changes all that with one complete system for end-to-end business process management and real-time visibility, resulting in smarter, faster decision-making. While NetSuite integrates CRM, accounting / enterprise resource planning (ERP) and e-commerce into a single system, you can start anywhere with your most pressing challenge. When you're ready, you can easily extend your capabilities and enjoy all the benefits of an integrated suite with lower costs, more control and better visibility into your business.

Eliminate IT complexity and hassles. In early 2009, Sage's SaaS offering—Sage Live—had to be shut down after less than a month due to security flaws. In contrast, NetSuite is a proven Web-based, on-demand service that eliminates the cost of managing, maintaining, and upgrading business applications. Learn more.

Lower your total cost of ownership (TCO) dramatically. NetSuite provides up to 59% total cost savings relative to a combination of Sage products, according to a study by a leading independent analyst firm, the Yankee Group. Learn more.
 Countless studies have shown that Web-based applications like NetSuite have significantly lower TCO than on-premise software—the architecture of almost all Sage products. When you add up the cost of the software license, maintenance, software and hardware upgrades, customisation, support and more, you quickly see that NetSuite's Web-based approach is the smarter choice for your IT budget now and in the future.
A study in the United State by a leading independent analyst firm, the Yankee Group, directly compared the TCO of NetSuite and a combination of Sage products (MAS90 and SalesLogix). The study concluded that NetSuite provides a dramatically lower TCO than the Sage offering, providing from 24% to 59% cost savings relative to Sage. NetSuite provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings in each of the four scenarios studied, ranging from US$199,000 to US$298,000 per company. Read the Yankee Group study.

Grow your company with broader business functionality. NetSuite provides built-in functionality that Sage doesn't have. For example, NetSuite is the only application provider that gives you an integrated Amazon.com-like web site, e-commerce, and site analytics. And NetSuite is the only hosted CRM provider to provide integrated partner relationship management and incentive compensation. Learn more.
 For example, NetSuite is the only application provider that gives you an integrated Amazon.com-like web site, ecommerce, and site analytics. You'd have to bolt on a third-party provider's web site with Sage 50, Sage 1000, MAS90 or 200, ACCPAC or SalesLogix.
NetSuite is also the only hosted CRM provider to provide integrated partner relationship management and incentive compensation. You can't get those capabilities with Act!, SalesLogix, or Sage CRM.

Sage Customers Choose NetSuite
|
AbilityNet (www.abilitynet.org.uk)
"We had previously used to Sage to manage our finances but it just wasn't up to the job. With NetSuite, we're firmly back in control and have improved life for our users and our customers."
—Eliot Martin, Client Services Director
 AbilityNet is a London-based national charity that helps disabled adults and children use computers and the Internet by adapting and adjusting technology to suit their needs.
"With NetSuite, we're firmly back in control and have improved life for our users and our customers," says Eliot Martin, Client Services Director, AbilityNet UK. "We had previously used Sage to manage our finances but it just wasn't up to the job. We couldn't access streamlined reports and didn't have a clear view of our business. This made decision making difficult and time consuming."
"With NetSuite we no longer have data trapped in legacy systems, distributed across multiple systems or hidden in individual files," Martin says. "The centralisation and hosting of data has proved to be one of the biggest benefits to the company, enabling better control over its assets and a clearer view of its financial operations."

Bitemark (www.bmcgiftware.eu)
"Before NetSuite, Bitemark was using Sage Line 50 for financials, but it wasn't working well...Thanks to NetSuite, we're more dynamic, transparent, streamlined and integrated than ever before, and we're seeing an immediate saving of over £100,000."
—Dominic Hawes, Managing Director
 London-based Bitemark is a wholesale distributor of games, adult goods and giftware that it sells to trade customers in 16 different European countries through multiple web sites.
"Before NetSuite, Bitemark was using Sage Line 50 for financials, but it wasn't working well," says Dominic Hawes, Managing Director of Bitemark. "Sage was costing £800 a year but I then had to pay two people who were doing nothing but rekeying data. That's expensive when there is no value-add."
Apart from the staff overheads, Sage also wasn't managing Bitemark's warehouse effectively. "It's not designed to," says Dawes, "and when integrated with Actinic, customers were ordering goods that were found to be out of stock, which damaged our customer service."
"Thanks to NetSuite, we're more dynamic, transparent, streamlined and integrated than ever before, and we're seeing an immediate saving of over £100,000."

Redstor Limited (www.redstor.com) "NetSuite has transformed our business. Now we have immediate access to up-to-date, accurate reports, enabling us to continue our growth, by identifying and focusing on the most profitable elements of the business."
—Steve Harcourt, Service and Delivery Manager
 Redstor Limited is a managed services and IT solution provider focused around storage, data management and protection. The company's main office is in Reading, UK, with a regional support office in Aberdeen.
"NetSuite has transformed our business," says Steve Harcourt, Service and Delivery Manager, Redstor. "In the old days, Redstor used ACT! for contact management, Gemini for problem management, Excel for customer quotations, and Sage Line 50 for the accounts. We really struggled to produce any accurate and relevant business and analysis information, and in many cases we stopped bothering to ask for it, because we knew that it would take so long to pull it all together, and by then it would inevitably be out of date.
"Now we have immediate access to up-to-date, accurate reports, enabling us to continue our growth, by identifying and focusing on the most profitable elements of the business."
