NetSuite Pricing

All of the technology and business people I regularly talk to keep telling me cloud computing. But what is it, what is the impact on business and what are the economic and physical benefits?

Cloud means Internet. The computing takes place on the Internet – in place of the software you use running on your desktop pc, it’s hosted on the Internet on a server located in a data centre usually staffed by people who are experts in managing technology. This type of “cloud” software is sometimes called “on demand” or Software as a Service (SaaS).

Some best of breed examples of popular Software as a Service are:

Web based CRM Software (Customer Relationship Management) – Salesforce.com pricing about $9 per user/month.
Small business management and accounting software (small business ERP) – Salesorder.com pricing $45 per user/month.
Medium sized business ERP software – NetSuite pricing about $99 per user/month.

There are a number of major benefits for every business here:

Time, cost savings and reliability

Businesses don’t need a resident information technology expert to help them select, commission and support the hardware and software platform thus lowering operating expenses and time to deploy. The task of vigilantly backing up information is taken away as this is usually an inherent feature of the “cloud” software. Cloud software “operators” normally have redundant systems that can be switched on in seconds should a major problem occur.

Easier selection and wider choice

Through the ubiquitous web browser, businesses now have immediate access to a huge range of software packages they can in most cases immediately try and swiftly establish if the software fulfils their needs at no cost. This makes it very easy for managers in large enterprises to get around the standard information technology purchasing processes and easily assess and prove their business proposal.

Superior user experience

The internet provides rapid feedback to software vendors and has driven substantial progress in user interface design resulting in more intuitive software in turn lowering learning times and improving user satisfaction. This of course means quicker adoption and better productivity.
