About Your Business and Requirements
NetSuite for Competitive AdvantageWhat comes to mind when you think of Competitive Advantage? Breakthrough products, low cost production, the killer app, new distribution channels...The list is long and every enterprise may have a different answer. But many owners of small and medium enterprises do not consider software a competitive advantage. That's a mistake. You will find out very quickly that without the right software you may not be able to maintain the advantage you've worked so hard to create. It takes time, energy and cash to run multiple systems, and growing the business according to plan will simply require more bodies. Can Your Business Do the Double - Triple? Don't throw bodies at the problem. Look around and try to find a system that helps you meet increasing demand efficiently, understand sales and cost trends, and exploit new channel opportunities. Software like this exists? Yes, and you are at the right place to find out how it works, how it matters to your business, and what it's going to cost to run your business on it. At the end of the day, software is never going to replace the creativity, hard word, resiliency and intelligence of the entrepreneur/business owner. We all understand this - no argument. But software can help you to put your dreams into motion. It can help you double the top line and triple the bottom line. The Double-Triple. The Secret of the Leaders Take a close look at your industry and other industries with which you are familiar. Leading Enterprises get out in front and stay out in front because they use every tool to outwit and outperform the competition. Though they are in varied industries and led by people of completely different philosophies and temperment, these leading enterprises are alike in one very important aspect: They have the cash at hand to continue to fuel their advantage. There is only one way to make and keep your Enterprise cash rich: The Double - Triple. You must find a way to double your sales while tripling your net income. The only way to do it is to keep the middle of the P/L lean. People and Facilities are two of the big drags on Profits. Office space rent is really exhorbitant. Finding and hiring the right talent in a single geographic area is tough, nay impossible. The answer is to keep your enterprise as efficient and flexible as possible while taking advantage of far flung talent and inexpensive facility space. The final key is an integrated system that allows you to double the business without any more bodies. This is NetSuite's Competitive Advantage NetSuite allows your most important people to work from anywhere at any time. They can enter a sales order into the system in Orlando; have it fulfilled from the Rochester, MN warehouse; and invoiced from the Grand Rapids business office. All in the same hour. What IT backbone does a system like this require? Simple DSL or cable access to the internet and a laptop computer, or even an I-phone, suffices. There are competitors in your industry who build out offices and warehouses. They hire IT pros to manage networks and databases. They run multiple systems because the CEO golfs with a lot of different people, and they all swear by the quality of the software they use. One thing is for sure, a business like this cannot survive long in today's market. They are going to have their lunch eaten by companies that operate globally with a lean, connected team, and whose total IT spend is less than the salary of one clerk. A business like the one above cannot do the double - double, much less the Double - Triple. Manage Your Economic Ecosystem with NetSuite NetSuite enables companies to do the Double - Triple and SightLines Consulting knows how to make it happen.

How Does SightLines Consulting Assist the Double - Triple? It's a good question. Let us answer this way. Our Clients come to us during their search because they want to be sure that NetSuite works for their business model, and they want to make sure that the company making the promises also delivers them. We work at understanding your business model, designing NetSuite to work for your model and building out the system to deliver your model. Most often, we understand your business requirements, design a prototype and build the solution with you, including training the troops. Sometimes we just understand your business model and propose a design. We never just build out the system. We realize that Information Technology is a challenge for the Small and Medium Enterprise. You need good information as a foundation for sound business decision making, but the investment in a high end system and its implementation can be overwhelming, and that's why we emphasize the Business Model Consultation. By starting off in the right direction, your chances of ending in the right place increase dramatically.
