As NetSuite Solution Providers, the firms below can draw on their respective vertical domain knowledge and best practices, delivering end-to-end services ranging from deal qualification, customer acquisition, implementation, customization to customer support and service.
SaaS Consulting Group (www.saascg.com), a business advisory and consulting firm based in Austin, TX joined the NetSuite Solution Provider Program to help clients improve business processes by leveraging established and innovative cloud technology. The startup has quickly become one of Austin's premier cloud computing consulting firms with an emphasis on the technology and distribution verticals. Rapid implementations and strong word-of-mouth have made it possible for SaaS Consulting Group to attract and retain a roster of fast-growing clients interested in modernizing their systems and replacing costly, stand-alone systems. "After working with NetSuite in sales, finance and operation roles at my previous company, and seeing the productivity benefits and increased security available in the cloud, I knew that we needed to be part of this growth," said Rob Gottschalk, SaaS Consulting Group CEO. "The NetSuite value proposition is very obvious to forward-thinking organisations. Our customers are realizing these benefits within weeks of implementation."

The complex, multinational businesses which were once forced to run on mainframe systems or face multi-year implementations of outdated on-premise software can now modernise their operations with Protelo's expertise and NetSuite's flexible cloud architecture in a fraction of the time and cost. "NetSuite is the only company positioned to dominate its market. Virtually every other solution is based on old technology, owned by consolidators, and not moving forward," says Protelo President Christer Johansson. "NetSuite's vision for multinational markets, languages, currencies, and taxation rules, and the upmarket growth of NetSuite OneWorld are particularly appealing to us."
