Unlike manufacturing-based industries, global services businesses have lacked the integrated business management tools necessary to truly manage corporate performance on a global basis. Spreadsheets and homegrown systems offer an opaque view into subsidiaries and divisions, making it difficult to weed out unprofitable projects. Finding the right resource with availability to work on a project can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Gauging demand and backlog across geographies is a guess at best.

These businesses also face a number of complex multi-currency billing, expense and revenue recognition management issues across tax jurisdictions that can sap time, resources and increase financial risk – all while trying to ensure ongoing prompt project delivery, billing and receivables across dispersed divisions and subsidiaries.

NetSuite OneWorld SRP uses cloud computing to address the issues of global project and financial management. The product’s comprehensive services management functionality makes it ideal for professional services, legal, accounting, business process outsourcing management and media-agency organizations with international operations. With its automated multi-currency management, built-in support for international tax, compliance and sophisticated revenue recognition management, NetSuite OneWorld SRP eliminates arduous manual processes and shortens the period-end close cycle. And because NetSuite OneWorld SRP is a native cloud solution, the software enables global services businesses to unlock these benefits with anytime, anywhere access and minimum capital expenditure, while ensuring fast deployment, and lean requirements for ongoing management.

“The combination of cloud computing and Services Resource Planning provides global services businesses with a powerful solution to manage the key drivers of any services business – revenue, utilization, profitability and days-sales-outstanding,” said Michael Fauscette, GVP of Software Business Solutions at IDC. “NetSuite OneWorld SRP is the most complete, end-to-end cloud-based business management suite that provides global services businesses with real-time visibility, resource management and operational control, across subsidiaries, currencies and geographies.”

“Most services businesses today run on software designed before the World Wide Web existed,” said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. “NetSuite OneWorld SRP brings services companies into the Internet Age, and in so doing massively reduces cost while improving productivity. Instead of waiting three months to find out what happened yesterday with a given project or subsidiary entity, with NetSuite OneWorld SRP services-based businesses can finally manage their operation in real-time.”

NetSuite pioneered the Services Resource Planning category with its acquisition and integration last year of OpenAir PSA, providing services businesses with the first solution to streamline the complete services lifecycle throughout their business—from sales and marketing to services delivery, expenses, billings, and revenue management. Now, with the availability of NetSuite OneWorld SRP, NetSuite and OpenAir deliver the kind of integrated line-of-sight visibility that is necessary to allocate resources efficiently, improve project profitability, and drive cash flow – from the corporate level, to subsidiary, and all the way down to individual projects.

Global services businesses are turning to NetSuite OneWorld SRP to power their worldwide growth, drive greater performance and provide global visibility into such key performance indicators as project cost, profitability and margin, and multi-currency management. NetSuite OneWorld SRP also enables a timely close process and more accurate revenue forecasts, as well as the visibility to efficiently manage resource allocation, improve project delivery and streamline time and expense processes.
