The Top 5 Reasons Companies are Leaving Great Plains

Companies in just about every industry are leaving Microsoft Dynamics GP's (Great Plains) antiquated architecture and bloated cost structure behind. Today's businesses want more—they're moving to the modern, integrated, web-native and cloud-based simplicity of NetSuite. Here's why:  

Integrated Suite that Streamlines Business Processes 

 Real-Time Financial and Operational Visibility   

 Lower Total Cost of Ownership   

 Ease of Implementation, Customization, Maintenance and Use   

 Built-In Multi-Subsidiary Management and Financial Consolidation   

What Customers Are Saying  

Kardia Health Systems

"Microsoft Great Plains is good for bookkeepers and accountants but not business partners. In this day and age companies need their financial talent to be business partners. Microsoft Great Plains provides you with the basic financial information, but it will not show you the facts behind what is driving results. With NetSuite I can drill down on the numbers, see the history, even the actual documents and get the facts. That's information at my fingertips that you don't get with Microsoft Great Plains. Factual information is actionable information and allows the company's key stakeholders to make the best decisions possible."

Imagine

"When we ran on Great Plains, we could only get a report out of the office once a month, and not everybody had access to the system because the per-user cost were so high. NetSuite has not only made things easier, but more accessible as well."

Kevin Harding, Director IT, Imagine!

"We had worked to implement Great Plains starting in 2003, but $60,000 later, the system was never fully implemented and the company was at a crossroads. Our staff was in confusion. It was like SAP all over again. With Great Plains and SAP before it, we were always writing custom code, which can go on forever. We were looking at another $30,000 to $40,000 just to get Great Plains up and running, and there were no guarantees. In addition, we estimated costs would have tripled when factoring in a new CRM package and e-commerce system to accompany Great Plains. We knew that we had to get on a single system, and that's where NetSuite finally came into the picture."
