Deloitte
Progressing at the Pace of Innovation

One of the oldest speculations that business leaders often indulge in is “Can I meet my business goals with my people’s sole expertise or by allying with an organization that best complements our vision?” Most often than not, the answer is—strategic alliance is the key to realizing business objectives. Tethered to strong shared values and synergistic allegiance, modern business alliances lay the cornerstone for developing customer loyalty, brand value, and even revving up the time to market.

To form a clearer picture, consider the alliance between the consulting giant Deloitte and cloud computing pioneer NetSuite. The top-tier technology behemoths established a firm foundation, rooted in innovation, to conjointly offer finance transformation, program assurance, implementation, application strategy, and change management along with an entire gamut of consulting services. “NetSuite’s demonstrated/time-tested, the customizable solution gives us the platform to answer the growing demand for cloud ERP which we have seen from businesses of all sizes,” says Paul Clemmons, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “With Deloitte’s change management, industry experience, and integration services, our joint customers can rapidly realize the power of the cloud.”

The Best of Both Worlds

Since closing their strategic alliance deal in 2014, Deloitte and Netsuite have been working closely to meld the best of both the firms—exceptional IT planning and execution skills of the former and the leading cloud ERP technology of the latter. Further, there is no contending that Deloitte has cornered the digital consultancy market with its huge repertoire of experience in cloud deployments and the practical know-how of aligning cloud solutions with critical business goals. Deloitte’s success in the marketplace—it’s unrivaled business acumen, technology implementation capabilities, industry insights— has earned it three prestigious Oracle NetSuite awards in the SuiteWorld2018, the annual ERP Cloud Conference hosted by NetSuite. NetSuite has honored Deloitte with the “Global Alliance Partner of the Year” award for the third year in a row, besides the “Vertical Alliance Partner of the Year” award for both software/hi-tech, and advertising, media, and publishing.

Jim McGeever, executive vice president, Oracle NetSuite remarks, “The Deloitte team understands that the cloud affords the agility and flexibility to completely rethink the way companies do business. Together, we are helping the world’s most innovative companies solve their biggest challenges using Oracle NetSuite solutions.”

The Catalyst for Innovation

Deloitte professionals empower organizations by enabling them to move at the pace of innovation and propelling business value with personalized time-tested NetSuite solutions. While the Deloitte team equips clients with the ability to innovate and drive success in the cloud, NetSuite with its digital mindset and pursuit of transformation functions as the catalyst behind the innovation. Experienced project teams at Deloitte go out of their way to assist clients in discerning significant cultural, organizational, and technical challenges, following which they handhold the client through the process of addressing them in the NetSuite cloud ERP deployment. Bringing a broad strategic perspective to planning and execution of cloud deployments, along with extensive knowledge and resources in enterprise applications, Deloitte helps organizations utilize NetSuite capabilities to unleash the potential of their cloud ERP solution.

The emerging technology service arena in Deloitte Innovation Consulting consists of high-performing NetSuite practitioners proficient in implementing NetSuite modules for CRM, human capital management, ecommerce, financials, business intelligence, and supply chain. Deloitte’s NetSuite practice brings forth an extensive array of services for NetSuite customers that comprise: services for end-to-end implementation, improving the cloud ERP environment on an ongoing basis after the initial go-live, controls and security, supply chain and financial transformation, organizational change and tax management. Besides, Deloitte’s global member firm network provides clients with the access to an exhaustive spectrum of services for risk management, consulting, tax, and finances.

Extracting the Value of Cloud Computing

NetSuite’s two-tier cloud ERP ecosystem is the best fit when it comes to small and medium-sized businesses that cannot afford the resources required to deploy a complicated and cost-extensive on-premise ERP system.

The cloud ERP excels in assisting companies with managing their core business operations through a single system including accounting, eCommerce, ERP, and CRM. However, while cloud computing plays an integral role to revamp the conventional business models and realign them with newer goals that drive utmost efficiency, reaping the benefits of a cloud ERP solution entails thorough planning to implement the right technology. When it comes to magnifying the net savings with cloud solutions, it’s imperative to gain a broader perspective of business transformation. To this end, Deloitte’s business transformation services can help identify methods to unleash the maximum potential of NetSuite cloud ERP implementation, accelerating coordination among chains of command and organizational boundaries. With a huge repertoire of experience in the areas of human capital, information technology, financial advisory services, risk, strategy, and solution deployment, Deloitte boosts the savings from Netsuite cloud implementation manifold.

Maximizing Security and Availability

It goes without saying that cloud adoption impacts data lifecycle and management, necessitating application security and data governance in the process. Implementing the right security controls and achieving enterprise availability demand much more than merely tested solutions. With eminent certifications like PCI DSS, SAS 70 Type II, and EU-US Safe Harbor, NetSuite does deliver utmost security and compliance yet organizations must mandate the secure administration and usage of cloud ERP services. For organizations searching for the apt security consultation for cloud ERP environments, the search ends with Deloitte’s team of expert cloud practitioners. Bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge in the security domain, the adept team enables organizations to establish the required safeguards and the business processes for fortifying sensitive business data, all the while complying with requisite government and regulatory standards.

The Deloitte-Netsuite joint force is committed to helping organizations address today’s challenges efficiently and effectively while driving exponential growth. There is no escaping the disruption that innovation has ushered in the modern business ecosystem in terms of products, prices, and business models. To sum up, the amalgamation of NetSuite’s world-class cloud ERP solution with Deloitte’s unrivaled business transformation and technology delivery prowess is what will propel organizations ahead of disruptions.Website: deloitte.com/us.
