As a referral for NetSuite I would say that one of the questions I am asked most often has to do with backing up the data.  If you are used to having your data where you can see it, touch it, hold it, then NetSuite or Saas as a whole is going to be a huge change.  And, if you are used to being "tied" to your office because that is where your data is, that too will be a huge change. 

The biggest upside for me as the CEO of a growth company is my ability to do my job effectively from anywhere there is internet access.  NetSuite is a hosted solution.  The data is in real-time, all the time.  I could be on the west coast or in France and still be able to perform my job.  My dashboard is custom designed to my needs.  I see ALL pertinent data without even needing to run a single report.

If you are a potential customer reading this blog, and you are considering NetSuite, give up control of your data and let someone else do the work.  

US Markerboard has been using NetSuite for going on 5 years.  Have a great day!
