We did previously use a different solution. It was a legacy system that we migrated off of.

It was difficult to navigate. Information was hard to find and reports were done in Crystal. Unless you know how to write Crystal Reports, you constantly had to get a consultant to write reports for you. There were no dashboards. It was a client-server product being hosted in the cloud, so it didn't function really well as you also had to host a database. That setup gets clunky, which meant the performance was not great. As a result, trying to get information out, you're constantly having to do VLOOKUPs in Excel to get SQL information out and then massage and change it. It's was just very problematic. That legacy system really had to go. It was very labor-intensive doing any kind of entry. It was just sucking up a lot of time.

I've used JD Edwards World, but it's not a cloud-based solution, so that's its most significant difference from NetSuite OneWorld. If you want to upgrade on JD Edwards World, you must do it yourself, meaning you must migrate all your changes and customizations.

People who use JD Edwards World execute the upgrades and start lagging in functionality. Whereas with NetSuite OneWorld, it happens automatically overnight, and you get a test environment to try your changes. Still, when your time comes, it just upgrades automatically, and you don't have to do anything else in most cases.

I previously used Microsoft Excel. Additionally, I used QuickBooks, but it does not scale well.

I used to be an SAP consultant, so I used SAP before NetSuite OneWorld, but NetSuite OneWorld was growing at a good pace in the market, so I switched to it. I'm a consultant, so I implement NetSuite products too.

We previously used Quickbooks. We have moved away from the challenges of handling a public company (SEC reporting) and a commercial enterprise. 

We used Workamajig. We switched because it could not handle our ERP needs

Yes, we had a previous solution. We wanted a more robust solution which was cloud-based.

I used to be a traditional computing ERP (Prodstar-2, X3, X5, SAP R / 3, JDEdwards) implementer, often billing very well. I am convinced that cloud computing is a trend that we will not be able to avoid. It allows organizations to dramatically reduce their operating costs, and make them more profitable. This is why I decided to become a cloud integrator.

Our old solution did not meet our needs anymore. It was very difficult to report and handle accounting functions on it. Also, we were unable to support international expansion.
