Shifting from Greentree to NetSuite 

 

A growing business often places demands on your business accounting software that you never planned for. Suddenly you find yourself sitting on a pile of business systems and battling creeping IT costs. Greentree can’t keep up.

Thousands of businesses arrive at a similar crossroads every year. Timing is everything: if you replace Greentree too early, then you may end up with more software than you need right now.

But if you wait too long, you could end up struggling with inefficient business processes that could actively damage your business performance and prospects for future profitability and growth.

At what point do the costs to the business of maintaining Greentree—and the other systems it requires to function—outweigh the benefits of keeping it in place?

When is the right time to make the move to a Greentree alternative solution?

  • You’re wasting time playing “Hunt the Spreadsheet”.
  • Your management reports are prone to errors or are out of date.
  • Simple Greentree reports take an unacceptable amount of time to run or print.
  • You can’t get a comprehensive view across all of your business units.

Comparing Greentree & NetSuite

The Future of Greentree

 

NetSuite utilises a unique, globally consistent engagement method that helps customers de-risk their implementation, contain costs, and reduce time to value. NetSuite also provides a customer success manager for the duration of the relationship and delivers support directly to customers. NetSuite provides support directly to its customers.

Greentree implementation, customisation and support risk and cost will be carried by the Greentree customer and partner. NetSuite has a defined product roadmap, receiving massive investment from Oracle, and operates in a defined marketplace set by Oracle.

The ERP mid-market is characterized by high levels of fragmentation. Vendors that are not growing at 30% or more are losing ground to other competitors

Greentree Hosting

Greentree is based on very old technology. Instead of MYOB investing in modernising Greentree, they opted to OEM Acumatica (MYOB Advanced) to get cloud ERP capabilities.

NetSuite is operated by NetSuite. NetSuite focuses on delivering a service to its 18,000 customers that is scalable, resilient and secure. We have a lot to lose if an outage occurs!

If MYOB Greentree is installed on-premise or even hosted by an MYOB partner, how is scalability, resiliency and security going to be built into the overall solution? Often these service qualities are ignored until something goes wrong.

How NetSuite Works

Customisation

 

NetSuite is highly configurable, providing rich capabilities for customers to tailor NetSuite functionality and reporting themselves. Customisation is available to customers who require capabilities beyond the current version of NetSuite. NetSuite provides sandbox capabilities that allow customers to view their configurations and customisations applied to the yet-to-be-released version of NetSuite.

Greentree can be customised. It is unknown whether upgrades break customisations, but it is expected that deep level customisations will break. An MYOB customer has to work with their MYOB partner to figure out an upgrade process and build out an upgraded environment.

An MYOB customer will need a developer to create and change reports. The onboard reporting capability is poor, and often customers are forced to use a 3rd party tool like Crystal.
