Book Synopsis

NetSuite is an easy-to-use, customizable enterprise software for running your business

NetSuite offers an integrated application that wraps all the essential information technology needs -- ERP, CRM, HR, customer service, ecommerce, warehouse and inventory management, and project management -- into one tidy application. NetSuite For Dummies is for NetSuite customers, anyone thinking about becoming a NetSuite customer, or anyone with a NetSuite test account. What you need is a simple guide for getting around the program and becoming familiar with its customizable features.

This book provides both a comprehensive overview of NetSuite and, in some sections, detailed instructions on specific topics. It provides a succinct and somewhat lighthearted summary of NetSuite in plain English -- without the jargon but with a few tricks and tips, and plenty of examples along the way. Inside you'll discover:

• An overview of the NetSuite basics, plus guidance on customizing it to meet the needs of your business
• How to track money -- from invoicing and managing receivables to paying bills and taking inventory
• How to hone your company's marketing efforts
• The importance of sales force automation and turning leads into customers
• Details on fulfilling and shipping orders, providing services, and project management
• Ways to improve partnership relationships
• How to support customers with excellent customer service
• The type of site that's best for you in NetSuite, how to get it to match your company image, maximize your exposure, and more

None of that means anything if you can't measure your success, so you'll also learn to customize your dashboard to see the metrics and reporting you need to see and analyze.

NetSuite For Dummies also provides ten tips for a successful NetSuite implementation, answers to frequently asked questions, and bonus chapters online with information about scripting, customization, and setting up your Web site.
