IT and management consultants in Hong Kong can take advantage of new opportunities from NetSuite
solutions. In addition to receiving a 10% Referral Fee* for businesses you introduce to
NetSuite, our Referral Partner Program will enable you to offer improved services and establish
a long-term relationship with your client.
Many IT and management consultants join the NetSuite Referral Partner Program as a way to
generate revenue while others, especially those with specialised services such as vendor
selection, want to maintain impartiality. NetSuite provides two options:
- You can take the Referral Fee in cash.
- You can refer customers but elect not to receive a referral fee. You will still benefit from
membership in the program by gaining access to a better understanding of our software and
the advantages of SaaS, product demonstrations and new product information, industry news
and information, and other services offered exclusively to NetSuite Referral Partners.
Cloud-based or SaaS solutions is creating a new dynamic in the software market that enables
consultants to capture revenue that was historically allocated to value-added resellers
(VARs) of “traditional” or on-premise software packages. This is due to some fundamental
differences between SaaS and “traditional” software:
- NetSuite allows configuration to be done using a “click-not-code” process that enables
anyone with a good knowledge of the software to create/modify roles, reports, basic
workflows, and other aspects of the software. “Traditional” software requires most
configurations to be done using specialised coding languages previously created by VARs at
hundreds of dollars per hour. Consultants familiar with NetSuite can now offer these types
of services on an on-going basis without being certified in esoteric programming languages.
- SaaS solutions have a much lower total cost of ownership (TCO) because the subscription cost
of SaaS includes data back-up, security, maintenance/updates and other services that have
historically been provided by VARs. By leveraging the SaaS model and the Referral Partner
Program, consultants can “bundle” business process improvement and other consultative
services in conjunction with an implementation. Your customer will still have a much lower
TCO than they would have if they had purchased traditional software while perceiving (and
receiving) greater value.
- NetSuite enables you to perform customisation and integration using standard languages such
as JavaScript and Web Services. IT consultants familiar with these standardised languages
can create new interfaces for NetSuite, integrate external data, build custom websites
linked to the NetSuite back end, and many other services. These tools can also be used to
create extensions to NetSuite's base functionality, which can then be re-sold to other
NetSuite customers.
Management consultants additionally benefit when their customers use NetSuite. As an
end-to-end solution that captures critical business data on all aspects of a company's
operations—including ecommerce, marketing, sales, projects, inventory and
accounting—NetSuite allows consultants to access the information from anywhere, anytime for
analysis, and actionable insights to implement better processes. For example:
- Easily measuring the conversion rate or even the ROI for individual AdWords or other
marketing campaigns by joining financial/ERP, sales and marketing data.
- Setting up approvals and workflow on transactions as they flow across the organisation.
- Ensuring Fixed Bid projects are being priced properly by combining billing, employee cost,
and inventory and time-entry data.
- Determining and setting automated re-order points for inventory items based on sales
forecasts, historical sales and other variables.
