“The choice for us was pretty clear—we needed to be in the Cloud, and NetSuite is the leader. NetSuite saved us a considerable amount of money compared to a more traditional route.” Sonoma Media Investments
Seamless Transition Onto a Future-Proof Platform
- Fast, disruption free go-live
- NetSuite was implemented within a tight deadline, transitioning the new businesses off the parent company’s systems without any disruption in service to customers. The implementation brought all major newspaper and magazine publications owned by Sonoma Media onto NetSuite as well, unifying all media properties on a single platform.
- Efficiencies, flexibility lend business advantage
- NetSuite provides robust financial controls and consolidation functionality, cutting month-end close by a week, while being flexible enough to integrate applications specific to the publishing industry via the SuiteCloud Developer Platform. With the success the company has had using NetSuite’s accounting platform, it will soon go live on NetSuite CRM and Cash-to-Pay platforms.
- Gaining an edge in a competitive industry
- With total integration of the GL, CRM and Cash-to-Pay platforms, Sonoma Media will have end-to-end visibility across its media properties and real-time access to data and planning capabilities to help monitor and optimize cash flow, Sonoma Media can make insight-driven decisions that allow it to evolve its business to compete in the challenging newspaper industry.
