Some large enterprises have attempted to consolidate multinational and multi-company financials and operations on a single global instance of on-premise ERP, such as SAP or Oracle, only to struggle with lengthy deployments, exorbitant costs and ongoing difficulties with maintenance, inflexibility and integration. Other enterprises, daunted by the cost and complexity of single-instance global ERP, have labored on with the status quo of spreadsheets and manual work to manage and reconcile finances across a distributed business environment, sacrificing opportunities for greater business visibility, unified governance and growth. In the past several years, innovative enterprises have turned to a two-tier model for global ERP, deploying a cloud solution across subsidiaries and divisions that rolls up to on-premise ERP systems like SAP or Oracle at headquarters. NetSuite customers that have successfully deployed NetSuite to manage their global subsidiaries include Qualcomm, Land O'Lakes, Olympus and the IEEE, who deployed NetSuite as part of a two-tier strategy to:

Accelerate deployment and time to value. Cloud ERP is frequently implemented in a third to a half the time of a conventional on-premise system, positioning the enterprise to reap rewards much faster.

Dramatically reduce costs. Capital expenditures for a cloud ERP solution are a fraction of those required for an in-house system, with lower ongoing maintenance and total cost of ownership (TCO).

Improve agility for growth. Cloud ERP in a two-tier model supplies agility through real-time visibility into key financial and operational metrics, customization to divisional business needs without reliance on corporate IT, and provides the ability to scale on demand.

Unified governance with local flexibility. Global subsidiaries are empowered to meet local taxation and regulatory requirements while headquarters exercise unified governance across the distributed enterprise.
