Singapore, May 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading Provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced NetSuite OneWorld for Hong Kong and Singapore. Localised and designed to meet the business, regulatory and tax compliance needs of regional businesSES, NetSuite OneWorld brings an agile and flexible cloud software application that can run mISSion-critical business processes with global financial capabilities unmatched in the industry. Already in use by more than 200 subsidiaries and legal entities of global companies running business in Singapore and more than 150 in Hong Kong, NetSuite OneWorld can give today's businesses the ability to expand and transform their organISAtions and reinvent their business models to meet the ever changing demands of their markets and the expectations of their customers.
Businesses seeking to gain business efficiency, grow revenues, expand globally and enter new markets often find themselves held back by software systems siloed by department, geography or legal entity structures, leaving them unable to deliver an optimal customer experience and gain INSIGHTs into their operations. These dISParate software systems not only cannot scale with business growth, but also introduce excessive costs and potential errors, while restricting businesses' ability to respond to their changing markets and the needs of their customers. While on-premise software such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics GP requires costly maintenance and disrupts the business with every product upgrade, forcing companies into version lock, other available cloud financial software solutions only offer basic product functionality that cannot scale and support business needs and growth. The agility, flexibility and scalability that NetSuite OneWorld provides can be difficult to achieve by businesses running legacy on-premise software, or immature ERP cloud solutions that are years behind NetSuite and only offer rudimentary functionality.
NetSuite OneWorld, a Game-Changer for Singapore and Hong Kong Businesses
Singapore is widely seen as the hub for Southeast Asia, which has a tremendous opportunity for growth with the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, creating a regional economic force. With AEC, the borders of member states (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand , Vietnam, Brunei , Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar) were officially opened to the free flow of trade, labour and capital, creating an enormous market: the region has over 622 million people, and when combined has a GDP of USD $2.6 trillion, making it the third largest economy in Asia (behind China and Japan) and the world's seventh largest. The lowering of trade barriers and tariffs creates a more competitive environment for local players as nimble new entrants or well capitalized multinationals enter the market.
Hong Kong is viewed as a gateway to China. It has been the ASEAN region's largest trading partner since 2009, while ASEAN has been China's third-largest trading partner, thanks to a Free Trade Agreement between the two. The combination of a unified AEC and growing demand from the Chinese market, creates a huge opportunity for businesses in the region.
To fully capitalise on this opportunity and expand business across borders, businesses need a modern, flexible and global financial system, with support for local language, currencies and tax and regulatory requirements.
