- Multi-National Enterprise Support
- On-Demand/Cloud Solution
- All-in-one Enterprise Management
Cons

Overall
NetSuite OneWorld is for mid-sized companies that have multi-subsidiary and multinational operations, and it can be configured to manage all of your legal entities and business units from one NetSuite account.
OneWorld rolls up multi-currency forecasts across multi-national sales organizations, permitting sales staff to manage orders and forecasts against quota in their local currency, while providing headquarters consolidated figures in the base currency. Similarly, dashboards can display roll-ups of country specific business activities and results with full drill-down capabilities to the underlying records. OneWorld is a powerful module that is particularly well suited to global and multi-national businesses.
However, though you save money on overhead, support costs for NetSuite solutions is pretty high since they only take on customers who will spend at least $10K/year. Additionally, users often report dissatisfaction with NetSuite’s support services. As far as the solution itself goes, it’s strong in financial consolidation and project management, but somewhat lacking in its CRM module. If you’re a manufacturer/distributor, you’ll have to add the modules you need for manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain/logistics.
In any case, if your organization is relatively large, has multiple subsidiaries, and is shopping around for a tier 2 cloud system, then NetSuite OneWorld is a pretty good cloud alternative to legacy systems like Oracle or SAP.
