There's a common presumption in the business world – that Software as a Service (SaaS) applications remove all overheads associated with running in-house applications. Unfortunately, this is a false premise. While SaaS applications do bring significant advantages, they also come with their own set of management necessities and complexities.
The Hidden Costs of SaaS Management
Often, the tasks required to configure, maintain, and optimize SaaS applications fall onto staff members who may not be adequately prepared. This not only burdens your team but can also lead to inefficiencies and sub-optimal use of the software. Moreover, these hidden management costs tend to get lost in administrative expenses and are seldom accounted for, leading to a distorted view of the total cost of ownership.
The Solution: Managed Services
This is where the role of a Managed Services provider like Etter & Ramli (E+R) becomes crucial. We bring a wealth of practical experience and best practice knowledge gained across multiple deployments. Our dedicated 'Success Team' caters to all aspects of user support, skills enablement, technical development, and process compliance, focusing on maximizing value and achieving your desired business outcomes.
We also offer the flexibility of 'load balancing' resources. This means that you have access to the exact skills you need, exactly when you need them. By outsourcing your NetSuite administration to E+R, or engaging E+R as a retained service, you lower your total cost of ownership. You get a pool of certified and dedicated resources with domain expertise in NetSuite, ready to support your engagement manager.
Extracting Ultimate Business Value
At E+R, we believe in delivering more than just a service – we aim to offer value.

Partnering with a Managed Services provider like E+R not only dispels these myths but also paves the way for a more efficient, cost-effective, and value-driven approach to SaaS management.
