Customer Success

  • Cornerstone was able to undertake a successful public offering by centralising and standardising key financial processes such as financial consolidation, advanced revenue recognition, and client billing and renewals.
  • Cornerstone has experienced double-digit growth without adding IT staff for finance.
  • The company estimates NetSuite is saving it as much as $200,000 versus the cost of a comparable server-based system.
  • Automating billing processes and multi-currency conversions have helped Cornerstone reduce staff time spent on billings by as much as 60%.
  • NetSuite process automation helped the company save several months of staff time for financial calculations necessary for the company's IPO.
  • Bi-weekly financial reports run instantaneously, compared to requiring as much as six hours previously.
  • NetSuite's Workflow Manager function helped Cornerstone build Sarbanes-Oxley compliance rules into its financial process automation, without having to spend approximately $20,000 for third-party programmers.
  • NetSuite facilitates Cornerstone's expansion into new vertical markets by helping the company target promotions and innovate billings rules for newly defined customer groupings.
  • NetSuite OneWorld helps Cornerstone centrally manage its growing list of subsidiaries by automatically converting and consolidating nine different currencies into U.S. dollars.
  • NetSuite OpenAir helps Cornerstone's professional services team streamline time and materials billings.
  • NetSuite's financial controls flexibility helps Cornerstone achieve Sarbanes-Oxley compliance by simplifying reporting on financial users' roles and responsibilities.

Challenges

  • Limited business software couldn't support an international talent management company's aspirations to complete a public offering.
  • Complex customer contracts and revenue recognition requirements slowed financial reporting and hindered the Company's ability to scale finance to support the growth of the Company.
  • Lack of customer analysis tools prevented Cornerstone from focusing marketing and promotions on specific customer needs.

Solution

  • Advanced Revenue Reporting helps the company manage its revenue recognition and billing processes.
  • Cornerstone uses NetSuite partner Avalara's AvaTax software for automating sales tax processes.
  • NetSuite has helped improve expense tracking, forecasting and reimbursement speed.
