NetSuite: Strategic Partnerships to Fuel Your Clients’ Southeast Asia Expansion

As a leading Oracle NetSuite partner in the United States, you understand the complexities of

managing expansions for your clients. However, catering to a clientele expanding to an entirely new region, such as Southeast Asia, can prove challenging.

This places the onus on organisations like yours to focus on partnerships with regional NetSuite consultancies instead. In the Southeast Asia region, PointStar Consulting is one of the pioneer batches of NetSuite consultancies, with one of the largest cloud ERP implementation teams.

Before proceeding, let’s examine some challenges encountered by a NetSuite consultancy like yours in the United States when faced with growing clientele with Southeast Asia expansion plans.

Challenges Facing US NetSuite Partners Catering to Clinetele With Southeast Asia Expansion Plans

Diverse Regulatory Landscape

Each Southeast Asian country has its own set of business regulations, tax laws, and compliance requirements. Navigating this complex regulatory environment requires in-depth local knowledge.

Cultural and Language Barriers

The region’s cultural diversity and multiple languages can pose significant challenges in communication, business negotiations, and client relations.

Localisation Requirements

NetSuite implementations often need extensive localisation to accommodate local languages, currencies, and accounting standards specific to each country.

Market Fragmentation

The Southeast Asian market is not homogeneous. Each country has its unique business practices, consumer behaviours, and economic conditions.

Talent Acquisition and Retention

Finding and retaining skilled NetSuite professionals who understand both the US and local markets can be challenging and expensive.

Infrastructure Variability

The quality and reliability of IT infrastructure can vary significantly across the region, affecting NetSuite deployments and support.

Local Competition

Established local NetSuite partners with strong client relationships and market understanding can be formidable competitors.

Time Zone Differences

Managing projects and providing support across significantly different time zones can strain resources and affect service quality.

Legal Complexities

Setting up business entities, understanding local labour laws, and managing intellectual property rights in various countries can be legally complex and time-consuming.

Financial Risks

Currency fluctuations, varying payment practices, and the need for significant upfront investment in expansion can pose financial risks.
