NETSUITE BASHES COMPETITION IN AWARDS

NetSuite has released the names of the winners of its Hairball Awards, which were honored at its conference last week. But the awards say as much about the SaaS vendor's no-holds barred marketing as it does about the honorees. Each award description listed the products that NetSuite replaced at the end-user company, which contrasts with yesterday's earnings conference calls by the CEOs of Deltek and Blackbaud.
Asked by analysts to say which companies Deltek was coming up against, CEO Kevin Parker said he would just refer to them as the big three players. Blackbaud CEO Marc Chardon said, "I don't make it a practice to compare our product set to the products of other organizations significantly."  NetSuite isn't so shy. Mycom received the award for Most Applications Replaced, which was nine, "including Sage, Microsoft, and Peachtree, and over 250 spreadsheets." TradeCard,  honored as Best Software Company Solution, replaced Oracle, QuickBooks, Salesforce.com, Lotus Notes and Excel. POSitive Technology took home the award for Best Services Company Solution using NetSuite to displace GoldMine, QuickBooks Pro, AutoTask, Microsoft Project, QuoteWerks and a custom database. NetSuite also released channel awards, with one partner of the year for each of three regions. EnabledSuccess, based in Toronto, Ontario, got the award for the Americas and was described as the top producer of new business in the region. ForwardHindsight, based in Minneapolis, was named Solution Provider of the Year, Worldwide.
