NetSuite is one of the most popular business software providers. A comprehensive solution, it comprises NetSuite Financials, NetSuite CRM+, NetSuite Ecommerce, NetSuite OneWorld, and NetSuite OpenAir to provide CRM, accounting, ERP, e-commerce, and professional services automation for the entire organization. For NetSuite customers, it’s critical to ensure all users have seamless access to NetSuite via single sign-on (SSO), and that their NetSuite accounts are created, updated, and deactivated on an integrated cycle with the rest of the IT systems.
Users struggle to remember their usernames and passwords, leading to distracting password reset requests that administrators must process quickly to keep users productive. Additionally, when new employees join your organization, they need rapid access to perform their daily tasks. When employees leave, their accounts must be promptly deactivated to preserve the integrity of any critical application data they may have had access to.
Provisioning and deprovisioning of NetSuite accounts is a manual, time-consuming, error-prone process. For NetSuite customers where Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is a core piece of their identity management infrastructure, bridging NetSuite authentication and user management with AD can be challenging. There is no native integration that would allow a user to log in to NetSuite with their AD credentials. Additionally, it doesn’t integrate NetSuite access with an AD user lifecycle. As a result, even when a user is deactivated in AD, she is likely to still have access to NetSuite.
Finally, organizations that adopt NetSuite typically value the benefits of software as a service (SaaS) and also deploy many other rapidly growing cloud applications like Google Apps, WebEx, GoToMeeting, Concur, and ADP, which exacerbates their SSO and user management challenges.
Single Sign-On

Automating provisioning frees administrators to focus on higher-value tasks and ensures that users always have access to the applications they need.
