How To Manage Word, PowerPoint & Excel Docs in NetSuite
Blog
Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files play a vital role in your business operations, facilitating tasks like contract management, financial analysis, and sales presentations, all critical to achieving key objectives.
As your business scales, the challenge of efficiently managing these files intensifies, from communication hurdles to locating the latest version.
This underscores the importance of embracing a more integrated collaboration approach, especially if your operations are centred around NetSuite, where crucial customer and financial data influence these documents.
We'll explore the drawbacks of keeping Microsoft documents separate from NetSuite, and later, present a solution to competing NetSuite apps that streamlines these processes using a single application.

Time to rethink email sharing
Choosing to share Microsoft documents through email can lead to version control issues.
Is the most recent file in their possession? Did it find its way to the correct recipient, or is it quietly gathering digital dust in their inbox?
The absence of precise control and visibility into these essential processes can impede productivity, potentially causing individuals to engage with outdated documents if they missed your recent communication addressing such matters.
Accuracy, compliance & peace of mind
NetSuite serves as your 'single source of truth,' ensuring the precise information needed for creating documents with accuracy and compliance.
However, collaborating with individuals outside your NetSuite ecosystem means they lack the same streamlined access to this crucial data.
As a result, there's a risk of them assembling documents with incorrect customer details, potentially violating compliance laws.
While conscientious collaborators may request information from you to prevent such occurrences, this still necessitates manual searching on your part, diverting valuable time away from more crucial tasks.
Break free from desktop clutter
Do you ever find yourself saving Microsoft documents here and there on your desktop or stashing them in unstructured folders?
It happens, especially with a lot on your plate, but as you scale, this scattered approach to saving documents can pose challenges.
Imagine not having to spend your day searching through multiple systems or locations just to find that one document that holds the key to getting things done!
