I ' d forgotten about that . What a prick . <| sep |> i t r a v e l e d s o l o t o e g y ptandyesitwassafeTraveled the world for some years , and I always love it when people tell me this . Its like saying I played Russian Roulette , and I am still alive , so its not dangerous . <| sep |> We pay about $ 40 k per year . You pay by the number of users so if you have only 5 people in the system it could be much cheaper . All of 40 of my employees live and work in NetSuite , which isn ' t necessarily the case for most companies . You can expect to spend $ 1520 k on upfront implementation costs . However , working with a local reseller will save you a lot of money since their consulting rates are much less expensive true for any business software . It sounds expensive , but when I work out the math it actually comes out cheaper over time . It ' s a cloud system so I don ' t have any IT overhead or expenses . My accountants spend their time billing clients and not having to worry about upgrades . Oracle recently purchased NetSuite a couple months ago . NS was already fairly equal to Oracle ' s pricing and it is already one of the most expensive systems on the market right now , so I don ' t see it going up under Oracle management . Oracle bought NS because they didn ' t have a good cloud ERP alternative . They would shoot themselves in the foot by trying to sunset the product and move everyone to onpremise Oracle systems .
