NetSuite Two-Tier ERP for Oracle enables enterprises to drive global expansion by deploying the NetSuite OneWorld multinational business management solution to run subsidiaries and divisions while preserving headquarters' investments in Oracle.

"We've been able to implement three of our foreign entities much more efficiently and in a more cost-effective manner than a traditional ERP implementation. We look forward to expanding our NetSuite footprint in a number of strategic areas over the next two years."
