As you may or may not know, Second life is on the verge of exploding in popularity. For whatever reasons Linden Lab have been receiving as lot of press coverage lately. Perhaps it is in recognition that a lot of people are spending a lot of time in virtual worlds, like Second Life. A lot of people. Essentially Second Life is up against the Microsoft Xboxes and PlayStations of the world in attracting users. And from current reports, Second Life is doing very well. So what has this to do with NetSuite? Well have a look at this exert from the press release: “Second Life has grown nearly seven-fold in the last twelve months,” said John Zdanowski, Linden Lab’s chief financial officer. “We needed a system that could support our growth as we take our financial and accounting infrastructure to the next level.” Due to its exponential growth, Linden Lab quickly outgrew its original business applications, which were used to run its back-office financial operations. It needed business software that could be installed quickly — in about 60 days — and just as swiftly scale with its rapid growth. Linden Lab chose NetSuite for its proven speed-to-implementation, its ability to replace separate ERP and CRM applications with a single, integrated business management application, and its track record in scaling with growing companies. “We designed NetSuite to bring a rich business application suite to the mid-market by combining deep, integrated functionality with the ease of use and ease of access of an on-demand application. It’s always thrilling for us to see the world’s fastest-growing companies like Linden Lab use NetSuite to help make their vision a reality,” said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. And the next interesting thing about the deal? It was managed via a distributor such as IconTSI who can cater for the individual needs of the customer. Nice going Linden Lab.
