NetSuite OneWorld Powers YouGov’s Global Expansion Strategy
As market researcher YouGov pursued an aggressive growth strategy, initially through acquisitions and then organic, it became clear that the company’s previous platform wasn’t capable of rapidly integrating acquired companies. In order to continue providing efficient service to its 2,500 customers amid its expansion efforts, YouGov needed synchronized financial, sales, CRM and project processes, and it didn’t want to take on the costs and time requirements of on-premise software.

Platform Needed for Rapid International Growth
Choosing cloud over on-premise
- NetSuite’s unified cloud solution enabled YouGov to avoid the costs and complexity of global on-premise systems. With NetSuite Services Resource Planning (SRP) providing an integrated, real-time solution across financials, sales, CRM and projects, YouGov is able to access a single version of the truth across two dozen offices around the world.
- Since deploying NetSuite in 2007, YouGov’s revenue has more than doubled, while adding just 8 administrative staffers. The company slashed two weeks off its annual budget cycle and can track and monitor how project resources are being utilized across the business.
