The new version is the 12th generation of the NetSuite application suite and adds new project management functionality, a key requirement for the professional services industry.

"Also, NetSuite's project tracking, the ability to monitor time budgeted and time spent on project tasks, is excellent. We can now better analyze and optimise our employees' workloads, thereby increasing their efficiency."
