Case Study: Ken Blanchard Companies achieves unified operations and faster financial close with Oracle NetSuite

Ken Blanchard Turns Leadership Training Program into Global Company

Ken Blanchard Companies, a global leader in leadership training founded in 1979, delivers programs to more than 150,000 people annually and generates about $60M in revenue. As the business expanded into Canada, the UK and Asia, its operations were hindered by disparate systems—Navision financials, Salesforce for CRM/marketing and a homegrown project tool—prompting an initiative to streamline processes and establish a single source of truth.

Blanchard selected NetSuite (CRM, OneWorld and SuiteProjects) through NetSuite Professional Services and SuiteSuccess, replacing SAP and FinancialForce alternatives. The implementation produced faster financial close, more complete and accessible reporting, and a single version of financials, customers and services, and it set the stage for customer portals integrated with NetSuite to improve global partner communications.
