Case Study: Penguin Computing achieves real-time visibility and control with Oracle NetSuite

Penguin Computing Replaces SAP R/3 for Better Visibility and Control with NetSuite

Penguin Computing, a Fremont-based provider of Linux and high-performance enterprise hardware, faced limited visibility and high maintenance costs with its aging on-premise SAP R/3 system. Business users relied on IT and costly consultants for reporting and troubleshooting, and the company needed to replace the unsupported SAP version to gain real-time access to data and better operational control.

Penguin selected NetSuite cloud ERP for its simplicity, rich functionality and robust API, completing a rapid three-month implementation and integrating NetSuite with Salesforce. Using NetSuite for financials, work orders/assemblies, inventory and revenue recognition, Penguin gained real-time visibility, eliminated integration and maintenance headaches, retired three servers, improved IT efficiency by 30%, supported build-to-order production, and scaled operations across 2,500 customers in 40 countries.
