MobileIron Speeds IPO, Global Growth with NetSuite OneWorld

Ambitious Global Growth Strains Systems

Mobile application and device management company MobileIron underwent rapid growth after its founding. The company started international sales less than a year after first shipping products and was well down the path to an IPO, but its existing QuickBooks and PeachTree financial systems were holding it back. The company needed better data accuracy and a comprehensive approach to its business management software.

“Having our financials in order allowed us to write the S1 in January and be public six months later.” Leslie Wang, Corporate Controller, MobileIron

Rapid Implementation, Better Data: With its previous environment, employees often duplicated work between systems, increasing the possibility of errors. MobileIron needed to replace its patchwork of software and outside tech contractors in order to meet its worldwide growth ambitions. It implemented NetSuite in less than two months.

Efficiency and Accuracy Aid Growth: With NetSuite, MobileIron has real-time data availability and cut its monthly financial consolidation closing time from 10 days to six. That shortened monthly closing time also increased security, since employees can now log in to one common portal.

Scalability, Reach Keep MobileIron Moving: With NetSuite OneWorld’s unified system easing the work of auditors, MobileIron took the company public in just six months. Now operating 22 subsidiaries in 23 countries, MobileIron is leveraging NetSuite OneWorld’s multi-currency, multi-language support to give employees worldwide real-time access to sales and accounting data.
