How Firefox 1.5 Works with NetSuite
So Mozilla has announced Firefox 1.5 and what a great browser it is. While I have been using Firefox on my desktop before this, since downloading the new version I have been using it exclusively. In the previous Firefox 1.0.6 there were some pages of NetSuite that were a little mis-organized, but in this new version it is just terrific.
Now because of the amount of spyware I found on my desktop the other day, I have seriously been considering changing my operating system from the current XP. Looking at the situation, I believe that I can operate as well as I am currently doing using a version of Linux. And what is more Firefox 1.5 is produced for various versions of Linux as well.
Seriously, this is what I see is part of being a Fast Company -- a Company that can change browsers and even operating systems and still be able to function just as well. If the current operating system is too expensive for each computer in a Fast Company, then computers can be changed, operating systems can be changed and the company continues without missing a beat.
Secondly, here we must also consider what we are doing when connecting to NetSuite and using this software to run our company. What we are doing is akin to plugging into the electricity network. When we obtained the services of an electrician to wire our home or office up, we fully intended to connect to the electricity service so that we could power our appliances. This is exactly what we do when we plug into the NetSuite Service, we are fully intending to use this service to power our company-wide communication and recording services.
Your company and my company are not really interested in the software called NetSuite -- what we are interested in is getting a service that can power internal communication and business recording. Now it should not matter if we get that service delivered into a Microsoft Browser or a Firefox browser, or delivered via Linux or delivered by XP. It just needs to work and get those communication and business recording jobs done.
Being free to move and not be tied down to a huge investment in a proprietary system that only works with a particular tools -- such as Lotus Notes or something else like that -- is not what a Fast Company needs. A Fast Company needs to be flexible so that decisions can be made and changes can occur in hours and not months or years. This is part of being a company of today.
