LAS VEGAS, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SUITEWORLD
2019 -- The American Cancer Society, a global leader in
the fight against cancer, recently launched NetSuite to run
its core financial processes so it can focus valuable time and
resources on its mission to free the world of cancer. With
NetSuite, the American Cancer Society is looking to take advantage
of an integrated business platform to support its growth and
streamline the management of multiple programs and fundraising
efforts across its 900 U.S. offices.
Founded in 1913 by 10 doctors and five laypeople in New York City, the American Cancer Society has
grown into a nationwide, community-based health organization with
1.5 million volunteers and now attacks cancer from every angle 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. To support its network of volunteers,
multiple fundraising efforts, and expanding range of programs,
which include everything from critical research and
education/awareness campaigns to emotional support and the fight
for lifesaving policy changes, the American Cancer Society selected
NetSuite to replace its aging and fragmented infrastructure with a
single, scalable business platform.
"This year alone there will be an estimated 1,762,450 new cancer
cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer deaths in the U.S.," said
Rob King, CFO, the American Cancer
Society. "As we look to grow our impact, NetSuite will support
the management of our core financial operations so we are able to
focus on helping people get well and stay well, finding cures and
fighting back against the disease."
The American Cancer Society will use NetSuite across its growing
network of programs, volunteers and fundraising efforts. NetSuite
will also help with the management and tracking of donations and
goals. To help support the mission of the organization, NetSuite
will host a pledge wall at SuiteWorld19 where attendees can write
down their lifestyle promise in the fight against cancer. Attendees
are encouraged to share their pledge on social media using the
hashtags #AttackingCancer and #SuiteWorld19. For 2,000 pledges,
NetSuite will donate $10,000 to the
American Cancer Society.
"The American Cancer Society has led the fight against cancer
for more than 100 years and the results it has achieved are nothing
short of amazing," said Evan
Goldberg, EVP, Oracle NetSuite. "We are always excited when
we can help nonprofits focus their time and resources on making the
world a better place and are proud to be helping the American
Cancer Society manage its growing network of programs, volunteers
and fundraising efforts."
