SAN MATEO, Calif. — November 18, 2009 —November 18, 2009 — NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of cloud computing business management software suites, today announced that NetSuite has received IDC’s SMB Excellence Award in the Software as a Service and Cloud Computing category for providing innovative solutions to the small and medium-sized business markets (SMB). NetSuite was the only Software as a Service (SaaS) business software suite vendor to receive the award. The global industry research leader made its selections based on suitability to the needs of SMB companies, milestone accomplishments, and the competitive disruption caused by the company’s innovative on-demand technology for on-premise, legacy vendors such as Microsoft and SAP.

IDC recognizes NetSuite alongside household and industry-standard names such as Cisco, EMC, Verizon, AT&T, and IBM. “NetSuite continues to be a tremendous ally of the SMB market, providing top-shelf functionality to business owners with a modern business model which avoids the up-front costs that made it difficult for SMBs to implement traditional on-premise ERP systems,” said Michael Fauscette, Group VP, Software Business Solutions at IDC. “NetSuite’s innovative cloud computing-based ERP has paved the way for thousands of small and medium-sized companies to transform their operations while minimizing infrastructure investments.”

Since launching in 1998, NetSuite has continually redefined the enterprise computing space. Its latest triumph, NetSuite OneWorld, is the first and only on-demand solution delivering real-time global business management and financial consolidation to SMBs with multinational and multi-subsidiary operations. The SuiteCloud platform enables third-party developers to quickly and easily develop robust add-ons to NetSuite functionality, and permits easy integration with legacy enterprise accounting platforms for subsidiaries or major trading partners.

The IDC SMB Excellence Award is NetSuite’s latest accomplishment in a year full of accolades. This summer, Gartner Dataquest released figures showing that NetSuite has joined the ranks of North America’s top ten ERP vendors by revenue. Strategic advisory service ISM Inc. recognized NetSuite and NetSuite CRM with a Top 15 CRM Small & Medium Business Software Award for 2009. Customer Interaction Solutions magazine named NetSuite CRM as a recipient of a 2009 CRM Excellence Award. Most recently, British businesses named NetSuite the top Enterprise Accounting Software vendor in Sift Media’s Software Satisfaction Awards 2009. These awards validate and reinforce NetSuite’s mounting importance to companies of all sizes looking for a powerful, integrated enterprise management solution.

Using Google Analytics with NetSuite will work just fine. It will track all the metrics and keywords you need.

However most people are spending a lot of money on pay per click advertising such as  Google AdWords, Yahoo, Bing and other type of campaigns. They would like to see how much money they spent on a certain keyword and how much revenue it generated. That’s a good way to determine if the keyword is worth the price.

Google Analytics supports e-commerce tracking, but with the way NetSuite handles the data you just can’t do it. And people are looking for a solution to that.

The good news is that we have the solution, we tested it and it works perfectly. It’s also open source, so you can use it for free (as long as you keep the copyright notice), or hire us to do it for you at a very decent pricing if your scripting skills aren’t that good.

Citricle’s NetSuite/Google Analytics integration solution will track orders and their amounts, items (with price, quantity), keywords (organic or pay-per-click), referrer and everything else Google Analytics supports (such as how much revenue a specific keyword generated).

Now, you can invest only in the keywords that drive revenue and a favorable ROI.

Special Promotion for Alternative Energy Companies Provides 50% Off First-Year NetSuite Subscription Fees

SAN MATEO, Calif. — July 15, 2009 — NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of cloud computing business management software suites, today announced a special sales program that makes it easy and cost effective for companies focused on energy-saving “green” technologies and business models to acquire NetSuite’s software for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Ecommerce. The new program, which features a first-year 50% discount on the company’s full on-demand business suite, is a key part of NetSuite’s ongoing effort to enable the “green economy” by recognizing and supporting progressive-minded organizations that want to move their key business computing resources to NetSuite’s energy-efficient cloud computing infrastructure.

Organizations that can show proof of membership in associations such as the Solar Industries Association, Sustainable Buildings Industry Council, American Wind Energy Association, U.S. Green Building Council, or other “green” associations are eligible to receive a 50% discount off NetSuite’s first-year subscription fees for all users. The offer is active until December 31, 2009. Current NetSuite customers signing up under the promotion will receive a 10% renewal price cap for subsequent years.

Because NetSuite manages enterprise software systems in a centralized, highly secure datacenter, customers need not replicate a costly, energy-hungry datacenter environment of their own. By vastly reducing the need for servers and support equipment, such as server room air conditioning, the average NetSuite customer can cut its electricity bill by more than $10,000 per year. When added to the overall costs of hardware, software licenses, maintenance, personnel and occupancy, cost reductions can exceed $100,000 per year. A recent study by third-party consultant Greenspace determined that NetSuite’s shared SaaS architecture last year saved its customers more than $61 million in energy bills.

Many business owners think: “More leads = More business”. What is more true that between 60-85% of all Web generated leads never produce any sales.  If you have a poor lead source or sales funnel that isn’t optimized then leads actually turn to waste. So what makes profitable leads? How do you get them in your pipeline?

The are key component to a Web lead flow that actually creates results is letting the voice of your company create interested buyers for your product or service as word of mouth.

How does this happen? Someone send your an email or fill out your contact Web form? Maybe you use Google Adwords or Facebook PPC? However you generate your traffic will dictate the level of interest from your potential buyers. Then that information goes into a CRM.

Sure, you got the name, number, and address. But is this person even qualified to buy your product? Too many lead generation campaigns focus on quantity over quality. Why not offer a free download for those who are just virtually tire-kicking? A good and prolific content marketing campaign fully integrated with Web 2.1 technology is crucial to developing qualified buyers and brand ambassadors for your product or company.

So how does your business generate truly profitable leads that are qualified, ready-to-buy, and increasing?
