			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept 24, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ &#8212; NetSuite Dashboards, Sales Order Records, Customer Records, and Click-to-Call a Finger-Tap Away on iPhone and iPod touch NetSuite Inc.

NetSuite for iPhone and iPod touch is available now for free on the App Store at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/. NetSuite already had more than 1,000 downloads on the App Store in the first two weeks after it was available. The app delivers on-the-go access to NetSuite&#8217;s integrated business management suite, including real-time Dashboards that deliver key Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Ecommerce operational data.</p>
<p>Thousands of companies use NetSuite to manage their key business processes, leveraging its Software as a Service (SaaS) design to access invoicing, customer records, inventory, and financial reporting from any Internet-enabled computer. Now, for the first time, iPhone and iPod touch users can access NetSuite functionality using a rich interface designed to run natively on iPhone and iPod touch, adding to the anytime, anywhere features already offered by NetSuite&#8217;s cloud computing platform. Additionally, if a company has implemented custom fields, custom records, role-based security or custom dashboard elements in their NetSuite account, they will all be seamlessly reflected in the NetSuite app.<br />

From a CEO view, I can see my KPIs and can get top 10 information quickly &#8211; by sales, customers, sales reps, etc. Like in a browser, the app lets me find a customer quickly through searching &#8211; and I&#8217;m one who loves &#8216;recent records&#8217; for quick access to information. The iPhone application adds tremendous value to my NetSuite experience.&#8221; Mobile business functionality enabled by NetSuite includes: &#8212; NetSuite Dashboards including KPIs, report snapshots, trend graphs, scorecards, reminders, and recent records. The dashboards are interactive, allowing users to drill down and explore trends with the touch of a finger.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NetSuite Cloud Gives Companies Instant Access to USPS Shipping Millions of Packages Already Shipped Annually Through NetSuite Integration</p>
<p>SAN MATEO, Calif. — September 10, 2009 — NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of cloud computing business software suites, today announced that the U.S. Postal Service® (USPS®) shipping is now integrated with NetSuite, providing the thousands of NetSuite customers with yet another strong and cost-effective shipping option. This development enables companies to offer postal delivery to its customers while reducing time spent on manual processes such as printing labels and manifest forms. This in turn reduces shipping error risk and promotes greater customer satisfaction. For more information about NetSuite integration with USPS.</p>
<p>As the engine at the heart of the $1 trillion American mail industry, the U.S. Postal Service needs no introduction. Flexible and cost-effective, and the only delivery method with access to millions of Post Office Boxes™, this development gives any NetSuite customer with an interest in reliable, universal delivery an important new option for managing order, shipping, tracking, and receivables processes.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are very pleased that the leader in cloud computing business software suites now provides USPS integration and are eager to provide a cost-effective, reliable shipping option to NetSuite customers,&#8221; said Gary Reblin, vice president of Expedited Shipping for the U.S. Postal Service.<br />
<span id="more-393"></span></p>
<p>NetSuite&#8217;s USPS shipping integration capabilities were developed in partnership with Endicia, a leader in internet shipping and mailing software for small businesses, industrial and enterprise users and part of Newell Rubbermaid’s DYMO Technology Global Business Unit. Because the USPS integration is part of the NetSuite SuiteCloud ecosystem, users are assured a stable, integrated, and seamless experience within the NetSuite application. &#8220;Endicia is excited to partner with NetSuite to bring our comprehensive Internet Postage solution to customers,&#8221; said Amine Khechfe, general manager for Endicia. &#8220;NetSuite has integrated several Endicia features, such as e-refund request capability, SCAN forms and package status, to help to maximize the benefits of the U.S. Postal Service for users.&#8221;</p>
<p>NetSuite&#8217;s USPS shipping integration offers retailers, Ecommerce operators, distributors, and wholesaler’s instant access to all key USPS services, including price quotes, shipping label generation, package tracking numbers and full customs documentation — saving time on manual lookups and tedious pen-and-paper form completion. NetSuite customer records can be instantly confirmed against the USPS database of valid addresses. Behind the scenes, the NetSuite solution automatically ties USPS tracking and Delivery Confirmation ™ numbers to sales orders, invoices, and customer records, providing visibility into the shipment process, enabling users to examine a customer&#8217;s comprehensive purchase history, right down to the delivery date. Through existing shipping solutions with UPS and FedEx, NetSuite merchants have already shipped 2.5 million packages through the NetSuite integrated carrier solution.</p>
<p>&#8220;The addition of USPS to the NetSuite cloud shows the direction in which corporate America is moving in the 21 st century — towards cloud computing,&#8221; said Mini Peiris, vice president of Product Marketing at NetSuite. &#8220;Our partnership shows that the NetSuite SuiteCloud development platform has the power to enable more and more companies to embrace cloud-based applications for areas they may not have thought of before, such as shipping via the postal service.&#8221;</p>
<p>NetSuite is establishing itself as the clear choice for many successful and growing companies as the cloud computing leader, and it cements its position as a premiere provider of enterprise computing solutions. Recently ranked one of the top 10 Financial Management System vendors in North America by Gartner Dataquest — and the fastest-growing in that elite group — NetSuite is leading the way in providing companies with a cost-effective and highly efficient alternative to on-premise applications. Unlike on-premise software vendors, NetSuite has a modern cloud-based code base to maintain and innovate — so NetSuite customers get all the benefits of a highly focused R&#038;D effort designed to help them leverage and grow their investment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Special Promotion for Alternative Energy Companies Provides 50% Off First-Year NetSuite Subscription Fees </p>
<p>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 &#8220;green&#8221; technologies and business models to acquire NetSuite&#8217;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&#8217;s full on-demand business suite, is a key part of NetSuite&#8217;s ongoing effort to enable the &#8220;green economy&#8221; by recognizing and supporting progressive-minded organizations that want to move their key business computing resources to NetSuite&#8217;s energy-efficient cloud computing infrastructure. </p>
<p>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 &#8220;green&#8221; associations are eligible to receive a 50% discount off NetSuite&#8217;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. </p>
<p>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&#8217;s shared SaaS architecture last year saved its customers more than $61 million in energy bills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NetSuite Financials Enables Businesses to Rapidly Move Key Operational Processes from Stone-Age, On-Premise Software to the Industry&#8217;s Leading On-Demand Accounting and ERP System; Add New Applications with a &#8220;Flip of a Switch&#8221;</p>
<p>30% Off First-Year NetSuite License for Customers Switching to NetSuite From Microsoft Great Plains or Any Sage ERP Product</p>
<p>San Mateo, Calif. — May 21, 2009 — NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites for mid-market companies and divisions of large enterprises, today announced NetSuite Financials, a new edition of its leading on-demand accounting and enterprise resource planning ( ERP) software. NetSuite Financials gives businesses access to NetSuite&#8217;s award-winning on-demand financial and accounting functionality in a modularized format that provides the highest degree of flexibility and value as they seek to lower operating costs and eliminate capital expenditures by moving key business processes to the Cloud. For a limited time, NetSuite Financials is available at a 30% discount from the list price for any company switching to NetSuite from Microsoft Great Plains or any Sage ERP product.</p>
<p>NetSuite Financials is especially designed for companies eager to trade their current legacy, on-premise accounting systems for NetSuite&#8217;s modern, software as a service (SaaS)-based design, which leads the industry in offering all the major cost-saving and operational efficiency benefits associated with cloud computing. NetSuite Financials, built on NetSuite&#8217;s unique integrated on-demand platform, enables companies to accelerate the move to cloud computing by starting with the migration of their most important financial and ERP processes. These companies can then easily add customer relationship management (CRM), Ecommerce or deeper ERP functionality as their operational needs change, a move NetSuite&#8217;s integrated suite architecture makes as simple as &#8220;flipping a switch.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because of our unique, integrated suite architecture, NetSuite is the only on-demand business application vendor that can offer businesses tremendous costs savings and overall value whether they implement our full suite to run their entire business, or start with NetSuite Financials and add other applications and functionality as their needs require,&#8221; said Mini Peiris, Vice President of Product Marketing at NetSuite. &#8220;The suite approach eliminates the high costs and complexity associated with integrating applications from multiple vendors. Even in the cloud, integration complexity is an issue that customers will have to address if their core applications were not initially designed to work together. Because we can provision new NetSuite functionality over the web, NetSuite customers can easily extend their investment with new applications and capabilities by sending an email, or making a phone call to the account representative.&#8221;<br />
<span id="more-385"></span></p>
<p><strong>Key Features and Functions</strong><br />
NetSuite Financials supports the key back-office operations and business processes of an organization. While other accounting software products deliver a few key workflows at best, NetSuite Financials is a comprehensive financial management and ERP suite that includes:<br />
<strong> Financial Management:</strong> Comprehensive tools that allow a business to control all its financial data and processes, including: general ledger / accounts receivable / accounts payable, budget management, multi-currency transactions and reporting, revenue recognition, recurring revenue management, allocations and financial reporting.</p>
<p><strong>Order Management: </strong>The key link between the sales organization, financial management and order fulfillment, NetSuite Financials streamlines the order-to-cash business process, minimizing paperwork for the finance and sales teams, increasing accuracy of orders and ensuring that customers get deliveries on time, boosting customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty.<br />
<strong>Inventory and Supply Chain: </strong>A complete set of inventory management, manufacturing and procure-to-pay process management features that give a business control of supply chain activities across the organization and beyond with partners, vendors and customers.</p>
<p><strong>Billing Process Management: </strong>NetSuite Financials&#8217; built-in flexibility and sophisticated billing logic lets companies tailor customer billing processes to their specific business needs. With NetSuite Financials, a business can bill customers based on complex criteria such as usage; bill one time or on a recurring basis; manage different payment terms — monthly, quarterly or annually; bill in advance, in arrears or pro-rate partial months. In addition, customer self-service capabilities provide faster service and increase customer satisfaction, turning billing into a competitive asset.<br />
<strong>Revenue Recognition: </strong>Complex revenue management capabilities, closely coupled with billing and driven directly from the order, ensure companies can handle changing revenue recognition policies—or even recognize revenue over the term of the contract if necessary—eliminating the risks that come with spreadsheet-based processes or immature financial systems.<br />
<strong>Services Resource Planning (SRP):</strong> Specifically designed for the demanding and global needs of enterprise-class services organizations, NetSuite Financials delivers the key capabilities needed to integrate the services project lifecycle into one seamless workflow — from marketing and sales to project management, services delivery, billing, revenue management and driving repeat business.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Human Capital Management (HCM): </strong>NetSuite Financials give organizations powerful employee resource management tools for streamlining payroll operations, employee compensation, as well as self-service capabilities to enable collaboration and reduce administrative overhead.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Business Intelligence and Analytics: </strong>NetSuite Financials includes SuiteAnalytics for built-in, real-time business intelligence that drives smarter, faster decision-making. No data warehouse or expensive data analysts are needed thanks to embedded role-based dashboards which enable employees at all levels of the company to turn data into knowledge with pre-built key performance indicators, trend graphs, scorecards, graphical report snapshots and more.</p>
