NetSuite, Google Apps Integrate For Improved Cloud Productivity

NetSuite Inc., the provider of financials / ERP software suites, has announced deeper integration with Google Apps and the Google Apps Marketplace. This includes contextual integration between the main components of NetSuite and both Gmail and Google Calendar, offering improved productivity in the cloud. In addition, Google Calendar and the calendar in NetSuite OpenAir, the cloud professional services automation (PSA) and services resource planning (SRP) solution, are now fully synchronised.
Working in conjunction with SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN) partner Celigo, NetSuite has unveiled fully contextual integration with many components of Google Apps. The new email integration enables real-time access and updates to relevant customers and transactional NetSuite data in Gmail, as well as the capability to collaborate among teams on documents created with Google Docs within the NetSuite environment.

“Seamless access to the power of NetSuite and Google Apps together means more real-time collaboration and visibility for every stakeholder working on an opportunity, transaction, or project,” said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. “By strengthening our ties with Google’s cloud and integrating with Google Apps, NetSuite has made it even easier for businesses to do business at Internet speed.”

In addition to close-knit integration with Google Apps, NetSuite has unveiled bidirectional synchronisation between Google Calendar and the NetSuite OpenAir calendar. This app allows OpenAir events such as bookings and task assignments to be exported in real-time from NetSuite OpenAir to Google Calendars for individual users. The Google Calendar integration is available free to all NetSuite OpenAir users with Google Apps accounts.

“We are pleased to see NetSuite expand its presence in the Google Apps Marketplace,” said Dave Girouard, President of Google Enterprise. “As a company built for the cloud, NetSuite is helping IT administrators leverage the benefits of cloud computing and extend Google Apps to more of their business needs.”
