NetSuite SuiteCloud To Enable Running Of Core Operations In Cloud

NetSuite, a vendor of on-demand business management software suites for mid-market enterprises and divisions of large companies, has announced the SuiteCloud Ecosystem, an offering of on-demand products, development tools and services designed to help customers and commercial software developers take advantage of the economic benefits of cloud computing.

Based on NetSuite SaaS ERP Suite, SuiteCloud enables customers to run their core business operations in the cloud, and software developers to target new markets quickly with newly created mission-critical business applications built on top of mature business processes.

SuiteCloud includes SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN), a developer programme for Independent Software Developers (ISVs), and SuiteApp.com, a single-source online marketplace where ISVs, customers and solution providers can find applications to meet specific business-process or industry-specific needs.

“Providers like Amazon and Google have generated much of the PaaS buzz to date, but SaaS vendors, like NetSuite, have a unique advantage in the battle for customers and partners–they have an ‘installed’ base,” said Ian Finley, a senior analyst for AMR. “A company that already has NetSuite ERP should put SuiteCloud on their short list for PaaS providers. SuiteCloud’s NS-BOS has a built-in integration advantage over competitors. Independent software vendors and systems integrators looking to satisfy a niche market’s ERP needs should consider joining the NetSuite Cloud. NetSuite ERP provides an application foundation that pure platform providers lack; and, most importantly, a pool of customers already committed to NetSuite.” (Source: AMR Research, ‘NetSuite Wants You On Their Cloud’)
