NETSUITE LAUNCHES NETSUITE ONEWORLD IN SINGAPORE Clearstate, a Leading Provider in Global Consulting Services for Healthcare, Goes Live on NetSuite OneWorld San Mateo, Calif., and SINGAPORE — September 18, 2008 — NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites for mid-market enterprises and divisions of large companies, today announced the launch of NetSuite OneWorld in Singapore. The event, hosted by Zach Nelson, NetSuite's Chief Executive Officer, took place today at The Arts House in Singapore. At the event, NetSuite also announced that Clearstate (www.clearstate.com), a leading Singapore-based provider of consulting services to manufacturers serving the healthcare industry, has gone live on NetSuite OneWorld. NetSuite OneWorld allows companies to manage their multinational and multi-subsidiary business operations, in real-time around the world. It integrates the key business management functions across the enterprise, from Customer Relationship Management ( CRM) to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Ecommerce. For more information about NetSuite OneWorld, please visit www.netsuite.com.sg. "We expect the introduction of NetSuite OneWorld into Singapore and other regions of Southeast Asia to help fast-growing businesses in these countries achieve global success," said Zach Nelson, NetSuite Chief Executive Officer. "NetSuite OneWorld delivers local control with global visibility, not just across financials but across every aspect of the business — from lead to forecast to order to cash collection. With the growing interest of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications in Singapore and Southeast Asia, the introduction of NetSuite OneWorld should help drive strategic growth for NetSuite in this dynamic Asia Pacific market." NetSuite's opening of its Singapore office in 2005 marked the company's entry into Southeast Asia. Since then, NetSuite's Singapore office has served as the hub for the company's expansion in Southeast Asia, especially in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Due to Singapore's strategic geographic location near some of the world's fastest-growing economies, excellent infrastructure, and supportive government, NetSuite Singapore has experienced exponential sales growth. Springboard Research estimates that Asia-Pacific Software as a Service revenues will grow from US$274 million in 2007 to around US$1.8 billion by 2011. The industry analyst firm Gartner estimates the Asia-Pacific SaaS market is growing twice as fast as the market for traditional on-premises applications. NetSuite OneWorld
NetSuite's native SaaS delivery model enables the OneWorld functionality to be accessed anywhere simply by opening a browser, and eliminates significant IT issues associated with traditional approaches to global business management software. The combination of the new NetSuite OneWorld capabilities and NetSuite's cloud computing delivery platform helps eliminate the cost and technology barriers facing mid-sized companies operating globally or across multiple locations. Prior to NetSuite OneWorld, typically only large companies with the ability and willingness to spend a large sum of money could approach such levels of business integration. Mid-sized companies using traditional applications such as Microsoft Dynamics GP (often referred to as Great Plains) could achieve a low level of business integration, but often could only see limited consolidated financials, which can be of suspect value. Of course, large systems such as SAP or mid-market systems like Microsoft Dynamics GP are not delivered as native Web applications, so any attempt at limited business consolidation using these systems would typically require large expenditures in IT costs and systems management. Additional benefits of NetSuite OneWorld include the following:
Clearstate Goes Live on NetSuite OneWorld "Our priority was to have complete visibility into our firm from day one, and NetSuite OneWorld has made that extremely easy," said Tej Deol, Managing Partner at Clearstate, based in Singapore. "I didn't have to put pieces of a puzzle together in order to handle finance, project management, and human resources. NetSuite allowed us to launch our business on a single, integrated platform."
