IDC MarketScape names NetSuite a leader in the Digital Commerce Applications market

Industry Recognition Builds on Strong Momentum for NetSuite's SuiteCommerce Cloud-Based Platform for B2C and B2B Commerce

SAN MATEO, Calif.—August 6, 2014—NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced that its SuiteCommerce platform has been named a "Leader" by the research and analyst firm IDC in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Commerce Applications 2014 Vendor Assessment (doc #249597, June 2014).

The report assesses vendors in the digital commerce applications market, which IDC predicts will grow at an 18.8 percent compound annual growth rate for the period 2013-17, to reach $4.1 billion worldwide. Being named a leader by the IDC MarketScape is the second high-profile industry recognition for NetSuite's cloud-based omnichannel commerce solution in the past several months. In June, SuiteCommerce received the 2014 CODiE Award for Best Commerce Solution from the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).

"NetSuite views commerce as a core business component of an Organisation rather than a standalone sales channel and has developed SuiteCommerce as a tightly integrated piece of its overall ERP for financials and other software," according to the IDC MarketScape.

NetSuite SuiteCommerce enables retailers, manufacturers and distributors to seamlessly connect every step of a multi-channel, multi-location business—from ecommerce, POS and order management to merchandising, marketing, inventory, financials and customer service. Featuring an advanced web store that allows the creation of uniquely branded and personalised shopping experiences optimised for multiple devices, SuiteCommerce empowers businesses to run across multiple touchpoints—web, brick-and-mortar stores, mobile—all from a single, unified cloud-based commerce platform that provides unprecedented visibility into a business and its customers. SuiteCommerce powers thousands of websites around the globe for such leading companies as Williams-Sonoma, Ibex Outdoor Clothing, Magellan GPS, RST Brands, EndoChoice and others.

"Being named a leader in the IDC MarketScape is a tremendous validation of our commitment and focus to deliver the world's best commerce platform, fully integrated with all back and front-end systems to enable seamless and relevant cross-channel experiences," said Andy Lloyd, GM, Commerce Products for NetSuite. "This recognition aligns with our strong momentum among B2C and B2B merchants turning to SuiteCommerce as a catalyst for omnichannel growth, mobile-optimised experiences and stronger, more profitable customer relationships."
