SuiteBundler Powers NetSuite for Media / Publishing

Typically media/publishing companies of all sizes -- regardless of
whether it is online media, print media, or others -- in order to succeed and
stay competitive, all need a software solution that is tailored to and can
address their specific business needs. NetSuite's new offering for
Media/Publishing delivers a host of SuiteBundles targeting each factor that
plays a role in the success of any media/publishing company, including:

-- Insertion Order SuiteBundle Simplifies Complex Advertisement Order
       Management -- Media and publishing companies have found it difficult 
       to simplify the complexities of 'advertising order management.' For
       example, when a call comes in to place an ad in the publication – 
       say, two different page locations in six different magazine issues, 
       typical order management systems have to create six line items 
       separately. NetSuite for Media/Publishing streamlines this workflow so 
       they can be entered as one item being purchased and automatically 
       split them out as needed for financial compliance and effective mining 
       of purchase data after-the-fact.

    -- Advertiser Billing SuiteBundle Simplifies Complex Invoicing and
       Collections -- Complex advertiser invoicing and collections process 
       are simplified, in addition to handling billing by CPM (cost per 
       thousand), as well as integration with advertising servers for 
       synchronization of impression and verification data. Invoices are also 
       auto-generated to bill advertisers as each 'campaign' is complete on 
       the order.

    -- Campaign ID Management SuiteBundle Provides Better Tracking --
       Individual display ads or campaigns are monitored with NetSuite for
       Media/Publishing, providing 'Ad Server ID' tracking, and offering
       advanced integration tools to synchronize campaign and insertion order
       numbering.

    -- Business Intelligence SuiteBundle Delivers Accurate and Real-Time
       Reporting -- From top-level executive to ad account managers, the
       entire Media/Publishing organization is further empowered with
       Dashboards and reporting tailored for Insertion Order forecast and
       bookings, campaign status and impressions reporting, pending
       advertisement fulfillments and run sheets.
