BOSTON, February 19 /PRNewswire/ --

- B2BGateway's New Client Portal Allows NetSuite Users to Easily Manage 
and Connect to Any Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Trading Partners

B2BGateway, a product of Shannon Systems LLC, and an integration solution
partner of NetSuite Inc. since 2001, today announced the release of the
B2BGateway client portal. NetSuite Inc. is a leading vendor of on-demand,
integrated business management software suites that include Accounting /
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
and Ecommerce software for small and midsized businesses and divisions of
large companies. With the B2BGateway client portal, NetSuite users are now
able to utilize the client portal to initiate new trading partner
relationships, review data transmitted, schedule transaction imports/exports
and to cross reference data.

B2BGateway has provided NetSuite users with EDI connectivity in North
America to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, General Motors and over 700 other
organizations. In the European Union, NetSuite users use B2BGateway to
connect to ASDA, Argos, Tesco, Carrefour, and many others. Any NetSuite user
who intends to sell products to these large organizations is required to use
EDI.

Utilizing the SuiteTalk Web services functionality that is provided with
NetSuite's SuiteFlex platform for business process customization, integration
and development, the newly released client portal takes a fully automated
process and gives the end user much more control over the process. NetSuite
users now have flexibility with the data that is input or extracted from
their system. In the past, input and output data was pre-configured and
fixed. The client portal now allows end users the capability to modify data
prior to import, to review statistical EDI processing data and to review
their transactions.

"The B2BGateway client portal truly empowers the NetSuite user," said
Steven Kohler, Director of Infrastructure Development at B2BGateway. "This
tool uses a combination of NetSuite Web services and B2BGateway connectivity
to control the EDI process. We have also added a request-support feature and
an alerts feature, to provide the end user with more visibility. End-user
reviews have stated that the client portal helps to keep the user better
connected and offers them more control."

Before 1999, when B2BGateway started providing fully managed EDI
solutions, the industry process of receiving electronic purchase orders and
sending electronic invoices could be difficult, costly and prone to errors.
B2BGateway simplified the entire EDI process by connecting to trading
partners through a central hub. The B2BGateway hub connects to all of the
trading partners and connects to the end user. Consequently, all of the data
translation required in EDI takes place in a central location.

"NetSuite has had a very long and successful relationship with
B2BGateway," said Craig West, Director of Channel Sales at NetSuite. "We're
excited that they continue to be committed to developing new and innovative
ways to make the EDI process easier and more practical for our NetSuite
users."
