SAN FRANCISCO and SAN MATEO, California, April 17 /PRNewswire/ --

- Leader in Blogging Software Brings Together Paris, San Francisco, and 
Tokyo with NetSuite OneWorld for Single, Worldwide View of its Business and 
Financial Accounting

- Business Software Up and Running Within Six Weeks, Improving Monthly 
Accounting Closing Cycle For Better GAAP Compliance

NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated
business software suites that provide Accounting / ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and Ecommerce functionality
for small and medium-sized businesses and divisions of large companies, today
announced that Six Apart, the world's leading independent blogging software
and services company, has integrated its business operations with NetSuite
OneWorld. NetSuite OneWorld enables Six Apart's TypePad, Movable Type, and
VOX blogging businesses to have one suite of business accounting software,
including financials and revenue recognition, without requiring a large
accounting staff or expensive on-premise business software.

After acquiring a subsidiary in France and creating one in Japan, Six
Apart, a well-known, fast-growing leader in the blogosphere, soon found
itself needing to invoice its customers in euros and yen. The company also
wanted to keep its books of record in one consistent place. QuickBooks
accounting software was unable to accomplish that with different locations
and multiple currencies. In addition, Six Apart's subscription business
needed to recognize revenue on a daily basis, and its complex, unwieldy
amortization spreadsheets were time-consuming.

To overcome these challenges, Six Apart switched its disparate accounting
software systems to NetSuite OneWorld -- an implementation that took only
six weeks. Now, the company's revenue recognition accounting is GAAP
compliant, which allows Six Apart to look further down the road to closing
books and worry-free financial reporting. Most importantly, NetSuite's new
OneWorld capability allows Six Apart to consolidate its three instances of
NetSuite into a single, unified view. This gives Six Apart's Chief Financial
Officer the ability to show financials in local currency (for each individual
entity) as well as the ability to run financial reports in a consolidated,
multi-currency ERP / Accounting software system.

"Now we don't have any extra steps in reporting to our CEO and board, and
I have more insight into how each of my regions is performing," said Tod
Harmon, CFO, Six Apart. "I can respond to an ad hoc question from anyone,
without the need to download a spreadsheet and consolidate the information
myself. NetSuite OneWorld gives us an extensive view of our entire business
operation -- every subsidiary including consolidated accounts receivable and
accounts payable -- from a consolidated standpoint."

NetSuite's SaaS model gives Six Apart's executives the freedom they need
to be able to do business around-the-clock, without being tied to a desk.
They can all access NetSuite anytime, anywhere, and that flexibility works
well given the time differences between San Francisco, Paris and Tokyo.
Company executives can all log in and share the same business and financial
data, and they don't need to manage a virtual private network or any other
complicated IT infrastructure -- they just point their browsers at NetSuite
and log in.

Already, NetSuite OneWorld has helped Six Apart to avoid significant
spending on IT administration costs. With the addition of NetSuite OneWorld,
the company has shaved days off of its monthly accounting closing cycle --
making the company much more efficient and giving executives insight into the
details they need, by channel, customer, product, or region. With the aid of
NetSuite OneWorld, Six Apart can manage the business of an accelerating
international operation with very little headcount resources in its
accounting group. NetSuite has allowed Six Apart to scale without spending a
lot of resources on administration.

"For the small amount we pay each month," said Harmon, "we get a global
financial consolidation system that has all the power and features a company
our size needs, and more."
