According to Gartner: "Visionaries are vendors that represent an
innovative, market-leading and forward-thinking or disruptive approach to
e-commerce. However, because of this, they also exhibit a smaller market
share. New entrants with exceptional technology may appear in this quadrant
early, after their general availability release; typically, however, unique
or exceptional technology will emerge in this quadrant after several quarters
of general availability."

"This quadrant is often populated by new entrants that have new
architectures and functionality, or deployment models such as SaaS that
haven't garnered a large portion of the market. However, established
technology providers that offer new functionality that isn't found in any
other provider's offerings also can be in this quadrant."

"Providers that can meet customer's production requirements, and general
availability of at least one year, indicates that they must be more than a
startup with a good idea. Technology providers in this quadrant must
demonstrate customers in production, proving the value of the new
functionality and architecture. Frequently, visionaries will drive leaders
toward new concepts and engineering enhancements."

"We believe that our positioning in the visionaries quadrant by Gartner
confirms that NetSuite demonstrates the future of ecommerce," said Mini
Peiris, VP of Product Marketing at NetSuite. "NetSuite Ecommerce offers
etailers a comprehensive system to run their core business operations rather
than struggle with integrating a shopping cart with multiple systems that
span Web analytics, online marketing, customer self-service, inventory
management, complex pricing, product catalog and shipping integration to get
a complete view. NetSuite allows etailers to focus on serving their shoppers
and leverage new emerging trends in ecommerce rather than worrying about
their systems."

Thousands of companies around the globe have standardized their ecommerce
operations on NetSuite for their core business operations -- from orders and
fulfillment, to inventory and warehouse management, to Google Keyword,
purchase tracking and search engine optimization, to email marketing
campaigns and multi-channel selling. Additionally, NetSuite gives mid-sized
companies a customizable solution for managing complex ecommerce sites for
global organizations with multiple companies, subsidiaries and currencies,
and with multiple websites. NetSuite's depth of advanced capabilities in
business process customization helps larger, more complex businesses meet

offers include unique shopping cart conversion tools -- reporting on what
items were abandoned by each shopper, and sending email marketing campaigns
to those shoppers; innovative up-sell tools (Up-sell Manager); and enhanced
shopping cart flow (PayPal Express Checkout), pictures in cart, displaying
shipping rates prior to checkout, and multi-language capabilities.
