Thousands of companies use NetSuite to manage their key business
processes, leveraging its Software as a Service (SaaS) design to access
invoicing, customer records, inventory, and financial reporting from any
Internet-enabled computer. Now, for the first time, iPhone and iPod touch
users can access NetSuite functionality using a rich interface designed to
run natively on iPhone and iPod touch, adding to the anytime, anywhere
features already offered by NetSuite's cloud computing platform.
Additionally, if a company has implemented custom fields, custom records,
role-based security or custom dashboard elements in their NetSuite account,
they will all be seamlessly reflected in the NetSuite app.

Any NetSuite user on the go can appreciate real-time access to their
NetSuite calendar and task lists, including the ability to accept or decline
events and mark tasks complete. Sales representatives can benefit from access
to leads and opportunities, the ability to view customers and contacts, and
to review quotes and orders. Field service users can inquire about customer
history, browse associated cases, and see all issues filed by a customer.
Executives can browse financial trends, watch dashboards in real-time, and
drill into Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as well as generate report
snapshots and Scorecards.

"This is a great release by NetSuite," said Elliott Rabin, President,
Ridout Plastics Co. Inc. (www.eplastics.com), a plastics manufacturer based
in San Diego, CA since 1914. "Access is very fast overall, and trend graphs
are much faster than through a browser. From a CEO view, I can see my KPIs
and can get top 10 information quickly - by sales, customers, sales reps,
etc. Like in a browser, the app lets me find a customer quickly through
searching - and I'm one who loves 'recent records' for quick access to
information. The iPhone application adds tremendous value to my NetSuite
experience."

Mobile business functionality enabled by NetSuite includes:

    - NetSuite Dashboards including KPIs, report snapshots, trend
      graphs, scorecards, reminders, and recent records. The dashboards are
      interactive, allowing users to drill down and explore trends with the
      touch of a finger.
    - NetSuite Calendar with support for accepting or declining events
      and marking tasks complete.
    - Lead, Prospect & Customer records tailored to mobile sales, field
      service and executive leadership, including access to associated
      contacts, marketing campaigns, opportunities, quotes, orders, purchase
      history, financial history, cases, and issues.
    - Productivity tools that leverage native capabilities of the
      device, such as click-to-call from any NetSuite record containing a 
      phone number, click-to-email from any NetSuite record containing an 
      e-mail address, and click-to-map (via Google Maps) from any NetSuite 
      record containing a physical address.
