netledger, INC. changes name to netsuite, INC.
Success of Unified Mid-Market ERP/CRM/E-Commerce System Drives Name Change
San Mateo, CA and New York, NY - September 18, 2003 - The company formerly known
as NetLedger, Inc. announced today that it will change its corporate name to
NetSuite, Inc. The new name is driven by the success of the company`s NetSuite
integrated ERP/CRM/E-Commerce business application for mid-sized companies. The
NetSuite product was introduced more than a year ago, and today the majority
of the company`s more than 7,000 customers are using the product to run their
business operations. NetSuite, Inc.`s products also include Oracle® Small Business
Suite, an integrated business application for small companies. The Oracle Small
Business Suite name is used under license from Oracle Corporation (Nasdaq: ORCL).
Vision, product delivery, and customer satisfaction have been the hallmarks of
NetSuite for the past five years. Founded in 1998 by Evan Goldberg and three
Oracle colleagues, Goldberg and his seasoned team have successfully built the
first Web-based, completely integrated ERP and CRM suite for small and mid-sized
companies. In 1999 the company delivered NetLedger, a suite of financial management
applications that provided the backbone for future product development. With
this solid foundation, the company then broadened the application not only to
manage back-office and e-commerce applications, but also to manage front-office
sales, support and marketing activities. Since the introduction of the NetSuite
CRM/ERP product, the company has grown five-fold in revenues and has surpassed
the 7,000-customer milestone, making NetSuite, Inc. the largest application service
provider for mid-sized companies.
“Our name change from NetLedger to NetSuite is a natural evolution of the company,”
said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. “While our financial applications are a key
product differentiator, we are now better known for helping companies automate
their end-to-end business processes. The vision of NetSuite to enable companies
to manage their operations in a single, integrated solution permeates everything
we do, and our name reflects that vision.”
Delivered as an online service, NetSuite enables companies to manage all key
business processes in a single system. Delivered as a Web-based service, there
is no hardware to procure, no large, up-front license fee, no maintenance fees
associated with hardware or software, and no complex set-ups.
