• No more settling for a "one size fits all" hosted application solution.
• As a complete system, NetSuite with NetFlex requires NO customization or integration for many things such as invoices, projects, billings that would normally require heavy customization and integration in other CRM systems
• Gain inherent efficiencies of a hosted, on-demand solution and the robust application architecture behind it
• Guaranteed uptime of 99.5% which would normally prove cost-prohibitive
• Leverage the native power of common, shared objects such as Dashboards, Search, Roles and Permissions
• NetFlex custom applications carry forward seamlessly with upgrades

High-End Custom Application Creation without the Headaches
NetSuite addresses a major shortcoming of traditional applications by automatically carrying forward custom applications built within NetSuite with each new release. In addition, inherent efficiencies of hosted, on-demand solutions can be leveraged along with common, shared objects already available in NetSuite.

Most mid-market or enterprise products are highly customizable and extensible—but at a high cost. The custom applications built with other mid-market solutions typically requires significant consulting resources as well as highly skilled database administrators to manage the backend, events and table space, to hone performance, and to implement the custom application. Another considerable constraint is that many of the systems' customizations and integrations must be made via product-specific programming language (ABAP, PeopleTools, etc.).

Customization and extension of these systems is typically complex to install and even more so to upgrade. The bane of custom applications has long been that they require specialized migrates and maintenance, thus making any upgrade an expensive time and resource consuming drudgery. Consequently, companies all too often postpone upgrades as long as possible, or even to make the decision to switch to alternate products or platforms rather than upgrade.

Breakthrough Technology and Inherent On-Demand Efficiencies Overcome the Custom Application Barrier
NetSuite has created breakthrough technology that overcomes the hurdles of custom application creation to focus users on Click Not Code. Database extension capability is point and click enabled, greatly simplifying complex database table additions. Custom code, if needed, is generated in industry standard JavaScript, not a proprietary, product specific code. Integration and extension is via SOAP, standards-based Web Services that can be leveraged via common application development environments such as .NET and Java.

In addition, custom applications built within NetSuite automatically benefit from the robust F100 datacenter behind a hosted, on-demand solution along with the highly scalable and extensible J2EE and Oracle-based application architecture, ensuring that performance and security concerns are alleviated.

These technological advances and efficiencies of on-demand solutions enable companies to have seamless custom application migration handled by NetSuite and eliminate typical time-consuming maintenance nightmares so you can carry forward your advances with the latest capabilities of NetSuite—without cost, headache free.

	Mid-market/Enterprise			NetSuite
	Directly customize tables, event triggers, etc.			Strongly abstracts custom table extensions from the database
	Abstraction of customizations is non-existent or limited (ex: PeopleTools)			Custom code access to NetSuite objects performed through NetSuite APIs
	Migration tools cannot reliably interpret or predict customizations			Inherently aware of Web Services integrations
	Customization straight-jackets maintenance and upgrades			Reliably interpret customizations for seamless configuration & customization migration
