NS-BOS Enables ISVs to Create and Distribute Vertical Business Applications Based on NetSuite

NetSuite Business Operating System (NS-BOS) provides a Software as a Service (SaaS) application development platform for software developers, ISVs and VARs, to create industry specific applications targeting all spectrums of vertical markets.

NS-BOS provides a unique development environment for the creation of business applications that are both created on and complement the power of one system: NetSuite. The NS-BOS platform provides more than access to an underlying infrastructure; it provides access to an award-winning set of business management functionality. A rich set of development and testing tools allow developers to develop new applications and whole vertical solutions using this core NetSuite platform.

The NS-BOS platform consists of:

SaaS Infrastructure

The NS-BOS multi-tenant, always-on architecture removes set-up costs/time and on-going maintenance.
NS-BOS provides world class security and availability with 99.5% uptime guaranteed.
With anytime, anywhere access, NS-BOS is the ideal environment for distributed development and global application business usage.

NetSuite

Just as every business needs a CEO, business applications need a boss. NetSuite is the core business application for NS-BOS, providing business process management and serving as the system of record.
The NetSuite complete suite of accounting/ERP, CRM, and ecommerce eliminates the need for integration between disparate systems.
NetSuite and SuiteFlex Partner industry editions embed best practices from developer and channel partners.

SuiteFlex

NS-BOS provides developers with SuiteFlex, a comprehensive business process customisation and verticalisation environment.
SuiteFlex customisation is simpler than competitive toolkits because it's based on industry standards and emphasises "click not code" system tailoring.
Customisations and extensions to NetSuite migrate seamlessly with each upgrade putting an end to the headaches and heartaches of application development and maintenance — a true breakthrough in application development.

SuiteBundler

NS-BOS empowers application one-to-one and one-to-many distribution with SuiteBundler.
SuiteBundler, the NetSuite Service-as-Software enabler, has revolutionised software by automating reusability of customisations and extensions.
NetSuite's breakthrough SuiteBundler technology allows ISVs, VARs and SIs to productise their industry expertise, create vertical solutions, and distribute them in a repeatable, cost efficient manner.
