IDC MarketScape Names NetSuite A Leader In The Digital Commerce Applications Market

SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced that its SuiteCommerce platform has been named a "Leader" by the research and analyst firm IDC in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Commerce Applications 2014 Vendor Assessment (doc #249597, June 2014).

The report assesses vendors in the digital commerce applications market, which IDC predicts will grow at an 18.8 percent compound annual growth rate for the period 2013-17, to reach $4.1 billion worldwide. Being named a leader by the IDC MarketScape is the second high-profile industry recognition for NetSuite's cloud-based omnichannel commerce solution in the past several months. In June, SuiteCommerce received the 2014 CODiE Award for Best Commerce Solution from the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).

"NetSuite views commerce as a core business component of an organization rather than a standalone sales channel and has developed SuiteCommerce as a tightly integrated piece of its overall ERP for financials and other software," according to the IDC MarketScape.

NetSuite SuiteCommerce enables retailers, manufacturers and distributors to seamlessly connect every step of a multi-channel, multi-location business—from ecommerce, POS and order management to merchandising, marketing, inventory, financials and customer service. Featuring an advanced web store that allows the creation of uniquely branded and personalized shopping experiences optimized for multiple devices, SuiteCommerce empowers businesses to run across multiple touchpoints—web, brick-and-mortar stores, mobile—all from a single, unified cloud-based commerce platform that provides unprecedented visibility into a business and its customers. SuiteCommerce powers thousands of websites around the globe for such leading companies as Williams-Sonoma, Ibex Outdoor Clothing, Magellan GPS, RST Brands, EndoChoice and others.
