Over 40,000 organizations of every size are using NetSuite, and that number continues to grow. But beyond those companies, non-profits or businesses, a growing number of applications and tools are out there in the digital world, integrating with NetSuite, being hosted on NetSuite, or being developed specifically for use for NetSuite customers.
So why are software developers so in love with NetSuite?
We know why.
When it comes to implementing NetSuite in businesses, and working with organizational needs to streamline processes, NetSuite already does so much. NetSuite offers customizable dashboards with KPI’s (key performance indicators) available in real time. It makes back office actions seamlessly streamline with forward facing actions such as ECommerce, sales, or inventory. It allows organizations to customize, with easy templates and user friendly click-enabled features that even those without coding skills can quickly learn to do.
With so much already within the NetSuite universe, it makes it possible for a developer to just point users in the right direction, help uncover what is already there, or create very simple changes to streamline function.
People who get into development tend to love what they do, but it’s also okay when a platform does the heavy lifting and you don’t need to create so much from scratch.
When it does come time to custom-create functions, tools or reports within NetSuite, NetSuite has created an environment in which developers like to operate. In simple, non-developer terms, NetSuite allows:
Given these and other features, developers can “toy” with confidence, getting the digital world to cooperate with client needs, before launching any new feature, but in record time (100 days or less to launch).
Corporate “secrets” and “espionage” aren’t just Hollywood fodder--many businesses, companies, and visionaries struggle with issues of copyright, theft, and intellectual property. So it’s not unusual for a computing company or software developer to feel protective of their code.
NetSuite, however, is completely open source. Developers have the source code of everything in the platform. Not only does Oracle make their code available, they encourage the creation of apps, walking developers through the process.
Thanks to the decoupled coding environment, the automation of processes (via their SuiteScript product), and the building tools for developers and customers alike, NetSuite is designed to become a one-of-a-kind experience for each organization, at a fraction of the cost of having something “developed from scratch” the way that custom computing solutions worked historically (or pieced together from all kinds of software solutions and manually re-entered between those programs, as many organizations did).
