'Business ByNetSuite' Programme Extended For SAP Customers

NetSuite, a vendor of on-demand, integrated business software suites for mid-market enterprises, businesses and divisions of large companies, has announced the extension of its Business ByNetSuite programme for SAP customers.

The programme targets existing SAP R/3 software customers, who are eager to address expanding business software needs without having to increase their capital investment in SAP. The NetSuite programme guarantees SAP R/3 software customers at least 50 percent off their current annual maintenance and support agreement when they switch to an annual NetSuite subscription.

Originally launched in November 2008, the programme is being extended through the second quarter of 2009, giving SAP customers now up for renewal the opportunity to move to the more cost-effective NetSuite business management system.

NetSuite's announcement comes shortly after SAP's launch of SAP Business Suite 7, an upgrade to its monolithic on-premise legacy application, SAP 6.

Business ByNetSuite enables SAP customers to deploy the complete NetSuite ERP offering at a subsidiary or departmental level as an SAP replacement, or as the top choice for a brand new implementation. In either situation, NetSuite can easily complement a customer's broader SAP investment, and its ability to help companies manage core business operations in a single on-demand business software system can deliver a huge advantage over current SAP division-level deployments in terms of cost savings and overall productivity gains.
