NETSUITE READIES BUSINESSES FOR WHAT'S NEXT AT SUITEWORLD 2017

LAS VEGAS, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SUITEWORLD 2017 -- Oracle NetSuite Global Business Unit (GBU), the industry's leading provider of cloud financials / ERP, HR and omnichannel commerce software suites, has unveiled global expansion initiatives, SuitePeople, SuiteSuccess, Next-Ready ERP, and NetSuite OneWorld for Nordics-headquartered businesses. NetSuite also announced a wide array of innovative and fast growing businesses that have selected the NetSuite platform.

Massive Global Expansion Initiatives

NetSuite announced a massive expansion plan to accelerate its international growth. This expansion shows how NetSuite customers will benefit from Oracle's vast global scale and resources. The expansion initiatives will enable NetSuite to launch more data centers, more field offices and more development centers globally, which will help to bring a leading cloud ERP suite to more organizations around the world.

Adding Oracle's global resources to NetSuite's existing global footprint provides rapid entry and expansion into new markets across three key areas:

Data Centers. Oracle NetSuite Global Business Unit plans to more than double its data center footprint from five data centers globally to 11. NetSuite currently operates three data centers in North America, one in Amsterdam, Netherlands and one in Dublin, Ireland. NetSuite expects to add a fourth North American data center in Chicago. As part of the global expansion plans, NetSuite will leverage existing Oracle data centers in Europe and Asia. In Europe, NetSuite is scheduled to open a data center in Frankfurt, Germany to remedy the lack of modern cloud computing offerings in the country. In Asia Pacific, NetSuite plans to initially launch facilities in Australia and Singapore, followed by Japan and China. The addition of Oracle data centers to NetSuite's operations will provide even greater security, redundancy, performance and scalability for new and existing customers across the globe.

Field Offices. NetSuite expects to double its global presence, expanding from offices in 10 countries to 23 spread across the globe. The addition of Oracle's field offices significantly increases NetSuite's ability to meet the rising demand for cloud ERP around the world. NetSuite is establishing a new presence in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, France, Germany, Sweden, Dubai, China, India, Malaysia and New Zealand. In addition, NetSuite is expanding headcount in existing field offices by over 50 percent to provide better resources for customer demand.

Development Centers. Oracle NetSuite Global Business Unit is leveraging existing Oracle development centers across India, China and Japan. The development centers will be able to accelerate the development of international, regional and local features and functionality within NetSuite OneWorld.

Unlike legacy HRIS solutions, SuitePeople helps make people information actionable throughout the organization from a single suite.
