NetSuite Ranked as Leading SFA Solution for Sales Management, Forecasting, Dash boards, Opportunity Management, Activity Management, Customer/Partner Portals, and More
Tops salesforce.com in More than 30 Functional Areas
SAN MATEO, Calif. — February 10, 2005 — NetSuite, Inc., the fastest-growing on-demand software company in North America, today announced top rankings in Forrester Research's just-released study entitled "TechRankings™: Hosted Sales Force Automation (SFA)." NetSuite outscored the competition in the major "Sales Management" category, an impressive achievement given that Siebel's and salesforce.com's offerings are purchased primarily for their sales management capabilities. NetSuite also outranked the competition in the major "Breadth of Offerings" category. Finally, NetSuite bested salesforce.com and Siebel in some of the most important functional areas of SFA including Forecasting, Opportunity Management, Activity Management, Dash boards, Document Management, and Pricing & Products. For information about the rankings, please go to www.netsuite.com/forrestertechrankings.
"We're delighted to receive these leading marks in Forrester Research's in-depth study of hosted SFA software," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. "While NetSuite provides much broader functionality than stand-alone SFA vendors, our leadership in sales management, dash boards, forecasting and opportunity management prove that the best-of-breed SFA application is an integrated suite."
Forrester's Liz Herbert told CRMDaily: "It (NetSuite) still is the best choice for a full solution in the mid-market."
