Gartner Ranks NetSuite As North America's Fastest Growing Financial Management System Vendor Among Top 10

NetSuite's 41 Percent Growth Contrasts Sharply with Performance of On-Premise Vendors NetSuite Only Cloud Vendor Cited

San Mateo, Calif. (PRWEB) July 9, 2009 -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of cloud computing business software suites that provide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Ecommerce software, today announced that it is the fastest growing Financial Management System vendor in North America amongst the top 10 vendors, according to the latest research from Gartner Dataquest (Market Share: ERP Software, North America, 2008). Despite the tough economic environment, and modest growth in the overall ERP market of 3.4 percent, NetSuite posted 41.1 percent growth in 2008 - its performance sharply contrasting with the results of the traditional on-premise vendors.

For the first time, SAP's North American market share actually declined, and only one other vendor managed to achieve double-digit growth. As the only pure Software as a Service (SaaS) ERP provider in the Gartner Dataquest Financial Management System top 10, NetSuite's growth dramatically outpaced the rest of the group, the majority of whom posted sluggish, low single-digit growth at 6 percent or less. These companies include Microsoft, Exact, Lawson, Deltek, Sage, Epicor and Infor.

Gartner's findings indicate what we have always believed, that mission critical financial and business systems will ultimately be run in the Cloud

And in these tough economic times, the combination of powerful cost savings and time-to-value delivered by Cloud Computing will accelerate this movement.

NetSuite's growth provides clear validation that businesses are increasingly turning to SaaS for their business software. Software as a Service is forecast to have a 19.4 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2013, which is more than triple the total market CAGR of 5.2 percent (Source: Gartner Market Trends: Software as a Service, Worldwide, 2008-2013).
