COASTAL SOFTWARE & CONSULTING, INC.
JOINS NETSUITE'S SUITEFLEX DEVELOPER PROGRAM
Leveraging the SuiteFlex Development Platform, Coastal Software & Consulting Develops Industry Specific Software Application to Meet the ADP Payroll Integration Needs of Businesses Using NetSuite
SAN MATEO, Calif. and VANCOUVER, Wash. - November 28, 2007 - Coastal Software & Consulting, Inc. today announced that it has become a partner of NetSuite's SuiteFlex Developer Program. Coastal has extended NetSuite's One System Architecture with new capabilities to meet the needs of businesses that require ADP payroll integration and transaction management using NetSuite data. The SuiteFlex Development platform allows third-party applications to integrate transaction data - orders, inventory, invoices and shipments - with their applications, and enable customers and third-party developers to build new workflows and applications that look and operate as if NetSuite's own developers wrote them.
Because NetSuite holds critical business data of a company - orders, invoices, Web site transactions, shipping records, time tracking and payroll data - the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex provide key tools for managing the company's business. For example, by using Coastal's PTEBridge for NetSuite, companies can update their NetSuite general ledger automatically using time entry and payroll data they have already entered into ADP. PTEBridge is based on Coastal's Payroll Time Export™ technology, which also allows companies to report on the details of their payroll checks, synchronize employee setup data, and import EZ Labor Manager™ data in NetSuite, eliminating the need to enter active labor and time entry data in multiple applications.
Based in Vancouver, Washington, Coastal Software & Consulting, Inc. provides solutions for businesses that want to streamline their payroll and general accounting processes by intelligently "bridging" payroll, time entry, and general ledger data across multiple systems, including NetSuite and ADP. Using products such as PTEBridge (www.ptebridge.com), Coastal's customers can reliably transfer data between their payroll and accounting applications, allowing employee data synchronization, electronic disbursement, reduced human error, easier bank account reconciliation, and improved efficiency overall.
"Our products and services are designed for easy integration with your existing payroll and accounting software assets," said Deryk Marien, Coastal Software President and CEO. "We provide the 'bridge' that's needed between your systems so that your data is accurate and useful without having to enter it multiple times."
About SuiteFlex and NetSuite's SuiteFlex Developer Program
SuiteFlex is an application development platform that enables the creation of third-party vertical applications within NetSuite, as well as business process customization for any end-user company. SuiteFlex includes several industry technology advances and innovations including additions to SuiteScript - which allows for on-demand programming using only a web browser on a device with Internet access. As a part of SuiteScript, NetSuite introduced Suitelets and SuiteScript UI Objects, allowing customers and third-party developers to build new workflows and applications that can look and operate as if NetSuite's own developers wrote them. In addition, SuiteFlex introduces a new concept for the Software as a Service market - "Service as Software," SuiteBundler - to deliver new integrated vertical solutions by packaging their Suitelets and other extensions with NetSuite's core ERP/CRM/Ecommerce application. SuiteBundler enables solution providers to embed their industry-best practices, knowledge and applications - traditionally delivered as one-off services - into the actual NetSuite application for verticals in a repeatable fashion.
NetSuite's SuiteFlex Developer Program was established to help solution providers achieve success in vertical markets by bringing them the following:
" Template development account with extensive SuiteFlex customization, development and integration capabilities and access to the entire NetSuite suite of applications. Developers can create and test their customizations, applications and integrations in this account and use it as a template for a repeatable solution they can deploy to multiple customers.
" Online product and technical documentation and online product training.
" Phone and email technical support.
" Participation in the SuiteFlex developer forum.
" Eligibility to join NetSuite's Referral Program.
" Ability to apply for inclusion in the SuiteFlex Solutions directory.
