With no integration software to purchase, install, or maintain, customers can integrate NetSuite and their existing business systems in days, streamlining front-office CRM and back-office ERP as well as ecommerce capabilities.

"We evaluated several integration solution partners to complement our application suite," said Mini Peiris, NetSuite's vice president of product marketing. "Given the growing number of NS-BOS vertical solutions, as well as the increasing sophistication of our customer base, we wanted to provide our customers and partners options on how to connect to specific vertical and legacy systems.

The Cast Iron Integration Solution for NetSuite provides built-in connectivity to migrate data into NetSuite and also to synchronize valuable data in real-time between NetSuite and enterprise systems. Consistent and accurate data facilitates increased productivity across all channels and touch-points. Integration projects are accelerated because the need for software coding is eliminated.
