NetSuite Inc. is an American cloud-based enterprise software company that provides products and services tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) including accounting and financial management, customer relationship management, inventory management, human capital management, payroll, procurement, project management and e-commerce software. NetSuite was founded in 1998 with headquarters in Austin, Texas. The company is widely seen as the first cloud computing software company, with its founding pre-dating that of Salesforce by about a month. Oracle Corporation acquired NetSuite for approximately US$9.3 billion in November 2016. The Oracle NetSuite ERP gets the nod here for best all-around ERP software because it excels on all fronts and is truly an all-in-one business solution. Its applications run the usual gamut of industries like financial services, consumables, healthcare, and IT, but also include more niche applications like campus bookstores and publishing.
