(PRLEAP.COM) SAN MATEO, Calif. and ALPHARETTA, Georgia – Emerald Software Group, LLC has announced that it has become a partner of NetSuite’s SuiteFlex Developer Program. Emerald Software Group has extended NetSuite’s One System Architecture with new capabilities to meet the Human Resources needs of businesses using NetSuite. The SuiteFlex Development platform goes beyond other on-demand development environments by being the first to allow third party applications to integrate rich 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 the most important data of a company – orders, invoices, website transactions, shipping records, time tracking, and payroll data – the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex are much more powerful and business critical. For example, with Emerald Software Group’s AllegroHR your new hire process can be completely automated—reducing data errors and costs and eliminating the paperwork. AllegroHR can then take that information and integrate directly with NetSuite’s Employee Resource Management solution.

Emerald Software Group develops highly scalable, configurable process management software. “This new partnership is a perfect fit for both companies,” says Chuck Ros, company President. “We are both focused on high-value, high-return solutions in an on-demand service model.” Product offerings include business process automation/management, distributed scan, and document storage. Emerald Software Group’s latest product offering, AllegroHR, makes truly paperless processes in Human Resources possible. This online, on-demand solution gives managers and new hires a better, more consistent view of what is going on in the new hire process and creates a much faster employee time-to-productivity by allowing more control, visibility, and accountability throughout the process.

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 end-to-end business process customization for any end-user company. SuiteFlex includes several industry "first and only" breakthroughs including additions to SuiteScript — the world’s first on-demand programming language. 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 look and operate as if NetSuite’s own developers wrote them. In addition, SuiteFlex introduces a dramatic 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. SuiteBundle 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 is established to help solution providers achieve success in vertical markets by bringing them the following:

• Template development account with complete 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.
