Industry leading provider of cloud business management software becomes the latest CSP to join the industry body.

The Cloud Industry Forum (CIF), the industry body whose aim is to raise standards and improve transparency in the cloud sector, has announced that NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry’s leading provider of cloud-based financials /ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, has become its latest member. In joining the CIF, NetSuite plans to help educate and inform end-users on cloud best practices and industry trends in the UK and the EMEA region.


Pete Daffern, President of EMEA and EVP of Verticals at NetSuite, commented: “We’re pleased to announce that NetSuite has become a member of The Cloud Industry Forum. As one of the premier voices of the cloud computing industry in the UK, CIF works hard to improve end-user understanding of the cloud and raise standards in the industry. As such, it’s an organisation that we are very pleased to be associated with. At NetSuite we look forward to working closely with CIF and its members, towards a shared goal of building a trusted, transparent and fully sustainable industry.”

But concerns about cloud services remain, namely relating to data privacy and security, and it’s important that the industry works together to inspire trust in cloud services and address these concerns. NetSuite’s obvious commitment to its customers, professionalism and services make them a prime candidate for CIF membership, and we would like to take this opportunity to welcome them on board.”
