Explore's CloudConnect(TM) platform continues to be NetSuite's most flexible
and proven SuiteCloud solution for integration in the cloud.

BELLEVUE, Wash., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Explore Consulting, the leading
NetSuite Solution Provider and leader in on-demand technologies, announced
today the launch of their NetSuite Connector for CNET ChannelOnline. This
latest addition to Explore's CloudConnect(TM) integration platform provides
pre-built connectivity to allow for seamless automated data exchange between
NetSuite and ChannelOnline.

ChannelOnline is a sales-cycle automation solution that's designed to give
small to medium-size computer hardware and software resellers all of the
operational advantages of their large competitors - empowering them to
maximize margins, increase revenues, as well as increase customer
satisfaction. ChannelOnline provides resellers with a web-based service that
automates key business processes and transactions, giving resellers total
management control over the complete sales cycle.

NetSuite customers can now leverage the robust functionality of
ChannelOnline's Quoting functionality without all of the duplicate data entry
and manual order management. Quotes completed in ChannelOnline are
automatically sent to NetSuite to be fulfilled and billed, while order updates
are sent back to ChannelOnline to streamline their shipping process and reduce
the time it takes to bill and collect payments. Both credit cards and
invoicing on terms are supported within NetSuite.  Notifications are
automatically sent to sales representatives as order status changes, which
allows them to be more proactive in their client communications with regards
to shipping information, shipment accuracy and billing.

"With CloudConnect, you don't just get a product. You get a complete
integration solution with white glove service," said Steve Jones, CEO of
Explore Consulting. "The NetSuite Connector for CNET ChannelOnline represents
our commitment to not only providing leading integration solutions in the
cloud, but facilitating specific business requirements beyond simply passing
data from system to system."

Explore has successfully deployed the NetSuite Connector for CNET
ChannelOnline for GHA Technologies, a nationally expanding network, computer
reseller and systems integrator who currently utilizes Explore's
CloudConnect(TM) integration platform. "Explore's subject matter expertise
with NetSuite is unmatched and their entire Professional Services team has
always acted with a sense of urgency and been committed when service and
delivery count," said George Hertzberg, President and Founder of GHA
Technologies. The results of connecting CNET and NetSuite with
CloudConnect(TM) include tripling annual sales from $29 million to $75 million
without increasing staff, eliminating the need to hire additional bookkeepers
saving at least $180,000 annually, and greater visibility into accounts
receivable allowing enforcement of "strict net 30" policies.
