Built for NetSuite Overview
Perhaps you have seen it on our website or on other software platforms, but what does “Built for NetSuite” really mean? Built for NetSuite, or “BFN” for short is a program developed by Oracle NetSuite. It encourages software developers and solution providers to build applications that connect directly with the NetSuite platform. This “SuiteCloud Developer Network,” includes a group of vetted solution providers that have the privilege of building and deploying “SuiteApps” (NetSuite add-on applications). You can find these SuiteApps on the NetSuite app store, suiteapp.com.
Applicants are awarded the “BFN Badge” if they can prove that their solution meets a rigorous set of standards set by Oracle NetSuite and serves an important need within the NetSuite ecosystem. According to NetSuite, “The program provides SDN Partners with principles and guidelines for developing SuiteApps in accordance with industry and NetSuite design best practices. It also provides a method for SDN Partners to verify that they have implemented these best practices in building their SuiteApp, and making it available.”
It is also important to note the difference between the types of SuiteApps that exist:
- Native SuiteApps: built directly on the NetSuite platform. These SuiteApps do not have integrations from other data sources.
- Hybrid SuiteApps: built within the NetSuite platform and have external data integrations.
- Integrated SuiteApps: built externally from the NetSuite platform. These SuiteApps integrate data to or from NetSuite.
