EBS-RAD(TM) LLC Provides Maritime Industry Verticals On NetSuite's ERP/CRM Platform

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- EBS-RAD(TM) LLC today announced that it has extended NetSuite's(R) One System Architecture from NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N) with new capabilities to help meet the needs of businesses in the maritime industry market. EBS-RAD LLC develops products for its clients, such as Harbour Mastery(R), Inc., which provides services to the Tampa Port Authority. EBS-RAD(TM) LLC has received greater interest from potential customers since becoming a partner of NetSuite's SuiteFlex Developer Program.

NetSuite's SuiteFlex(TM) development platform allows third-party applications to integrate transaction data - orders, invoices, website transactions, shipping records, time tracking, and payroll data - with their applications. Because NetSuite holds critical business data of a company, the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex can provide key tools for managing a company's business. For example, i-Seaports(TM) Management, developed by EBS-RAD(TM) LLC, is one of these applications.

At the opening session of the annual NetSuite Partner Conference in San Francisco, October 23 - 26, 2007, NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson presented i- Seaports(TM) Management as an example of a vertical for the maritime seaports and port authorities management that provides a virtually integrated command and control center for traffic management, security monitoring and communications coordination.

"NetSuite is pleased not only to see what i-Seaports(TM) Management shows can be done with the SuiteFlex solutions on the NetSuite ERP/CRP/Ecommerce platform, but also we are pleased to see a product that can promote security in the seaports of the world," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. "NetSuite does business around the world and encourages secure trade partnerships between companies."

"Seaports and Port Authorities today are under incredible pressure to meet security requirements, improve their communications and information sharing and also protect the environment," said George Walters, President of EBS- RAD(TM) LLC. "Using SuiteBundler(TM) allowed us to build a common application on NetSuite, i-Seaports(TM) Management, which we expect should be attractive to over 8,500 deep-water seaports and 50,000 marinas around the world. Within NetSuite, we created custom dashboards for traffic management, security monitoring, communications coordination, financial control and ecommerce marketing to be used by seaports, their clients and security agencies in any country."

Of particular importance are the security capabilities i-Seaports(TM) Management could build in. When the port clicks on the berth number, it can pop open the webcam to monitor the activity at a berth. All the security aspects of a port can be visually monitored - entrances, warehouses, and critical assets such as oil and gas tanks. Clicking on a trade-partner port can pop-open the Automated Identification System (AIS) tracking ships for that port. NetSuite has the core global capabilities, including telephony, emailing, multi-language and multi-currency, that those seaports and their clients need for their operations and management - and SuiteBundler allows EBS-RAD(TM) to readily deploy i-Seaports cost effectively, in a repeatable manner to all customers.

Pre-sale first looks at i-Seaports(TM) Management have garnered new marketing agreements with firms like Valley Associates of Canada, headed by Mike Martin; and Maritime Directions Management Corporation (www.MaritimeDirections.com) in Miami, headed by Charles A. Towsley, PPM, former Director of both Tampa Port Authority and the Port of Miami.

"I see in i-Seaports a solution that is long overdue for integrating the many tasks port managers are responsible for - security, communications, traffic, billing, accounting and marketing their services," said Towsley who, like Mike Martin, president of Valley Associates, has established a marketing agreement with Harbour Mastery(R) to market i-Seaports(TM) and its companion product, i-Marinas(TM).

"It is also important that the i-Seaports(TM) and i-Marinas(TM) products have addressed the return-on-investment issues that ports and marinas have in moving to an advanced technology by choosing a Software-as-a-Service platform that is secure and hosted and requires no up-front hardware and software investment. By partnering with NetSuite, EBS-RAD is able to assure Harbour Mastery(R) that it can deliver successfully an implementation and ongoing support on a global scale," Towsley added.
