Fronde will deliver NetSuite's full suite of cloud-based business management software solutions to businesses and government in New Zealand initially, with the intent to expand to its Australian customer base in the future.

NetSuite delivers the business benefits that Fronde's clients are looking for: advanced functionality, reduced operational IT costs and risks, rapid deployment, speed, and the agility to launch new business operations and subsidiaries quickly, with a faster time to market than on-premise software solutions.

"We are delighted to bring NetSuite's leading solutions to our clients in the New Zealand market, which allow executives to focus on their business, not on their technology."
