How Netsuite can help with Modernization

NetSuite Suitescript 2.x has a modular architecture where all SuiteScript 2.x APIs are organized into a series of standard modules.   The modular architecture enables improved performance and reduced code development time.  The high-level characteristics of Suitescript 2.x are described below:

• Modularity - This enables building a module instead of a function, which helps scale in code and is easy to maintain.
• Object Oriented Programming - With the Object Oriented Principles (OOP) concept, enabled to build modular approach in scripting language. The scripts are cleaner and more structured. 
• Asynchronous processing - The use of new features like Promises and Async/Await provides a structured framework to process large volumes of records
• Automatic dependency management - Modular loads the dependency of the module along with dependencies of those dependencies automatically.  This is done recursively until all necessary components are loaded. This has enabled developers to concentrate on logic instead of focusing on dependencies and load order.
• Third-party API support - NetSuite Suitescript 2.x supports standard Java scripting, enabling the integration with third-party API quickly.
• Ease of Upgrade - Without a significant change in code, it is easy to upgrade to the new version

Brief about some of the below exclusive features are added as part of Suite Script

• SFTP File Transfer API - Files can be transferred between NetSuite and an external SFTP server over a secure connection.  NetSuite supports the following authentication methods:   GUID, DSA, ECDCA, or RSA.
• Cache API - Loads data in cache, making it available for multiple functions and avoiding having multiple scripts load the same data, improving overall performance.
• Search Pagination API - Enables the page through search results, increases the significant performance of search results, and efficiently traverses the search result data.
• Flat File Streaming API - Enables streaming large CSVs and modifying the content in memory at the line level. 
• Enhanced  Support for HTTP Content-Type Headers - All HTTP Content type is supported for Client request and Server response headers

How organizations are benefiting from SuitScript 2.x

With the adoption of  NetSuite SuiteScript 2.x, organizations can achieve optimal performance with their applications. Since this is modular scripting, it is easy to scale and can enhance applications with new features. The team can focus on core business functionality rather than maintenance of the application. This enables the customer to increase efficiency in the operation and reduce the cost.

One of the leading American cloud companies that sell software for data centers and hybrid multi-cloud deployments used legacy scripting, and they moved to NetSuite SuitScript 2.0. With the modernization of their application, they could add additional functionality, automate some of the processes, and have better performance. Since the code was modularised, it was easy for them to scale further to add new features. This has helped to reduce their maintenance cost.
