Netform

Explanation:
It is a name, brand name. You can find it used in many websites:
netform.org
netform.fr
I don't think there is any particular meaning. I would guess that it was invented to "sound" like the word platform. There is no mention of the word in any IT dictionaries or glossaries that I have consulted.
