3 Key Takeaways from SuiteWorld17

As you may be aware, NetSuite’s annual conference SuiteWorld took place last week in Las Vegas, NV. There was a new look and feel to this year’s conference with the new Oracle branding on all signage and Jim McGeever replaced Zach Nelson to deliver the main keynote address. It was during this keynote that Mark Hurd, CEO of Oracle, confirmed that oracle would continue to run NetSuite as a global business unit within Oracle and would help the world’s number 1 cloud based ERP system to grow and dominate its market share.

From Jim McGeever’s opening address to the NetSuite partners on Monday April 24^th, here are my 3 key takeaways:

1.       NetSuite is Going Global 

With the help and support of Oracle, NetSuite is going to put a huge push on growing and dominating the worldwide Cloud ERP marketplace. This year NetSuite has plans to expand into 30 more countries including Germany, the Benelux countries and Scandinavia to name a few.

2.       NetSuite is now a complete Unified Suite

With the introduction of SuitePeople, NetSuite adds HCM to its existing portfolio of ERP, CRM, eCommerce (SuiteCommerce) and Omni-Channel solutions. Adding a HCM solution now gives NetSuite a complete suite of business software solutions to all organizations.

3.       SuiteSuccess

SuiteSuccess was the big buzzword at SuiteWorld17. According to NetSuite ‘SuiteSuccess is the culmination of a multi-year transformation effort to combine the NetSuite unified suite, 20 years of industry leading practices, a new customer engagement model and business optimization methods into a unified, industry cloud solution. SuiteSuccess is engineered to solve unique industry challenges that historically have limited a company’s ability to grow, scale and adapt to change.’ Also, according to NetSuite, following the best business practices of SuiteSuccess, new customer implementations should go live within the first 100 days.

B2BGateway to sponsor NetSuite SuiteConnect EMEA in London

B2BGateway will be sponsoring SuiteConnect EMEA which takes place on October 11^th in the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel in London.

SuiteConnect EMEA is a NetSuite conference for clients and partners located in the European, Middle East and African regions. The conference promises to give attendees insights from NetSuite’s seventeen years of delivering cloud solutions to over 30,000 organizations globally, learn how to stay current with new trends and findings from Frost & Sullivan and to network with over 800 attendees. Guests will also be able to attend dedicated industry vertical breakout sessions as well as visit the exhibition hall to meet with NetSuite partners and their solutions. The keynote address will be delivered by NetSuite CEO, Zach Nelson, who will speak on how modern global companies are thriving in the cloud economy.

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) has become best business practice in the transfer of electronic business documents such as Purchase Orders, Invoices, Advanced Shipping Notices (ASNs), Inventory Updates, etc., between trading partners and is highly popular in market verticals such as Wholesale Distribution, Retail, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Automotive and Finance.

By integrating with B2BGateway’s cloud based EDI solution the NetSuite user can be compliant in all internationally recognized EDI standards and communication protocols such as EDIFACT, Eancom, Tradacoms, ANSI X12, oioUBL, PEPPOL, VAN, AS2, etc. The B2BGateway EDI solution is built into the NetSuite dashboard and full integration removes the need for the user to re-key data when exchanging electronic business documents with trading partners, leading to greater accuracy, increased labour efficiencies and expediting the ‘order-to-payment’ cash cycle with customers.

Life gets much Suite-r in EMEA for NetSuite

NetSuite recently held its first client and partner conference in London. The conference called SuiteConnect UK was based at clients, partners, developers and prospects based in the EMEA region. The opening keynote was given by CEO Zach Nelson and CTO and co-founder Evan Goldberg. During the keynote both speakers promised a greater commitment to grow and support new business in the EMEA region and this was evidenced in over 700 attendees showing up on the day when only 500 were originally expected.

Nelson spoke about NetSuite’s increased focus on the UK and European markets, saying business in Europe grew 100 percent in 2013 and citing the recent acquisition of London-based commerce firm Venda as a case in point. “Our investment in Venda this year was about investing in domain expertise in Europe. It was our largest acquisition to date. It’s bringing our companies together and getting us to focus on the next great opportunity for growth, and that’s Europe” said Nelson.

There will also soon be announcements about two in-region data centers. The locations of these have yet to be decided, but it seems likely that Germany or Switzerland may be the fore-runners.

Throughout out the day attendees were able to attend breakout sessions on some of the market verticals where NetSuite excels such as Wholesale Distribution, Manufacturing, Retail and Professional Services.

As NetSuite’s longest serving EDI partner, B2BGateway were delighted to be present on the day to meet existing EMEA clients and partners and to demonstrate our cloud based, fully integrated EDI solutions to new prospects.

It looks as if life will certainly be much suite-r for NetSuite EMEA over the coming months!
