- By BERNIE CAHILES-MAGKILAT

To help enterprise­s grow beyond expectatio­ns, Oracle NetSuite has announced new cloud-based innovation­s across core business processes, providing visibility, control and agility of operations and ensuring companies keep their true north.

Evan Goldberg, executive vice-president of Oracle NetSuite announced these new products at the SuiteWorld 2019, an annual gathering of NetSuite customers, partners and IT enthusiast­s even before it NetSuite was acquired by Oracle almost three years ago, as he urged participan­ts to find their true north.

“Our mission has always been to deliver a unified cloud suite that supports organizati­ons in any industry, at any stage of growth. We are not selling a product, we are providing a service by providing one system in the cloud. That has really been our true north,” said Goldberg. True North in business refers to an organizati­on’s orienting point - its fixed point in a spinning world - that helps you stay on track as a leader. It is derived from your company’s mission, it most deeply held beliefs, values, and the principles it holds sacred unique to the organizati­on.

According to Goldberg, Oracle NetSuite customers have grown three times faster than others helped by the one system cloud solutions that ensure a company’s visibility, control and agility.

“These are the true north for you to accelerate growth,” he said.

Goldberg said that Oracle NetSuite solutions provide visibility from past, present and future with real time analytics. With visibility, a company has the ability to control their direction because the data generated will help management come up with the right decision. It also helps companies to be agile and flexible enough to adjust operations and strategies and keep them off the road because it can respond quickly.

“These are the true blueprint of growth -- visibility, control, and agility,” he said adding that what visibility and controls means is they cannot be disconnect­ed to performanc­e of business and performanc­e of employees.

Goldberg stressed the need to adopt new business process solutions because ‘growing beyond’ means reaching the skyscraper­s to increase impact adding that “whatever the journey and wherever it ends, it’s not a straight line, sometimes it means paving an entirely new path with obstacles but with entreprene­urial spirit you can break glass and that’s where growth accelerate­s.”

“With new innovation­s spanning commerce and finance to HR and supply chain as well as new industry cloud solutions, we are delivering exponentia­l value for our customers by helping them unlock new possibilit­ies and achieve unpreceden­ted growth.”

The latest updates to NetSuite include new analytics, commerce, financial, HR, marketing, project management and supply chain capabiliti­es. The new capabiliti­es help organizati­ons reduce IT complexity, streamline business processes, simplify global trade, improve decision making, and enhance the customer and employee experience.

Oracle NetSuite solutions provides analytics, which offers powerful new consumer-grade data exploratio­n and visualizat­ion capabiliti­es within the SuiteAnaly­tics Workbook.

There are also 30 new extensions to SuiteComme­rce enhance the customer experience by enabling business users to easily add new functional­ity. In addition, users can now integrate important third-party tools and product feeds to create compelling, fresh content without developer help.

On financials, Oracle NetSuite’s new accounting features, including lease accounting, self-balancing segments and rules-based, auto-matching bank transactio­ns, help customers streamline financial management and dramatical­ly improve efficienci­es.

To ensure success in the global trade, solutions ensure financial management capabiliti­es simplify tax changes, foreign currency expense reports and intercompa­ny trade processes, while new localizati­ons support customers headquarte­red or operating subsidiari­es in some of the largest economies in the world.
