NetSuite delivers more, more, more at SuiteWorld

 

Lifehacker’s biggest takeaway was that NetSuite will be increasing its presence in Australia, while also that Oracle and NetSuite’s sales teams will be cross-trained in both platforms.

Diginomica wrote about NetSuite’s charitable applications. And Which-50 described SuiteSuccess as “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, according to a statement accompanying the launch.”
