Thank you so much for tuning in to the NetSuite podcast. I'm Megan O'Brien, a co-host of the podcast. Now you all are in luck because today's episode marks the start of a mini series we are doing called The CFO Agenda. As we approach the end of 2024, we wanted to gauge what's on the docket for finance and accounting leaders. 00;00;28;23 - 00;00;50;23 In the first installment of the series, we have Jess Wijesekera, SVP of Global Accounting for Vytalize Health, a leading value based care platform. If you attended SuiteWorld or if you tuned into NetSuite OnAir to watch the main keynote, you would have seen her make an appearance with NetSuite Founder and EVP Evan Goldberg. 00;00;50;25 - 00;01;19;08 Vytalize Health has grown by a casual 90,778% over the last three years, so this episode is a great pulse check on what high-growth companies are prioritizing this coming year. We talk all about Jess' background and her current role of Vytalize Health, the company's exponential growth, and her plans for 2025. With that, let's go ahead and dive in. 00;01;19;11 - 00;01;45;23 You're listening to the NetSuite Podcast, where we discuss what's happening within NetSuite, why we're doing it, and where we're heading in the future. We'll dive into the details about the software and the people at NetSuite who are behind all the moving parts. We'll also feature customer growth stories discussing the ups and downs of running a company and how one integrated system can help your business continue to scale. 00;01;45;25 - 00;02;03;26 Hi, Jess. How are you today? Hey, Megan. Good. Really great to be here. Good. We're so happy to have you. Yeah. Thank you. All right, well, we're going to dive right in because we have so much to cover. We want to hear, first of all, about your background. Did you always know that you wanted to get into accounting? 00;02;03;29 - 00;02;26;29 I did not. But I was always very good at organizing people and organizing projects. And I think that organization has always really been a part of who I am. It's going to sound silly, but in kindergarten I used to and tell them where and how to jump rope, and they always just happily listened to what I had to say. 00;02;26;29 - 00;02;57;23 And I felt really like a natural leader and I knew I wanted to do something that captured my personality. So, for me, accounting is just a really nice because it's taking project management and organization and unpacking a puzzle takes a lot of patience, which I'm learning to have a lot of patience, but it takes a lot of kindness for interacting with other departments and some tenacity with dealing with service providers. 00;02;57;23 - 00;03;31;23 So, I didn't know I always wanted to do it, but it is feeling like a really good fit. I couldn't help but stalk you a little bit on LinkedIn. You majored in accounting at Villanova, which is where I went. Yeah, Wildcats, you know, so I know I just had a great experience there and I chose it really because they had a very solid business school and I had this accounting professor who taught financial accounting, and he told me that accounting was the hardest major in the business school. 00;03;31;26 - 00;03;58;08 And if I could do accounting, that I could do anything, I could do finance, I could do management, I could do marketing. And he was really right. And I followed my accounting degree up with a master's in finance at Boston College. And it's really worked well, I think, to have this understanding of everything that's accounting is past and everything that's finance is future and we meet in the present. 00;03;58;12 - 00;04;28;26 So it's kind of helped shape my career and where it's gone. That is such a cool perspective on it. And, and speaking of your career, could you talk a little bit about your past roles and your path to where you are now? Yeah, so like many accounting majors, I started at the Big Four, so I was at EY and I stayed longer than most. I was there about 15 years and I did a grand tour of about four offices. 00;04;28;29 - 00;04;55;29 So, I started in Palo Alto, and then did Boston, San Francisco, and I also did a three year secondment in the London office. And every time I felt I was going to leave public accounting, I stayed because I got a new opportunity or worked on a new client or with a new team. And it was this feeling that I could really add value, but also learn something completely new, which added to my skill set. 00;04;56;02 - 00;05;20;15 And I can't even tell you the number of times that I've cried in an audit room. I do think about those experiences and really how it shaped me. I got to work on Warner Brothers and Hawaiian Airlines, and towards the end of my career there, I was a national instructor for 606 when that Rev Rec standard was completely new and nobody knew what to do. 00;05;20;15 - 00;05;48;11 So that helped me with my foundation for where I am now. But after 15 years I decided to go into industry, so I started as an assistant controller. I was at a bottling company and my very first day on the job I realized I've never booked a journal entry in my whole life and a few roles since I have taken on kind of new areas of responsibility and kept growing my own skillset. 00;05;48;13 - 00;06;14;09 And I'm actually really lucky now to have brought on a couple of people I've worked with in the past, you know, kind of through EY and other companies because we just really enjoy working together. So that all of that brought me to my life. Well, I mean, I don't think you've really worked for a Big Four unless you've cried somewhere in an office, so you, you sent that experience home. Probably an office without windows. 00;06;14;11 - 00;06;40;07 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did my crying in a phone booth, so. Yeah, yeah, No windows. We're all here now. We're all here. And better for it. So speaking of Vytalize, you ended up joining Vytalize Health about two years ago? Can you tell our listeners a little bit about what Vytalize Health does? Yeah, so Vytalize is a value-based care company. 00;06;40;09 - 00;07;10;11 Value-based care is a collection of doctors and service providers and payers that work collectively to have better outcomes for patients. And coincidentally, that's usually at a reduced cost. So, what we do is sit between the primary care physician and CMS, which is the Center for Medicare Services. So we help our physicians strengthen the relationship that they have with their patients. 00;07;10;13 - 00;07;41;13 And if we succeed in that and meet certain quality metrics and achieve these better health outcomes, then CMS as the payer, they give us a share of that. So, I'll use a fancy terminology, but it's really aligning incentives, right? So, we're all incentivized for providing better, higher quality care, not necessarily more care. And it's really working because we're giving these doctors more time to spend with their patients. 00;07;41;13 - 00;08;18;00 So, we provide services like care coordination and virtual home care, in-home care. And it's particularly important for the Medicare population. You know, if you think about 65 plus and then people that are, you know, often not able to get to the doctor, in-home care is so critical. And really, we see ourselves as an extension of the physician so that we operate as part of their practice and really preventing hospitalizations and improving the quality of life and, you know, for an accounting major, that's certainly something I can get behind. 00;08;18;00 - 00;08;42;02 And, you know, the mission and kind of what we're doing, it feels really good. What does a typical day in your shoes look like? So like many companies in the pandemic, we went remote. So I have a little office that I use in a coworking space and I bring my puppy with me and we have a lot of meetings. 00;08;42;02 - 00;09;07;10 So back-to back-video meetings, I do a lot of meetings direct with one on ones, with my direct reports. We are constantly meeting with our EY tax team, Connor Group accounting specialists, so treasury and tax report through me. And then I just took on the FP&A function as well. So, this week was a lot of meeting with department heads to try and craft our budget. 00;09;07;12 - 00;09;34;04 But I find my typical day is really helping my team make good decisions and collaborative points of view and just making sure that we're prioritizing the right thing at the right time. Because like so many companies growing as quickly as we are, you know, you're this can be really long and kind of helping decide what comes first and what can come when, as you know, is a really big part of my job when I also have the puppy. 00;09;34;04 - 00;09;57;04 So she's as cute as can be. And we try and get out of some walks in between all of the meetings. Yeah. So for our frequent listeners, the puppies she's referring to is actually the guide dog puppy that attended SuiteWorld that we talked about in our SuiteWorld. recap. We are obsessed with Mayberry. I think she might be the new NetSuite mascot she's so sweet. 00;09;57;04 - 00;10;19;10 So she's training to become a guide dog for the blind. And I'll have her through next June. And she's part of the Walnut Creek Club here in the San Francisco Bay Area. And she's just a little delight. So her having her experience SuiteWorld in Vegas, I think opened her eyes. I mean, she's doing really great. 00;10;19;12 - 00;10;53;13 She did so good. She was all scared of the casino. Yeah, we all are. So Vytalize Health has this crazy growth trajectory. So the company ranked number one on the Inc. 5000 across all industries after achieving $1.5 billion in revenue for 2023 and a three-year revenue growth rate of 90,778%. Can you delve into the Vytalize Health's growth story and how that all came about? 00;10;53;15 - 00;11;22;19 Yeah. So Megan, work with me here on some math backwards. So to get to 1.5 billion, that means we started as a single health care practice. So we had one practice. It was in Rockland, Maryland, and it still exists, but we've grown from about one medical practice to over 200, I'm sorry, 2600 primary care physicians. We found that we were very good at these additional services. 00;11;22;19 - 00;11;49;15 Right. The care coordination and helping the physicians make better decisions. And instead of growing our own practices, the business went through kind of the modeling approach that we would instead partner with physicians and they would join our value based care program, which is it's called Accountable Care Organizations. So those practices joined our ACO and we taught them value-based care. 00;11;49;18 - 00;12;18;21 And through that we shared a part of our savings with them. And in that model, we were really able to grow quickly. So we went from, you know, just a few thousand Medicare beneficiaries to now over 260,000 patients. And that's a staggering number because we're probably taking care of someone that, you know, and it's part of Medicare's goal to have every Medicare patient in an ACO by 2030. 00;12;18;24 - 00;12;41;04 So for people who don't know what value-based care is, all of the sudden they must participate in value-based care by 2030, in six years we'll be there. And Vytalize is really helping with that transition. And it's working. It's working really well. We're seeing a lot improved outcomes for patients and decreased hospital hospitalizations. And yeah, it's going really well. 00;12;41;10 - 00;13;06;23 Yeah, clearly, clearly clear. So were there any challenges that came with this rapid growth? And if so, how did Vytalize help tackle them? Do you remember Facebook? They used to have this tagline and slogan and it said, ‘Move fast and break things,' right? And I was googling it recently and I was like, I think they have abandoned that tagline. 00;13;06;25 - 00;13;35;10 Yeah, maybe with the move to Meta, they're like, Yeah, maybe not and break things. Yes. So that's the hardest part, right? Is because you can move too quickly and break things and sometimes that's an okay thing. But a lot of the times we should really be adding a lot more thought, a lot more time and a lot more considerations to some of the larger decisions that are going on. 00;13;35;10 - 00;14;02;29 So really, to me, the biggest challenge with this rapid growth is taking the time and the thought process to really think through decisions and not move as quickly as you can. So one of the other things that we've done to kind of circumvent that is adding a policy and procedures committee and a policy and procedures role in our organization. 00;14;02;29 - 00;14;37;20 And I'm not going to take any credit for that because it was already in existence and it was already working really well. But we were able to then write some policies pretty early on that helped our controls and helped our vendor contracts who could engage if vendor who could approve a payment. And a lot of those early policies and we're still writing them, but a lot of those early policies helped us, you know, be able to go to the rest of the business and say, ‘Hey, you know, you can't X, Y, Z because of this policy' or ‘You can, but you must do it in this way.' 00;14;37;24 - 00;15;07;28 And kind of making that consistent across the organization was really helpful for me. Well, that kind of leads into a good question for our listeners here. Any best practices for companies that might be looking to grow or any pitfalls to avoid? I think growth in general is having good technology to scale, right? So how do we make something a repeatable process and how do we put it in a system to be able to make it repeatable? 00;15;08;01 - 00;15;39;14 My app director, Lisa Kemper, and I joke all the time that life is full of one-offs, right? Like this is all a one off and if you're tackling something over here and over there, you would need 300 people in your accounting department to be able to support all of the one-offs. So, we very much we do use this Policy and Procedures Committee, but we're also standing up a lot of our tech products and using NetSuite to be able to get, you know, some standardization. 00;15;39;14 - 00;16;07;11 But also I'll call it kill the one offs, right? We can't be doing an exception. Everything has to fit into a process and become part of the rule. And how has Vytalize Health been using NetSuite? Oh my gosh. We're big, you know, signing some new statements of work all the time. So, yes, I love it. I know the one we just signed was the budgeting and planning tool right now. 00;16;07;11 - 00;16;33;05 So we started with the financials and budgeting and planning. But I would say we're really starting to use a lot of the subledgers in the way that they were intended to be used, and that has been really helpful for us. So, our biggest NetSuite, and I spoke about this at SuiteWorld, is our bank reconciliations. We have, you know, 47 bank accounts and transactions galore. 00;16;33;11 - 00;16;58;00 Right? And sort of as we talk about standardization and automation and killing, the one offs, what we're doing is making sure that we can put something in a process and make it repeatable. And the bank reconciliation module has started to learn the way that we're matching off our bank recs and the way that we're matching off transactions. And it will start to do that for us. 00;16;58;00 - 00;17;21;05 So every time we make a bill payment debit this account credit that account it learns it and then it'll just do it in the background and then we approve it. So this used to take three people their whole full-time job. Not to mention there are a lot of errors in this process. And now that we actually turned on the bank rec module, it's kind of all working for us in the background. 00;17;21;05 - 00;17;47;26 And I was even talking with my accounting manager, Kelly Allen, and I said yesterday I was like, Kelly, how's the bank matching going? And she's like, ‘You know, I don't even hear about it.' It's really working for us. And, and it's been helpful to start to automate these things so we don't have to think about it. And it previously it just felt like we were playing catch up, you know, 45 days. 00;17;47;29 - 00;18;06;14 It would take us to close the books. And, you know, 45 days ago was the end of August or August is long gone by now. Right? We're making business decisions all the time. Do we need more? You know, funding from investors? We want to take a loan, whereas, you know, where are these larger payments coming from? We're going to we can't wait 45 days for anything. 00;18;06;14 - 00;18;32;25 So it's helped us, you know, make some real-time decisions. Well, why is having a strong tech stack so important for Vytalize Health specifically and how did it perhaps help facilitate some of the massive growth that you mentioned previously? We had a previous controller at Vytalize and every time we needed financials, he would say, okay, like I need three days. 00;18;32;27 - 00;19;02;08 He would take, you know, we had QuickBooks and, you know, it was the right size and shape for us when we started. So, we're using QuickBooks and he would take three days to prepare a consolidation and then to do the elimination journal entries. And that was a very manual effort. And three days of those financials and, you know, the manual errors that could exist. 00;19;02;08 - 00;19;23;13 And, you know, it was almost like, well, I don't need it anymore that I asked for that three days ago. We've moved on. That wasn't at least, you know, last week. So finally I looked at him and I was like, we have to get this in NetSuite and we have to do like journal entries and post them on the system. 00;19;23;13 - 00;19;43;21 And, you know, we're going to need elimination entries and we're going to need to have this reporting in a moment's notice. And, you know, when we ask for the report, I need it in 20 minutes, not three days. So we moved it all into NetSuite We've also gotten a tool called Workiva and Workiva connects to NetSuite. 00;19;43;21 - 00;20;09;08 And I'll give a shout out to Ryan Mueller, who's our senior manager of tech accounting and NetSuite syncs with Workiva so we can produce financial statements and reports at a moment's notice. And I can say, you know, I want the Q2 report to investors and I want that Q2 report to include these entities and Workiva pulls the information from NetSuite. 00;20;09;08 - 00;20;32;08 And then we can have it ready for an investor immediately. And that has really been a game changer for us. We do a lot of reporting. We have board members and boards of each of our ACOs, so there's about six of those. We need frequent reporting for about six different entities. And then on top of that, we're supporting an audit from Deloitte right now. 00;20;32;08 - 00;20;58;13 For us to pull all of this reporting very quickly and only, you know, I have a team of five here in the US doing accounting, and that is really essential for us to have these tools so that we can, you know, keep our headcount costs low, keep the work interesting for the people that are here, and be also, you know, be providing that to investors. 00;20;58;15 - 00;21;24;18 NetSuite by Oracle, the number one cloud financial system is everything you need to grow all in one place. Financials, inventory, HR, and more. Make better decisions faster so you can do more and spend less. See how at netsuite.com/pod. Well, can you imagine the poor controller just getting an email saying, ‘Hey, we want the numbers' and thinking, ‘Well, there goes three of my days.' 00;21;24;21 - 00;21;47;29 My god, I'd be dreading emails. Yeah. And, you know, sad story about QuickBooks. You have to have separate legal entities. So, we had 16 legal entities that he had. Like, you can't run a report. So we got a bolt on tool. So it's fun. But you know, just to sort of highlight like if you think you can do it, it could probably be done. 00;21;47;29 - 00;22;13;10 So moving to the new technology helped us immensely. Yeah, thank god. Thank god for saving the controller on a click of a button. We've kind of alluded to this, but you participated in a keynote with NetSuite Founder and EVP Evan Goldberg at SuiteWorld this year. What was that experience like? It was so cool. That was really just kind of a highlight for me. 00;22;13;15 - 00;22;35;08 I think the best part was people coming up to me afterwards and saying, you know, they resonate with my message or, you know, they really liked whatever point I had to make. And, you know, yeah, it's cool to be on stage and meet Evan. But really, for me, it kind of came full circle when people, you know, could kind of even tell me back what I said, did I say that? 00;22;35;10 - 00;22;57;26 But yeah, that was that was a really great experience and, you know, fun to kind of share how Vytalize is doing. And, you know, this big award has, has really opened a lot of doors for the company as well. One of the anecdotes really stuck out to me personally in your keynote with Evan was how someone on your team essentially automated himself out of his job doing bank reconcilations. 00;22;57;28 - 00;23;21;26 But he ended up moving to FP&A, which arguably more of a value add for the company. So as more manual task and accounting and finance are automated, what do you think the future of those functions will look like? Yeah, and I have this funny title. My title is global, which you know, often means it's a global company. 00;23;21;28 - 00;23;48;29 But for me, this global title is actually represents to the people on my accounting team and we are all over the world. So the individual who automated himself out of his job, Dether, sits in the Philippines. So it's kind of this added layer, Meggan, that, my goodness, an outsourced role in the Philippines, just automated himself out of a job. 00;23;49;01 - 00;24;21;13 But the people are working to offshore stuff, but like my offshore person is working to automate. And just a quick update on Dether: he has been so helpful with the budgets for us. We are going through our budgeting process right now, as so many companies are, and that budgeting process is really leading to a lot of great conversations with our department heads about what costs we're needing, what vendors we're going to be needing for next year, what strategic initiatives do we have to plan more costs for, where is more revenue to compensate for that? 00;24;21;15 - 00;24;45;29 And he has been so incredibly helpful in that role and I think it's very fulfilling for him so often times, you know, what is the future of the function looks like? It just looks like it's at a higher level and we are starting at the baseline is just moving up, right? So your entry-level position is just doing higher quality work. 00;24;46;01 - 00;25;10;07 Hopefully fewer tears in the audit room now. I think the tears will exist, but I do think people will have a more fulfilling job, start for themselves right out of college or right into the workforce. What skills do you think will become must haves and kind of this new normal? Yeah, I think the go-to skill for me is just a willingness to learn. 00;25;10;10 - 00;25;44;25 You know, I think I even told Evan on stage I don't know everything and I really don't, but at least I know where I can look it up. Or I might know who to ask or, you know, in me and in my team is this willingness to learn and the willingness to change. And I think kind of that positive outlook and that positive environment is something that will forever be a must have, especially as we have all these new these new automation ideas and everything that's new and exciting. 00;25;44;27 - 00;26;09;28 We really just have to embrace it. And getting a little more granular here. What are you looking for when hiring talent? Are there any kind of talent gaps that you are trying to fill? Yeah, and I think especially as a scaling company, I think in any organization you often wear many hats, but as I'm scaling, I'll just use my senior manager of accounting projects as my go to example. 00;26;09;28 - 00;26;36;25 But I'd worked with him before and when I hired him I was like, ‘I just I need help.' And the first thing he says, all the time, Rob Dulgarian, is how can I help? And it's this willingness to learn new skills and the willingness to you know, get in and get your hands dirty, figure something out and, you know, kind of right size, whatever it is that you're working on that. 00;26;36;28 - 00;27;08;13 And that's a skill that the skill that I'm looking for when I hire people, you know, people we have people in Jordan, we have people in the Philippines, and we have people in the US, and kind of across the board. Anytime we're hiring, that's really what we're looking for is, you know, I've never done that before and I don't know how I'm looking for people that say, you know, I've never done that before, but let me explore, you know, how it's just this really positive outlook and where we are. 00;27;08;13 - 00;27;39;27 We especially get that from our global team members. They're just ever so, ever helpful. How do you assuage some of the fears in your team and your leadership, whatever it might be, about being automated out of a job? How do we get people to kind of embrace automation and AI and not really fear it? So I admittedly was unsuccessful at this at my last position, and I have been unsuccessful at this before. 00;27;39;29 - 00;28;24;18 I think it takes the tone from the top and really having, you know, the board, the C-suite, your investors, having those individuals excited and ready to embrace change is where it starts from because not to throw a cliche out there, but it really will all trickle down and having them excited and on board. At my last job, I think the only one that was excited and on board and it was really hard to get change, to get people excited about doing something else because, you know, they often have fear of losing their position and that that fear is very normal and very understandable. 00;28;24;18 - 00;28;51;05 But I think that as long as the, you know, the top of the company is willing to be flexible and encourage that change, I think it'll be a lot more effective. The accounting profession, it's been the news recently due to a shortage of professionals entering the role. So as a leader in accounting, how do you think companies can combat that shortage and attract accounting talent to their teams? 00;28;51;10 - 00;29;17;13 I feel like I'm going to bring this answer back to your previous questions, right? So it feels like automating and, you know, kind of holistically globally, looking at the talent workforce that's there. I mean, I think that's how companies are going to be able to continue to succeed. I kind of saw at the tail end of my career at EY how it was harder to get new accountants in. 00;29;17;13 - 00;29;57;15 And then also combined with COVID, was very difficult to start training people without being without being on site and in the same place together to be able to train. So, you know, from my perspective, I think it'll flex and change over time. Maybe I should teach some more accounting classes and get people excited about being accounting majors. But, you know, I, I do very much think it'll be a combination of roles like global accounting roles throughout the world, combined with this idea of people really embracing and getting change and automation and up and running and tech stack too. 00;29;57;15 - 00;30;31;17 I think one of the other things I wanted to mention is that we've been using Numero and Numero is a tool that we've used through Connor Group. And what Numero does is extract key terms out of documents and summarize technical accounting. So we're using AI to write our technical accounting memos, future state, and we're using a lot of this AI to kind of take and develop things that we would have done manually. 00;30;31;17 - 00;30;56;04 And you don't even think about how manual it is to create a technical accounting memo. But, you know, if I can give this bot a topic and my three lease agreements that can write an ASC 42 memo for me and you know, how cool is that? Because basically what we're doing then is taking the people who used to prepare the work and making them reviewers instead. 00;30;56;06 - 00;31;16;22 And I do think there are some additional challenges of like, how do you review something you've never prepared? But, you know, I think it'll create higher value work earlier in the process for people when they're launching their accounting careers. Yeah, I think taking some of the tedium out of it is going to be huge. So much tedious. 00;31;16;24 - 00;31;38;29 So much teedious staff work. Yeah. And now we have technology. Yeah. I wish I were starting my career now. I think I might consider an accounting career. If we had the. No, I would be terrible at accounting. I'm not organized enough. But then again, I could talk you into it. But maybe someday. But not today. I do come from a family of accountants. 00;31;38;29 - 00;32;06;02 Unknown My family is in medicine. So some helpful lessons for me. Yeah. For a health care company. Yeah. You blended it. Yes. So it was both. Well, we're kind of like coming up on the end of the year, so I wanted to pick your brain kind of around your 2025 agenda. So as SVP of accounting, what are your top priorities going into 2025? 00;32;06;05 - 00;32;32;07 So we are building out all kinds of really great reporting. So we're using the NetSuite Budgeting and Planning tool to also do our financial reporting for us. So what we're doing this year is building our budgets and we're building them at the vendor level. So it'll be able or it'll give us the opportunity to really analyze our budget versus actual at a new level that we've never done before. 00;32;32;07 - 00;32;57;25 So we're pretty excited about that. And then also meeting more regularly with our department heads to be able to have them reflect on how the month went, but then also make any changes in the future, planning for their new hires and any vendor expenses they have. And really, you know, having a well thought out budget and meeting that budget in 2025 is really our biggest priority. 00;32;57;28 - 00;33;22;22 Well, that's huge because, I mean, we keep writing about it, but the role of finance and accounting is becoming so strategy driven, so much about partnering across the rest of the business instead of kind of, you know, reporting after the fact to everyone. It's like working with them and collaborating during the process. Yeah, yeah. And seeing what new contracts are in the pipeline. 00;33;22;22 - 00;34;00;09 How are we going to take those contracts and pull certain levers to be able to maximize them? Yeah, there's a lot to kind of account marrying together, accounting and finance. Are there any challenges that you are worried about or anticipating? Yeah, I think the making sure that as an accounting department we remain inserted into each of the other operating units of the business and that we're working closely with the finance team and kind of ears to the ground with what's going on and when and being able to influence and do that at a much earlier time period. 00;34;00;09 - 00;34;36;21 So I am I am anticipating that to be a new challenge for us. But yeah, we're excited to work on that. And actually, my same bank reconciliation manager who used to do that, this is his new job instead. So we'll hopefully report back on how it goes with his new role. I love it. As advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, RPA, all that proliferate, do you have any plans to upskill or reskill your existing workforce in the next year and how are you anticipating going about it? 00;34;36;28 - 00;35;07;20 Yeah, so Megan, this answer just makes my heart sing. So we are using our offshore Philippines team to use AI. So our offshore team is going through all of the contracts for us and they're using an AI tool, actually the same AI tool Numero. They're using that tool to go through all of the key contracts that we have and extract the key terms of the contracts. 00;35;07;23 - 00;35;44;07 That is a very typical, you know, staff one accountant role, right? That's what I did as a staff one accountant, and that was my whole job. So now it's been done by a computer. So cool. And it's being reviewed by, by somebody who's offshore and that I mean, it just really makes my heart sing because we're taking this lower-level work and giving more interesting work to the people who are onshore because now they're looking at these contracts and doing things in a way that that they wouldn't have the opportunity to do. 00;35;44;07 - 00;36;05;06 It's often hard to review your own work, right? So now we're getting new skill. We're just going to upskill the people that we have. I think our business right now, we're mainly focused on the current contracts that we have and then expanding our patient population within those contracts. So we're not necessarily taking on new physician practices. 00;36;05;06 - 00;36;28;06 So I think our accounting department will stay steady, but that is the thing we always like to keep on top of our finance folks to see how are we growing the business and how should we grow our accounting department as well. From a broader technology perspective, do you have any goals going into the next year? Yeah, I think just the great financial reporting. 00;36;28;06 - 00;37;01;16 And then we also have Salesforce as a system, and I was super excited to see Evan announce that Salesforce integrations are going to be made a lot easier. So from a tech stack perspective, we are going to start getting the information from Salesforce into NetSuite. And we're yeah, we're pretty excited about that because there's a lot of work that we do with onboarding our customers and that customer onboarding happens in Salesforce, but then it should become part of the customer record that's in NetSuite. 00;37;01;16 - 00;37;30;16 And right now, that's a manual process for us. So having Salesforce integrated would be, would be a really nice to have. Does Vytalize House as a whole company have any overarching objectives going into 2025? Yeah, so very much pure and stable growth. We are really focused on keeping the current physicians that we have and, and as I mentioned, the patients that we're serving or the Medicare patients. 00;37;30;16 - 00;37;56;01 Right. So if you imagine the doctor physician that you go to is your primary, maybe that primary care physician has 2000 patients and 500 of them are Medicare patients. Right. So those 500 lives, that's what's included in our count, right? That 260,000 that I mentioned before. So what we're trying to do next is get access to the other patients. 00;37;56;01 - 00;38;19;19 Right. That would look like contracts with Blue Shield or contracts with Aetna and other payers to be able to influence care over those lives as well. So I'll call that organic growth because we already have those relationships with the PCPs in place. But what we're wanting are contracts and relationships with the other payers, so that that's 2025 for us. 00;38;19;19 - 00;38;39;13 It sounds so exciting. I know. I feel like this business was so hard for me to understand and like the 10th time someone explained it to me, I got it. So I'm sure you guys are getting it in more than more than ten Innovation items. But yeah, it is a really exciting business here. We're thrilled to be a part of it. 00;38;39;17 - 00;39;12;14 Wrapping up here, just you have such a fascinating story coming in, like coming in and working for this high growth company. Is there any final thoughts or takeaways to leave our listeners with? Yeah, and one thing I do on my personal life is that I keep a gratitude journal and it helps me have a really positive mindset and having a positive mindset leaves me open for learning and growth of my personal development. 00;39;12;16 - 00;39;39;26 So I think that's one thing that's just really helped me to stay on top of my game of staying positive and kind of a can-do attitude. You know, I'm certainly not that way all the time. And sometimes my team shakes and says, Just pull back together. But I do really think that, you know, kind of being grateful for where we're at, how well we've done shapes us to have some positivity going into our next chapter for finals. 00;39;40;00 - 00;39;59;02 I love it. What a good note to end on. So being grateful really keeps you open for learning more. Jess, thanks so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for having me. And again, I really am grateful for the opportunity. All right. Back to my journal today. Thank you so much, Megan. 00;39;59;06 - 00;40;26;21 Yeah, thank you. That brings us to the end of another great episode. It's such a great opportunity to get the perspective directly from a high-growth company and from someone like Jess, who has been there and facilitated so much of it. I think it was especially rewarding to hear how she personally was starting to implement AI in the accounting department to increase efficiency as the company expands. 00;40;26;23 - 00;40;47;10 Huge thanks to Jess for taking time out of her busy schedule to chat with us.

Thanks for tuning into this episode breaking down our newest NetSuite release. I'm Ian McCue, senior content marketing manager at NetSuite and I'm joined by NetSuite's business and finance editor Megan O'Brien. The summer means it's our second product release of the year and that NetSuite 2024 Release 2 is packed with a bunch of awesome new features. 00;00;23;10 - 00;00;50;19 Absolutely. NetSuite 2024.2 brings new functionality across SuiteBilling, SCM mobile and Manufacturing mobile, and SuitePeople, as well as new suite apps to help businesses run their supply chains more efficiently. We have four different guests breaking down the latest capabilities in detail and explaining how they benefit you. And if you're looking for more, our sneak peek release blogs are now live on NetSuite.com. 00;00;50;22 - 00;01;16;19 See the links in the description of this episode to check this out. Stay tuned because we have a lot of exciting updates that you won't want to miss. You're listening to the NetSuite Podcast where we discuss what's happening within NetSuite, why we're doing it, and where we're heading in the future. We'll dive into the details about the software and the people at NetSuite who are behind all the moving parts. 00;01;16;21 - 00;01;41;22 Unknown We'll also feature customer growth stories discussing the ups and downs of running a company and how one integrated system can help your business continue to scale. Kicking us off is Lisa Schwarz, senior director of product marketing at NetSuite. Lisa will provide a quick preview of what's new in 2024 Release 2, including an updated user interface that customers can now try out for the first time. 00;01;41;25 - 00;02;13;00 She also gives a refresher on how all our customers receive the update and what they can do to prepare for it. So, Lisa, we have a few guests joining us to dive deeper into the latest functionality in NetSuite 2024 Release, 2. But could you give us a quick overview of what's new? Absolutely. So we have a slew of new supply chain and manufacturing features ranging from NetSuite WMS to some of the mobile applications, as well as some hot new suite apps related to supply chain. 00;02;13;03 - 00;02;36;11 Unknown We'll be diving into the new SuiteBilling capabilities, which is our subscription management and billing solution. And finally, you'll hear about some of the new things going on with our HR solution, SuitePeople. So what's one feature in this release that you're kind of especially excited about or maybe see as a big win for our customers? Wow. That's a tough one. 00;02;36;11 - 00;03;02;06 It's like, you know, picking your favorite child or, you know, they're all special in their very own ways. From a practical point of view, it's great to see the evolution of Bill Capture, which we continue to fine tune the ML models that help increase the accuracy for matching the invoices to your NetSuite record. 00;03;02;08 - 00;03;39;13 So that's increasing productivity for our users. There's also Ship Central, our packing and shipping solution. With this release, there's some great new functionality to automatically find the best shipping rates, which is pretty cool so that's saving users time but also money. So those are great. But I actually wanted to talk about a feature that's included in the release, but it's an early release status, so going into that a little bit. 00;03;39;15 - 00;04;05;05 What we're going to be doing with this release is to start to roll out some of the new Redwood UI elements to NetSuite. Users may have heard about this already from Oracle, which they have all their applications using this or you actually may have seen it in some of the Oracle applications that we make available to NetSuite users like Planning and Budgeting or Analytics Warehouse. 00;04;05;08 - 00;04;37;06 Those two solutions have already the Redwood UI design system applied. So what you're going to see in NetSuite are changes like fonts, icons, and colors applied to various pages. There's no functionality changes, no changes to workflows. It's strictly an aesthetic, you know, user interface change. One thing to note and to understand is that this new UI won't be turned on by default. 00;04;37;09 - 00;05;01;11 You'll need to go in and change the preference settings to do that, but your admin can usually do that. It's a great way just to start to become familiar with this. We're going to see more pages updated over the next few releases with more of the design elements applied and at some point it will become the default UI of NetSuite. 00;05;01;14 - 00;05;27;04 But it's just starting and that's what I think is really exciting. Yeah, very cool stuff. And if someone wants to learn more about Redwood UI and maybe, you know, what might be might be changing a little bit, just an appearance in NetSuite. Where could they go to learn more about that? As usual, with all the stuff in every new release we'll have details in the release notes. 00;05;27;06 - 00;06;07;16 But we're also planning to start rolling out over the next few months some added communications and tools that users can use to become familiar. So you should be seeing some blogs on this. We're actually trying to line up a speaker for the podcast at some point soon down the road. So lots more to come on this. Awesome. And I wanted to quickly touch on kind of the logistics of the NetSuite release for any new listeners, any customers who have maybe not been through this before or those that maybe just need a refresher. 00;06;07;16 - 00;06;35;18 So how does NetSuite deliver all these new features that you covered to users? Yeah, it's actually still to this day, as many times we've been doing it, it's still super cool to watch it from the other side of getting it applied. The process and everything. But to remind everybody, we do two releases a year, all of our customers, which right now we're at 38,000+ customers receive the updates. 00;06;35;21 - 00;07;13;04 Everyone is on the same release using the latest and greatest version of NetSuite. So this is our second update of the year. With the release, accounts will be updated between mid August through July. That's the span of the rolling upgrade window. Each customer is assigned a date and a time that their NetSuite account will be updated. The date and the time of your update will be published in the new release portlet on your NetSuite dashboard and your NetSuite admin will also get an email with this information. 00;07;13;07 - 00;07;48;11 If for some reason this time doesn't work for your company, you can change the date and time of the update via the CSM tool within NetSuite. Again, something pretty fast and easy that your admin can do. So on the day of the update, you do not need to install or do anything. Everything is automated. Accounts will go offline during the update time, which is scheduled for about a four-hour period, but most of the updates happen in 60 minutes or less. 00;07;48;14 - 00;08;09;02 And it sounds like there's not a whole lot for customers to do, which is obviously a good thing. But what can customers do to prepare for this update? Yeah, like I mentioned, this is all automatic, but we definitely encourage users to become familiar with what's in the release and to try it out in a release preview account. 00;08;09;04 - 00;08;43;28 So while accounts are updated automatically and all customizations that you may have done to your account come over with the update, it's great to test things out using your own data, workflows, integrations, and customizations just so there are no surprises. I know I don't like any surprises, so for those of you who are not familiar with the release preview account, this is a special test account test environment that clones your production account with the new release functionality in it. It's free. 00;08;44;05 - 00;09;12;24 Unknown You just need to have your NetSuite admin requested, but definitely encourage to, as we used to say, test drive before you go live. And other than this podcast, how else can customers learn more about 2024.2? Yeah, lots of ways to engage and learn more. So the first thing you can do is read about this sneak peek blogs. 00;09;12;28 - 00;09;37;04 You can read about the enhancements in the sneak peek blogs on NetSuite.com, as well as the release notes. The release notes go into a ton of details on each of the new features and capabilities. There's also training videos that are made available in SuiteAnswers that you can watch on selected new features and enhancements. 00;09;37;06 - 00;10;06;04 Another way, we encourage you to talk with your account manager about what's new, kind of what they're recommending you. You may want to pay a little special attention since they know your environments a little bit more. So engage in some conversations with your account manager. We've got some upcoming webinars that you could also, if you know, kind of seeing is more of your thing rather than reading. 00;10;06;07 - 00;10;37;03 So we have a new release features webinar coming up actually just a few days after this webinar—this podcast goes live so you can sign up to watch that to participate in that webinar July 24th. Or if you can't make that it's available, it will be available to watch on demand. And there's also another follow-up webinar coming up in early August about release readiness. 00;10;37;05 - 00;11;03;10 So this is a little different webinar. It's not going to go into details on the actual features, but more about giving you tips on how to get ready for the release, like using the release preview account, which I just mentioned, creating test plans. And then there's also an opportunity to learn about some of the services that we have available that you may want to look at to help with release readiness. 00;11;03;12 - 00;11;38;08 And then last but not least, you know, we've got SuiteWorld coming up. So that's happening in Las Vegas, September 9th through the 12th. We've got over 200+ sessions, seminars, hands-on learning and training that cover a lot of the new capabilities, not only from this release, 24.2, but also from the previous release, 24.1. So lots of different ways to learn about the release depending upon your, you know, how you like to learn and get up to speed on things. 00;11;38;11 - 00;12;05;13 Well, lots of cool and exciting stuff to look forward to there. So thanks for walking us through it, Lisa. Thanks again. Happy to. SuitePeople, NetSuite's human resource management solution, saw several new features in NetSuite 2024 Release 2. Joining us to discuss how these updates will help companies better manage their workforce and associated costs is Tanios Boudames. 00;12;05;13 - 00;12;33;22 Product marketing manager for NetSuite SuitePeople. For those who are not aware of NetSuite's HR solution SuitePeople, could you give them an overview? Yeah, of course. So SuitePeople is part of NetSuite's DNA, right? It works seamlessly with the rest of the platform. It's NetSuite's comprehensive human resources management system. So it's designed to streamline, automate a lot of the complexities that HR 00;12;33;23 - 00;13;20;16 Teams and processes kind of face. And it offers a robust set of tools for managing core HR business processes. That's like keeping employee records, running payroll, providing benefits, understanding performance of different teams, scheduling and optimizing workforce scheduling and planning, and really by integrating with the NetSuite ecosystem and being a part of it, you can really enable your business to better manage your workforce by having real-time insights, by having real-time analytics that drive better decision making because SuitePeople is with NetSuite on the same platform and it really allows customers to better understand how they can manage their workforce and optimize it. 00;13;20;19 - 00;13;47;24 And all of this is leveraged because again it's connected to NetSuite. So we can connect to SuiteAnalytics, SuiteProjects, into all the different products that NetAuite offers. And in terms of SuitePeople itself, diving deeper in, in terms of what the modules and products are that we sell, we have US payroll, we have HR administration, we have workforce management, then we have performance management. 00;13;47;26 - 00;14;21;06 So these are really covering the key areas that HR folks are going to be looking for in terms of providing HR functionality to their business. And this helps really provide a unified solution for finance and HR. And one solution with NetSuite. Well, why is it important to have a finance and HR system that is unified? Yeah, so there's really three areas that I always think of when it's when it's having a unified solution, especially when it comes to two really key lines of business like finance and HR. 00;14;21;09 - 00;14;43;19 The first is collaboration, right? It's being able to understand when you want to make changes to your workforce, you want to either hire people or you want to maybe readjust learning or reskill employees or understand where you need make shifts in the workforce in terms of scheduling and teams is understanding how you can collaborate as a HR person with finance or vice versa. 00;14;43;25 - 00;15;29;00 Understanding the budget, understanding the costs from the finance side, and then understanding things like the goals of performance. The really HR information location, how you can readjust workforces to be optimized to improve revenue performance of the business. The second is having actionable insights. And this kind of goes on the collaboration is not just being able to talk to each other, but also as a finance person or as a HR person being able to pull up dashboards, things like headcount analysis, things like performance across teams or across individuals or across products, being able to forecast different aspects with workforce management, being able to understand, okay, I need like three people here at this at this 00;15;29;00 - 00;15;54;22 job site for this season, right? Because it's going to be very busy. We need more staff. So being able to have those actionable insights from across the business, whether it's coming from projects or whether it's coming from the HR side as a finance person is really important. And that's what SuitePeople provides with the unification of it being together, And the last having the data integrity—data integrity and data privacy. 00;15;54;22 - 00;16;17;27 So everything is in one solution. You're not having to import data sensitive data like employee data across different solutions. It's all within NetSuite, all protected. So this helps with the privacy, the security aspect, and integrity. You're not having a duplication of data, right? There's one source of truth. You go to NetSuite, you check an employee record, you check the financials, etc. All of it is within one system. 00;16;17;27 - 00;16;49;15 So that's really the power of having a unified in those three, those three elements, really. How has the product grown to support NetSuite Financial customers over the years? Yeah, so SuitePeople really started out with payroll and HR. And we've grown and added performance management and workforce management and really grown alongside with our customers. I mean, now we process 6 billion annually in payroll transactions across thousands of employees. 00;16;49;17 - 00;17;18;23 We're really very much ramping up as we'll see in this update around workforce management and around providing a more complete HR solution for our customers with things like benefits offering and benefits solution. So, it's very much improved with financials as well and NetSuite Financials to offer deeper analytics reporting features that help understand workforce costs, productivity, products for locations. 00;17;18;23 - 00;17;47;01 Right. Being able to understand where the demand is from the business and that comes from things like compensation, planning, performance management, and understanding the whole aspect of your business. And at the same time from an employee side is we've really grown to offer employees more of the self-service capabilities. So this is allowing them to get the information that they need at the time that they need it without having to go to HR. 00;17;47;03 - 00;18;11;00 Unknown Without having to bother or really distract business folks from focusing on more impactful tasks to ask for things like a payslip or to ask for things like time off or schedule around that. Right. So workforce management allows for that. We have the self-service portals in in HR to allow you to access payroll slips, etc. Right. Let's get to the good stuff. 00;18;11;02 - 00;18;43;08 What enhancements are coming to SuitePeople in 2024 Release 2? Yeah. So for workforce management, we have two really key enhancements coming and one of those is around being able to track to multiple time fields, right? So this is going to allow businesses to understand not just by, for example, a location or a team or a product, but to be able to dive even deeper into how employees are spending their time, where are the labor costs coming from? 00;18;43;10 - 00;19;26;03 For example, you are running, let's say, a coffee shop, right? Where are your employees spending the most time? Cleaning, making the coffee, talking with customers, whatever it may be. Being able to log those times across multiple time fields now allows you to understand where maybe you need more support. For example, another is like a contracting business, right? Where you have multiple people working on building a house, people who are doing the platform, the foundation, the concrete, who are building, the paint, the electrical, all the different stuff that you have within a project, being able to map across how many hours are being spent on which item, on which project, on which task is really 00;19;26;09 - 00;19;52;18 impactful for our customers now being able to use that and to map to different fields. And the second is around really enabling compliance for our customers. So being able to ensure that employees take their full break. So this is like a early break prevention enhancement where employees now will take their full break and cannot clock back in until their break is completed. 00;19;52;18 - 00;20;24;24 And this is important for a lot of states that will penalize businesses if employees don't take their full half an hour, hour, whatever the regulation is. So this is a this is really powerful enhancements for the workforce management product we offer customers. And then from an HR administrator viewpoint, we now have a benefits partner so we now can offer customers benefits, enrollment, and brokerage services through our benefits partner, Simply Insured. 00;20;24;24 - 00;20;49;06 Unknown And all of this is within NetSuite. So it's all within the NetSuite interface. Employees don't have to go outside of NetSuite to sign up and to enroll in and benefits. And, at the backend, the payroll is deducted. So any costs that come from an employee signing up for a benefits plan, they can see that reflected automatically in their in their payroll as a deduction. 00;20;49;06 - 00;21;09;06 Unknown And then from a financial standpoint, you can see as a finance person, the GL showing the costs of how much benefits costs, how much each plan even is costing the business, and being able to optimize. Are a lot of employees using this plan? No, but it's also costing a lot. Okay. Maybe we should look at offering other plans for employees. 00;21;09;06 - 00;21;43;12 So that's the two big enhancements or three I guess two for workforce management and one for as a new partnership with benefits that we have in 24.2. How does this help businesses monitor and track rising labor costs? Because that's a that's a huge issue for our customers. Yeah. So for SuitePeople, especially with the workforce management, I'll talk on that because this is really where, as I was saying earlier, it's going to provide visibility into so many different components of the workforce—when they clock in, where they're clocking in to, where they tracking their time to. 00;21;43;12 - 00;22;06;03 So being able to understand the different components of expenses, wages, overtime, anything that they're spending extra time on. So being able to identify cost trends and being able to budget and forecast ahead. So saying, okay, these projects are taking our employees way longer. Or these tasks or this assembly line or this product is taking double the time that it should. 00;22;06;03 - 00;22;42;16 And now we're accruing overtime, let's put more employees on that or maybe let's adjust how we're moving forward as a business and a business strategy for that product or project or offerings and services. Right? So it's going to help businesses really dig down deeper into what labor costs are affecting their growth. And this can happen from so many different fields that are that are within NetSuite of time fields and being able to map to those as an employee when you clock in and being able to say what you're doing at certain hour and time is going to really help businesses monitor and track where their labor costs are. 00;22;42;18 - 00;23;04;20 Now, how do these enhancements help employees and perhaps also help businesses? Anything that you might have not have mentioned so far? Yeah, so I've talked a lot about businesses and the organizational side of it with finance and HR. For employees, there's a lot of great enhancements with this. I mean, it's going to provide a lot greater transparency and access to their HR. 00;23;04;21 - 00;23;45;09 Information. So, for benefits, for example, being able to have that that solution as a business to offer to your employees so that they can access health benefits through their employer is really empowering to them. They're going to be able to enroll and access and view different plans all within NetSuite. Right. So that's really impactful. And again, all the self-service that comes with SuitePeople, right, being able to have the self-service to understand what your pay is, understand where maybe you need to update some personal information to reflect accurately, and being able to request time off, understand your scheduling and schedule within workforce management. 00;23;45;09 - 00;24;10;02 All great, really empowering aspects and enhancements for employees. From the business standpoint, a lot of this, again is streamlining the processes across HR and finance. So what you're doing from the workforce management standpoint with the time fields is understanding, okay, people are clocking in, they're aligning their time to certain tasks and projects. From a finance standpoint, where do we want to adjust the budget? 00;24;10;02 - 00;24;35;17 Where do we want to move forward in terms of adjusting how our workforce is operating from teams to products to focus? Right. And all of this is just really helping HR become more strategic in terms of how they operate and allowing finance to get to gain greater visibility in terms of the costs and how the workforce is operating so they can better optimize budgets and really grow revenue. 00;24;35;19 - 00;25;06;20 NetSuite by Oracle, the number one cloud financial system, is everything you need to grow all in one place. Financials, inventory, HR, and more. Make better decisions faster so you can do more and spend less. See how at NetSuite.com/pod. Next, we have Peter Bouyounan, an industry solution advisor at NetSuite. Peter will walk through the biggest new supply chain and manufacturing features in NetSuite 2024.2, explaining how they can help businesses reduce costs and increase productivity. 00;25;06;22 - 00;25;32;19 So, Peter, to start, could you just share what are some of the key goals for manufacturers when it comes to production? Sure. One of the key goals in the manufacturing process is really to optimize the inventory levels. What I mean by that is to produce enough to meet your demand without having a lot of excess. So, at the end of the day, you're maximizing output with minimal waste. 00;25;32;21 - 00;26;00;29 And for a lot of manufacturers, what they're trying to do is ensure steady flow of raw material and components. You know, they're trying to streamline their process and just make sure their production time is reduced. They just need the flexibility to be able to adapt to any changes from the demand, like what their customers are demanding or even from production requirements. 00;26;01;01 - 00;26;38;24 And I know in this Release 2024.2, there's some new functionality around aligning supply and demand in NetSuite. Could you could you tell us a little bit more about what we what we've added to support that? Yeah, a couple things actually. Supply planning updates, we've done and there's three new SuiteApps to support that as well. With the supply planning, that's going to give customers the ability to increase their accuracy and control of the supply planning quantities, their minimum order quantities, and their lot sizing. 00;26;38;25 - 00;27;09;12 It's combined now to ensure proper quantities are ordered. So it's really merging the two together. So there's options there that they have at the end of the day that supports the right number of products and raw materials that are available. So that update is done to the supply planning. And then we have a few new SuiteApps that's going to support them as well. 00;27;09;14 - 00;27;47;22 There's NetSuite Supply 360. That's essentially just viewing the manufacturing component requirements when you get the work order, you get you get a visibility of the ability to review the levels of component inventory for upcoming work orders. So that's going to give you a better way to plan as well. It's, you know, Supply 360, so you're getting to see the whole 360-degree view of your manufacturing and the components that are required. 00;27;47;24 - 00;28;09;13 In addition to that, that really complements it as well, is Available to Build. So that's going to give you a view and it gives customers answers to see how many more of an assembly can be produced. It's based on the current inventory, so they're able to see that inventory and then they can see how many we produce. 00;28;09;13 - 00;28;35;00 A lot of times you see those requirements from customers as they have a work order and have certain raw material quantity and they can produce more than what's required since visually, if you can see the machinery is working right. Once you have a set up and you start working, you don't want to stop just because you supported the work order, right? 00;28;35;01 - 00;28;57;01 You have enough to do a work order, but you can go ahead and continue having available to build. You can see that perhaps you can run a little bit more and have that in stock if necessary, as opposed to just shutting down. And then now you have this raw material sitting. So that helps most customers in that regard. 00;28;57;01 - 00;29;24;27 And then very important aspect of everything is the cost, right? So we have a cost variance analysis that's going to take actual cost versus what you planned. So if you have a work order and you know what your planned cost is, now you can run a report to see what that variance and see the actual cost. And that's going to help customers identify, you know, where the actual cost landed. 00;29;25;00 - 00;29;52;20 Are they up or are they down? Great. Yeah, lots of exciting stuff there. And how can our customers access these new SuiteApps? So in general, the SuiteApps are either on the tab or, what I do typically, is search on the global bar for SuiteApps and you can see, view, browse, search for these apps and install them or they can go to SuiteApp.com in the marketplace. 00;29;52;20 - 00;30;19;03 You know, they can visit that in a lot of times if they're already, you know, NetSuite customers, those users can have access directly from the NetSuite instance. And these are at no cost to customers. Right. And are there any modules they need to have in place to access these SuiteApps? So the SuiteApps that we just discussed, those three: Supply 360, Available to Build, and the Cost Variance Analysis are actually free to download. 00;30;19;05 - 00;30;36;21 There is a prerequisite for them. It's Work Orders & Assemblies. And just keep in mind that you can you can check with your account manager and they can they'll help you navigate through it as well. So let's shift gears a little bit and talk about the production process itself and how NetSuite plays into that. 00;30;36;22 - 00;31;04;19 So NetSuite has done a lot of work to make production and warehouse processes executable directly from a mobile device. Could you tell us about new enhancements in this release when it comes to mobile functionality? Just want to go back a little bit about mobile. Mobile apps, they support multiple efforts our customers have been asking for. For one, it's paperless and it's physically flexible, hence the mobile aspect of it. 00;31;04;21 - 00;31;47;02 But you're not tied down to having a desk station for every workstation. And that's why we're putting so much effort into our mobile applications. The SCM mobile, what we've done is put printers that can be grouped into print groups that's going to allow the user to select a printer based on a print group preference so that the user will see a list of printers based on the group they selected. That's going to help them, you know, quite a bit to not be tied down to a specific printer, but then they can select which printer they want to print to. 00;31;47;04 - 00;32;18;10 Hence since it's mobile. In addition to that with the SCM Mobile, you have condition based coloring so you can color data tables and rows. That's going to give the user a quick way to distinguish rows of data. Right. So if you got order released, that may look, you know, could be in green. If the work order is in process, it could be yellow. If it's planned, it's in red. 00;32;18;17 - 00;32;47;19 Just to kind of give you a little bit of visual of what it would look like. And then the Manufacturing Mobile. So the enhancement there is that employees now can clock in and clock out with their badge. So that will provide actual machine and labor time on a specific operation on a step. And then Manufacturing Mobile as well has a GS-1 barcode. 00;32;47;21 - 00;33;19;23 So that's an enhancement to allow you to scan a lot or a serial number. And a big one that our customers have always been asking for is to have like an auto-generate lot or serial number and that's a SuiteApp and it's integrated with the Manufacturing Mobile as well. The third one I mentioned was the quality management and so the capabilities for that. 00;33;19;25 - 00;33;50;20 Unknown Inspection has been enhanced. It's going to give the user more control with like a parent transaction on inventory inspection so they can perform on-demand inspections. This includes like inventory quantities and decimals. And then that's very helpful for a lot of our customers in the food and beverage industry as well. And then there's compliance control, visibility of inspection results. 00;33;50;22 - 00;34;22;21 So that's all going to be it's more of visual information on hand. And then lastly with that is the ability to navigate between inventory transaction and inspection queues. So you're you have now both as well. Great. And could you remind everyone where they can where they can access these mobile apps and if they if they cost anything and what NetSuite modules customers may need to have to use them. 00;34;22;24 - 00;34;47;07 Yeah. So mobile apps in general are available on any iOS or Apple products or Android devices. You know, you can search for NetSuite and download the app. So it's, in general, high level to get the mobile app. But the manufacturing mobile is actually a free bundle. It does require Work Orders & Assemblies. So there is a prerequisite for that. 00;34;47;09 - 00;35;19;18 Unknown The SCM mobile, it's really is a framework which Manufacturing Mobile is built on. But to use the functionality within, you need a manufacturing module license. And then the quality management is also a licensed bundle. And that will require inventory management. So the mobile application is available through the SCM Mobile as well. And then one other area I want to touch on is Ship Central. 00;35;19;18 - 00;35;49;14 So Ship Central helps businesses fulfill orders with packing and shipping functionality. What's new with Ship Central in this release to make those packing and shipping processes even easier? Yeah. So again, I want to go back just a little bit from the last fiscal year. Ship Central in general adds real-time integration to partial shipping carriers. These features, like they give you real time rate shopping. 00;35;49;17 - 00;36;18;27 It's integrated shipping labels. You could do address validation to make sure that you were capturing the right address with, of course, the ability to void labels as well. So that was an enhancement that we've done in the past. And now what we've done, we've got usability improvements. So we added more to this functionality we had with Ship Central, and now you can automatically select the cheapest shipping method. 00;36;19;00 - 00;36;47;20 Instead of having a list and trying to figure out yourself, it will provide you that information. Print return labels. So if you have anything that came through, as we talked about just a minute ago in regards to the quality management and if you see something that needs to be returned, that can be done with the same carrier that came in, or you can choose a different carrier as well. 00;36;47;23 - 00;37;13;22 It depends on the cost factor for you. You can create, print, you can create and print hazmat labels. So those are great, especially for the United States Postal Service or DHL. You know, they have their own standards. So being able to do that, you can comply with their standards and operators can pack items by searching and grouping orders with the wave number. 00;37;13;25 - 00;37;41;01 So that makes it really convenient. Awesome. And how can our customers access Ship Central? What do they need? Or how can they take advantage of some of these new capabilities? Ship Central is great because actually if you have WMS, it would be included with it. Okay. But it's not reliant on NetSuite WMS. So it can be used with or without WMIS and it can be a standalone. 00;37;41;04 - 00;38;10;13 Well, lots of exciting stuff here, Peter, and I appreciate you walking me through it. Thanks to you. Thanks for your time. Now let's take a deeper dive into the enhancements around NetSuite SuitteBilling in 2024 Release 2. We have Jessica Turnpenny, group manager of product management at NetSuite, joining us next to cover how several new pieces of functionality and in NetSuite SuiteBilling will help ease subscription management. 00;38;10;16 - 00;38;52;18 We hear that subscription based business models are becoming increasingly popular. Many businesses benefit from the recurring revenue and increased growth and profitability. But what are some of the challenges that businesses face when they're trying to manage subscription revenue and billing models? Subscriptions have tons of advantages, but when you start having high volumes of recurring billing, it becomes unmanageable unless you're able to automate it, and especially if you have complexities around contract modifications and it becomes really hard and cumbersome for teams to manage all of those changes and make sure that it's accurate and as well. 00;38;52;18 - 00;39;23;12 Revenue recognition for subscription billing is very specific and so it can also be really hard for revenue teams to make sure that the way that they're recognizing their subscription revenue is accurate. And all of those things become more complicated with subscription billing because you're billing in a recurring way, not just a single one-off invoice. So yeah, it can be hard, especially at high volumes. For those who are new to NetSuite or could use maybe a little bit of a refresher. 00;39;23;14 - 00;40;02;16 Can you share some information about SuiteBilling? What is it and what does it do? So SuiteBilling is NetSuite's subscription billing module. And what SuiteBilling does is it really simplifies and automates the management of subscription billing for our customers. The module supports one-time, recurring, and consumption or usage based billing. So we support flat, tiered volume based pricing, you know, time based discounts, free trials, you know, all of the complex sort of ways that you can price in a subscription model. 00;40;02;16 - 00;40;27;13 And we try and simplify that for you to be able to configure it using subscription plans. You can make that really easy to get up and running in a repeatable and accurate way. We automate all of those recurring type subscription invoice bulk runs for you so that can all be automated. It doesn't have to be triggered in any way. 00;40;27;16 - 00;40;55;12 We also have a really powerful rating engine that supports the proration associated with contract modifications as it has a really deep integration into our Advanced Revenue Management module. So it also seamlessly integrates with that module and automates all of your revenue recognition for your subscriptions. So it's a really powerful subscription billing product. We hear a new feature is coming. 00;40;55;12 - 00;41;41;09 To Suite Billing in release 2024.2. What can you tell us about it? So in 2042.2, we are releasing our prepay with drawdown feature, and that feature will allow our customers to receive a pre-payment for whatever specified amount and then be able to draw down or consume that prepayment across multiple subscription lines within that subscription. So you could take a prepayment for a set amount and then as your customer consumes whatever subscription products you've sold them, as they consume those, it burns down the prepayment. 00;41;41;11 - 00;42;10;19 Now, how would customers be invoiced in cases like this? So they're invoiced for the prepayment upfront. And then subsequent invoices, they see how that prepayment is consumed or burned down, and they also see what's left of that prepayment. So that initial invoices is that upfront payment and then subsequent invoices are more communications on how that's being consumed. 00;42;10;22 - 00;42;39;02 Unknown What's exactly the added benefit of being able to record prepayment within SuiteBilling? So being able to record those prepayments allows our customers to speed up cash flow. You have an upfront prepayment and but you get the advantage of consumption billing. So traditional usage based or consumption billing is billed in arrears as it's used. And customers really love that model. 00;42;39;02 - 00;43;07;18 So you get the advantage of that consumption based model, but you reduce the risk by having the upfront cash flow. So you have that prepayment in hand and then it can be reupped or you can recharge that prepayment at any time. So it does give customers that reduced risk with the great, you know, consumption-based model. And perhaps the most important question, how soon will customers be able to use this feature? 00;43;07;20 - 00;43;35;03 It is being released in our 2024.2 NetSuite release. It's all very exciting. Plenty of new capabilities for our customers to look forward to in 2024 4.2. And the best part is they can access this new functionality and start reaping the benefits right now. For sure. I really appreciate how the new features cut across so many areas. 00;43;35;06 - 00;43;55;09 Financials and accounting, supply chain manufacturing, HR, There's something here for so many different roles across a variety of companies. And a quick reminder, if you want to dive deeper into any of the new functionalities we cover today, we have links to our release blogs in the description of this episode. Thank you so much to all our guests for joining us today. 00;43;55;11 - 00;44;16;27 Thank you to all you listeners tuning in.

NetSuite is hosting SuiteWorld, the annual gathering of users, partners, developers, consultants, and anyone else affiliated with the NetSuite universe. It's been a busy year in ERP in general, NetSuite in particular. There are now over 37,000 companies running on NetSuite – phenomenal growth. Around 2019? They had just broken the 18,000 companies on NetSuite mark – so the user community has doubled in 4 years, or 3 years plus a Covid timeout. Anyway – SuiteWorld attendance is critically important for top performing NetSuite-using Companies. Even more important for companies not yet using NetSuite. Why is that you ask? Why would you go to a users conference if you're not a user. Here's the story. New to ERP, clients are looking at ERP, considering which ones to select. User conferences in general are a great idea. I mean, everyone wants references – demos are really great, but not great reality. You want to see real-life examples. Well, there's about 3,000 users at NetSuite you could talk to. Does NetSuite really work as advertised? You're going to see lots of companies, who, at one time were exactly where you are. How does this work? And the answer is two-fold – it doesn't work like you think it would, and two, if you follow the process, just like these 3,000 folks did, you too will get there. Is it worth it? The majority of the folks at SuiteWorld will tell you they wished they'd started sooner. The rest got into NetSuite as a startup – mostly because they'd used it at a former employer already. Another critical thing we've learned from past clients. About a third of ERP failures can be attributed to implementation fatigue – and we're talking the entire system up and running but features they expected and wanted, well, doesn't really work. Truth is, It gets hard at the very end of an implementation and it's been a long haul to get there, and the internal team often quits at the 5 yard line – says something like ‘well, the software really doesn't work like it did in the demos'. When the issue is, yes, it does work, but not the way YOU'RE trying to do it. So having the opportunity to actually see the intended functionality working for other companies – your internal team will realize that yes, we can do this if they did it – there is a way. And they take the ball from the 5 and push it over the goal line. If you're already running NetSuite, then it's even more important to get to SuiteWorld. You'll find out first-hand all about the new developments being released this year. Even get a chance to see demonstrations and some hands-on labs working with new features. Plus there's the best-in-class Presentations. Other companies who use NetSuite, who have seen tremendous results, telling you exactly how they did it. You can ask them questions, take notes, get handouts, follow up with the product leaders from NetSuite – why they designed it that way, how it works best. Then there's everything else. All the affiliated software products, apps, programs, platforms, portals – everything that works with and around NetSuite. Might not be something you're doing this year, but you learn about it and next year, when Management tells you your department needs to...

Automation and localization can both lighten the load for businesses in different ways. Without proper localization, a company may find one of its subsidiaries in breach of a regional tax code or data competency requirement. Without automation, businesses can languish with manual tasks and find themselves unable to expand and achieve the kind of worldwide growth for which they are aiming.The onset of AI has also changed this equation dramatically, crossing over with both automation and localization and bringing its fundamental implementation curve.In this episode, recorded live at SuiteWorld 2023, Rory is joined by James Chisham, VP of product management at NetSuite, to give examples of where automation and localization have been used to address business problems, and to question where AI can fit in the mix.For more information:NetSuite aims to be a ‘global local solution', set to double down on automationNetSuite aims to bolster finance teams with new AI planning toolsOracle unveils ‘sovereign cloud' region for EU customers amid lingering sovereignty worriesSlack says automation can save every employee a month of work per year

And while I'm gearing up for my first trip to Vegas in three years for Oracle CloudWorld, Hurricane Ian kept me from getting there a couple of weeks ago for Oracle NetSuite's SuiteWorld conference. SuiteWorld is a conference I've attended a number of times over the years, and with it being physically back I was looking forward to sitting down with company founder and Oracle EVP Evan Goldberg face-to-face for a conversation, instead of virtually for the past two years. But I was appreciative that even during this year's event, Evan made time for another virtual conversation on LinkedIn Live, as I was really curious about his perspective on the current economic uncertainties of the economy – and what it means for the 32,000 small and midsize enterprises using his company's platform to run their businesses on.

NetSuite positioneert zich al jaren als een ERP-speler voor de mid-market. Op zich een prima strategie, maar wat is nu precies de mid-market? Die definitie is in Nederland heel anders dan in de Verenigde Staten. We brachten vorige maand een bezoek aan SuiteWorld, de jaarlijkse conferentie van NetSuite en dat was een mooi moment om die vraag te beantwoorden. Iets wat uiteindelijk nog een stuk lastiger bleek te zijn dan we hadden verwachten.Wat we kunnen verklappen is dat veel organisaties die nu tegen de limieten van hun Exact of AFAS ERP aanlopen, hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook prima met NetSuite in zee kunnen. Verder bespreken we uiteraard wat er is aangekondigd, hoe NetSuite zich verhoudt tot de concurrentie. Al met al een grote update rondom NetSuite.

Vinay kicks things off by covering what ACS is (3:32) and why it benefits NetSuite customers (6:13). He explains the difference between our Learning Cloud Support (LCS) Company Pass (8:53) and why the two are a “power couple” for NetSuite users (11:48). He also dives into ACS Playbooks (14:10) and the major business areas they cover, including global expansion, financial planning, supply chain management and more (16:38), and how all of this meets the unique business needs of our customers (19:42) and helps them navigate a changing business environment (23:10). Then, Sitecore's Madison Farnsworth joins to provide a real-life ACS use case (28:42). After explaining a bit more about Sitecore, Madison reveals some of its unique business challenges (30:11) and how NetSuite helps to solve them (32:02). Sitecore implemented NetSuite using a partner in 2014, and when Madison entered the business in 2021 (having implemented NetSuite four times prior), she walked into some major configuration issues around intercompany accounting, Dunning Letters, advanced revenue management and more (33:34). She decided to partner with ACS to avoid a complete reimplementation, which not only solved these challenges (39:05), but helped Sitecore leverage new functionality, most notably electronic bank payments (45:45). The experience, she says, “Exceeded all expectations” (52:50). Tune in to hear the full story! Like what you learned?

Channel Masters are very entrepreneurial in how they think and approach problem solving. In fact, when they have a problem they can’t find solutions for, they build the solutions themselves. That scrappy approach is what makes us inherently nimble. Roy Steves, my guest on today’s episode, is one scrappy problem-solver, and his client base is grateful for that. In this episode, you’ll hear right from the beginning - the founder’s story of Roy’s company Statbid, that he ushered in a new approach to paid search, one that put the client first. That approach is more appreciated in 2020 than ever before for Statbid’s clients. Why? Well, Roy calls 2020 the year of irrelevant data. You need to know what he means by that, and in this episode he goes deep on why it’s important and how to act on that fact. What’s in this episode is mission critical for marketers as they enter the last quarters of this challenging year. You’re about to witness the earliest onslaught ever of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Holiday 2020 promotion and yes, Roy has advice on how to set a plan that will get your brand through in fine style. Roy also points out that going direct to consumer is no longer an added bonus, but an absolute for brands and retailers meeting the needs and expectations of today’s changing consumer. We discuss what’s working best today for online discovery and traction building and explore actionable steps you can take to prepare your business for the upcoming Q3 and Q4 of 2020, as we continue to work through COVID-19 and the unexpected changes of 2020. Roy Steves is the co-founder of StatBid, a paid search agency specializing in direct to consumer and retail eCommerce brands. Previously, he had been CMO of PoolSupplyWorld, where he started as a web developer in 2010, but struck gold designing and implementing marketing and attribution systems, then building a marketing and merchandising team, ultimately doubling the business in just two years. This led, in 2013, to an acquisition by Leslie's Pool Supplies, the largest retail chain in their industry. During this period, he was a regular speaker at eCommerce conferences (eTail East and West, SuiteWorld, StatBid Summit) and podcast guest , where he thrived on conversations with fellow eCommerce operators. StatBid, founded in 2015, is the perfect vehicle for assembling an unrivaled team of experts, helping build eCommerce businesses, and talking shop.
