At its annual SuiteWorld event in Las Vegas, NetSuite outlined the next-generation ERP NetSuite Next and the direction of autonomous systems. Shibuya Yuki (渋谷 由貴), who oversees Japan, explained the company's domestic strategy.
NetSuite held SuiteWorld in Las Vegas, Nevada, from 25 to 28 October U.S. time, alongside Oracle AI World. At the event, the company outlined the evolution of NetSuite Next and the direction of autonomous systems, and presented three pillars for its Japan strategy.
Shibuya Yuki (渋谷 由貴) explained that the role of ERP is evolving from a system of record to supporting prediction and execution. NetSuite plans to provide AI solutions for small and midsize businesses and startups, with AI handling execution while people focus on verification and decision-making. Shibuya identified labor shortages and fragmented data as challenges for Japanese customers.
The three pillars of the Japan strategy are (1) expanding product value and extending products horizontally, (2) expanding industry-specific templates, and (3) expanding the ecosystem. The company introduced the new FIELD SERVICE MANAGEMENT and BANK FEEDS products. BANK FEEDS was developed to reflect requests from Japan.
Eight new implementation partners were added as part of a new ecosystem initiative, and the roles of NetSuite Next and AI CONNECTOR in the evolution of AI use were explained. Free use of QuickStart has already begun in the United States, with availability in Japan expected in 2027.
