I Need a Shower: The Full NetSuite Experience
I'm a Consulting CIO that helps growing companies move to modern ERP platforms, with experience running NAV/BC in my past roles. Often that ERP selection comes down to a decision between NetSuite and Business Central. I've also helped clients already running NetSuite navigate their renewals and performance issues. All of that has provided valuable insights into how NetSuite goes to market and has helped develop my cautions to clients about choosing them as their strategic business partner. In this session, I'll provide real-world examples and experiences with NetSuite and Oracle in the sales and renewal processes for anyone who wants insider information on the client experience, with an aim to equipping Microsoft partners as they go up against Oracle in the market.
Speakers:
David Wheat
I'm Owner and Principal Consultant of alt-CIO Consulting, a fractional CIO and IT leadership consulting service. I bring a career's worth of IT leadership experience to help growing companies.
Career IT leader who now consults with growing companies as a fractional CIO. I've worked internationally on ERP projects for the (at the time) Fortune 1 company in the world. The last several years of my career were spent at mid-market companies using NAV / BC. I fell in love with both BC and the dynamics of smaller companies and have built my consulting company to help these growing organizations.
