Image via CrunchBaseNetSuite, the on-demand ERP software vendor, is most likely to make a very major announcement, probably promoting the company to the status of large enterprises scheduled this Tuesday, during its SuiteWorld user conference taking place in San Francisco. This promotion of the company dubbed as ‘NetSuite Unlimited,’ announcement will be less of a new single agreement or a product release statement, but it is more likely to be a series of partnerships, services, applications and technology improvements which will be aimed to meet the demands of the world's biggest companies.
Image via WikipediaThis step from NetSuite, simply demonstrates the transition of company from the small and medium-sized businesses (SMD) which it was considered since its formation in 1998, towards a larger status. One of these announcements scheduled, is related to the partnership of NetSuite Unlimited with services firm Accenture. C.E.O. of NetSuite, Zach Nelson, was giving an interview when he informed that Accenture has created an ERP (enterprise resource planning) practice around NetSuite's software.
Secondly, NetSuite will also announce its initial roll out of Oracle's Exadata database machine, beginning from its own data center, and consequently working in collaboration with the company's existing data center operations, Nelson said. Moreover he explained that in that data center, Exadata is expected to support the larger NetSuite customers' application instances, along with providing more resource-intensive workloads such as e-commerce.
NetSuite will not try to replace the companies like SAP and Oracle, as large enterprises' primary ERP system. The analysts elaborate rather the company will be serving as the second pillar of a "two-tier" ERP strategy, in which the software will be deployed in an SAP or Oracle shop's new subsidiaries or offices around the world, being tied back again to the main ERP core.
Furthermore, Qualcomm has also agreed to acquire the services of NetSuite to some extent, as it might also be announcement on Tuesday. The V.P. of Qualcomm’s IT Dep., Peter Rubenacker, said in a stated that the softwares of NetSuite "present us with an opportunity to begin centralizing some parts of our e-commerce systems and further streamlining the management process.” And that’s not it; NetSuite is further considering negotiating signing exclusive deals with famous e-commerce company. Groupon. The "deal-of-the-day" from the website might be allowed to go live on NetSuite, in its 26 international markets, "replacing hundreds of spreadsheets with a single cloud ERP system.”
