Nowadays, AI has increasingly become a part of the modern way of life. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed business, helping organizations automate tasks, cut costs, and make better decisions more quickly and accurately than ever. Integrating AI capabilities into enterprise resource planning systems such as NetSuite can optimize performance for higher productivity and a competitive edge.Â
As the industry-leading cloud ERP provider, NetSuite strives to remain ahead of the game by incorporating Generative AI technology into its software portfolio. This innovative technology will empower both solution providers and end-users to achieve cost reduction without compromising privacy or security; intelligent processes help eliminate manual labor while automating repetitive tasks, allowing users to save time, reduce risks of errors, and focus on growth-critical responsibilities more easily than before.Â
Oracle NetSuite unveiled several AI-powered features at SuiteWorld this year, including Text Enhance, an AI language model-based service that utilizes contextual and personalized content drafted based on starter words to quickly reduce writing tasks such as letters, reports, and marketing messages. Text Enhance is being introduced across HR, finance, supply chain, and sales modules of NetSuite as well as into Bill Capture to automatically categorize expenses based on past history.Â
At the same time, several machine learning-based tools are also being introduced to streamline different aspects of ERP implementation and hasten its benefits faster – this includes speeding up data migration, improving transaction processing accuracy, and creating an exceptional user experience. To take full advantage of these tools and reach their full potential requires working with a reputable NetSuite implementation partner who can identify compelling use cases, guide technology selection and deployment efforts, and assist with making a smooth transition to this platform.Â
