Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans

Oracle NetSuite's Evan Goldberg Why the Future of ERP Is AI-First | Cloud Wars Live


Listen Later

Evan Goldberg, Founder and Executive Vice President at Oracle NetSuite, sits down with Bob Evans for a conversation about the company’s next chapter: NetSuite Next. He describes how AI will make business management simpler and more intuitive, allowing users to automate tasks, ask natural-language questions, and customize their systems with ease. Goldberg shares his vision of NetSuite evolving from a cloud pioneer into an AI-first platform built to power the next generation of enterprise growth.

Where ERP Thinks Back

The Big Themes:

  • NetSuite Next as a Hands-On AI Partner: NetSuite Next isn’t just layering AI on top of old systems, it’s embedding intelligence directly into the platform. Instead of hunting through menus, users can say, “Analyze sales for the past six months,” and get an instant, interactive response. The idea is to move from manual navigation to guided collaboration. This shift redefines usability for ERP.
  • Customization and Agentic Flexibility: NetSuite Next extends Oracle’s agentic AI vision by letting businesses build custom AI agents that automate unique internal workflows. Goldberg highlights three pillars of NetSuite: the suite’s breadth, its deep industry specialization, and its adaptability to each business’s unique needs. The AI doesn’t erase distinct business models; it amplifies them.
  • Strength in Oracle’s Ecosystem: As part of Oracle, NetSuite now sits atop one of the world’s most advanced technology stacks. Goldberg credits Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the unified data model, and the Redwood design system as key differentiators against rivals. He emphasizes collaboration with Oracle Fusion, OCI, and the database teams as a unique advantage.

The Big Quote: “You don’t have to dig through lots of menus and understand all of the analytics capabilities… it will be able to quickly bring up an analysis for you, and then you can converse in natural language to hone in on the things that you think are most important."
