Step-up financial visibility, gain deeper insights.

Unlike traditional reporting methods that focus on one-dimensional metrics, such as revenue or expenses, multidimensional reporting takes into account various factors that impact overall performance.

Join us for a demonstration to discover the power of NetSuite’s multidimensional financial reporting capabilities, including:
- Streamline the Chart of Accounts while increasing analytical detail.
- Define multiple dimensions or segments for each account.

Worsening climate change, the 2022 energy crisis, and growing attention on ESG and sustainability are just a few of the drivers propelling more companies to invest in renewable energies. As organisations, especially energy-intensive ones, look to mitigate against volatile energy prices, tightening sustainability regulations, and alternative revenue streams, how they operate in increasingly disrupted energy markets will only become more complex.
 
To succeed in the renewable energy space, these companies need tools they may not have leveraged in the past, as well as operational models that provide the flexibility needed to manage intermittent energy resources (foremost solar and wind). These solutions will need to provide real-time visibility and related insights for decision-making.
 
Real-time visibility of business financials and unification of back-office operations are two of the key benefits that technology, such as cloud ERP, can have on businesses to fuel innovation, drive sustainable growth, and make decisions faster.
 
Watch this session as guest speakers from IDC and Oracle NetSuite, discuss:
• Current renewable energy market trends and challenges.
• The impact of energy transition for businesses.
• The key roles played by finance and operations during this transformation.
• Benefits of embracing software to support this change.

Why Cloud ERP is Critical for Growth with Businesses Utilising Renewable Energy

Building the Right Implementation Team: Unlock the full potential of your ERP project.

Organisations choose to implement an ERP system for many reasons; including to increase productivity, create a better experience for customers, and reduce costs. An ERP system can eliminate many spreadsheet-based processes because it provides a unified set of business process tools and a single database with information from across the business that everyone uses.

But because an ERP system affects so many aspects of the business, the implementation of the software can be a large and lengthy project. It’s common for an implementation to take a few months, and it often takes large businesses even longer to go live. Mistakes in planning or implementation, such as poorly defined goals or requirements, can cause further delays.

Watch this webinar where we will dive deeper into the topic of ERP implementation, providing you with expert guidance and practical strategies to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Our speakers will discuss:
- Choosing a clear project methodology for your ERP implementation.
- Building the right implementation team: Why is it so important?
- Key roles and responsibilities.
- How a successful implementation project is key to unlocking the value of your system early.

- Important, but hard to measure KPIs.
- Specific areas where finance can engage with the wider business.
- Early warning indicators to help create actionable signals for your metrics.
- Best practices for working with non-finance functions.

Oracle NetSuite webinar: "How AI Can Accelerate and Improve Financial and Operational Planning"

Discover more insights faster, speed up data analysis.

The foundation of business planning is dependent on the accuracy and completeness of the data that is available. Unfortunately, the data used for planning is often in spreadsheets and separate systems that involve manually collecting, consolidating the data, analyzing it, then generating reports. These manual processes are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, particularly when working with large datasets.

Join this product demonstration webinar to learn how artificial intelligent (AI) predictive planning capabilities in NetSuite Planning and Budgeting can:
- Consolidate and automate planning processes, so finance teams can quickly and easily forecast, scenario plan, and report with one solution.
- Enhance and accelerate data analysis by using AI predictive algorithms to continually monitor and analyze plans, forecasts, and variances.
- Quickly analyze large amounts of data so finance can take faster actions on insights.
- Improve data accuracy by uncovering trends, anomalies, biases, and hidden correlations.
