For more than 20 years, Oracle NetSuite has helped organizations grow, scale and adapt to change. NetSuite provides an integrated system that includes financials / Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), inventory management, HR, professional services automation and omnichannel commerce, used by more than 24,000 customers in 203 countries and dependent territories.

Oracle NetSuite webinar: Building an ERP business case.

As an ERP standardises, unifies, and automates critical business processes like selling and order management, billing and collection, inventory management, supply chain management, financial management, and more, implementing it is both an exciting and serious undertaking that takes time and resources to accomplish effectively.

More organisations considering an ERP implementation must therefore build an ERP business case that goes beyond outlining pain points and into the overarching benefits of an ERP. The business case is a board-level document that details the financial justification and formally outlines the costs, benefits, and organisational impacts of such an implementation, along with the opportunities, risks, and implications on the strategic direction of the business.

If your company is not yet enjoying the benefits of a modern ERP, the first step is to build a business case that clearly illustrates the benefits, costs, opportunities, and risks of launching an implementation project.

View our webinar where we will dive deep into the topic of building an ERP business case, providing you with expert guidance and practical strategies to ensure that your business case is clear and effective.

This webinar will cover:
- How to identify and analyse current issues.
- Asses the benefits of an ERP.
- How to evaluate your ERP options.
- Demonstrating the ROI.
- Identify the implementation risks.

Oracle NetSuite webinar: CFOs Turn Allyship into Action.
Can allyship drive innovation for finance teams? As CFOs take on a greater role in fostering collaboration, growing strategic relationships, and harnessing new technology, having—but also being—an ally is becoming crucial to success. For female finance leaders, allyship is a powerful tool in creating an inclusive culture across the organization—where differing people, policies, and ideas can thrive.

Join us for a conversation with finance leaders as they share their insights into championing allyship to help advance more women into corporate leadership positions and ultimately lead to better results.

Our panelist will delve into:
- The role of allyship and inclusion in finance decision-making processes.
- Strategies for CFOs and financial leaders to actively champion diversity initiatives.
- Preparing for the next generation of CFOs through expanding skills and focusing on strategy.
- The value of mentorship and sponsorship for continued career growth.

Oracle NetSuite webinar: 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.

Building the Right Implementation Team

Oracle NetSuite virtual event: Top traits CEOs want in a finance partner.

We talked to top chief executives about what they look for in an effective finance partner: these days, the ideal candidate must have more than just the expert level accounting skills to “count the beans.” Meeting the strategic needs of the organization, as well as CEO, means this influential partner must have a comprehensive understanding of the business and its industry, employ strategic resource planning, and maintain visibility to be successful.

Join us for this webinar with Tom Kelly, Oracle NetSuite's Director of Product Management, as he covers the top skills CEOs say they want from their financial partners and how CFOs can deliver. We’ll discuss:
- What it means to be a strategic partner to the organization.
- Top technical skills CFOs are honing to accelerate their career.
- How CFOs can improve communication, proactiveness, flexibility, and more.

What CEOs Want in a CFO

In partnership with ACCA, we explore strategies to boost profitability without increased spending. And how becoming more efficient increases output, which is a driver for strengthening business resilience and ultimately, the bottom line.
In this session we share insights from leading experts on how to foster a culture that continuously seeks efficiency gains, setting smart KPIs and automating manual tasks.

Efficiency = more possibilities – CFOs and finance leaders are likely spending more time these days figuring out how to make the most of the team and technology resources they have available. They’re not alone. Purse strings have tightened, and CEOs and owners in many industries have asked their leadership teams for strategies to boost profitability without increased spending.

Discussion topics include: 
• Establishing a finance team culture that continuously seeks efficiency gains
• Developing ‘what-if’ scenarios and forecasting 
• Tracking the metrics that reflect real-time data.

Build resilience. Prepare ‘what ifs?’. Adapt in unpredictable times

Data supports that firms with female CFOs produce superior stock price performance compared to the market average. But despite this, women are still largely underrepresented in the field, even with recent gains.

We bring together a panel of female finance leaders to discuss:
– How to tell your story 
– Sharing your unique background and skills, whether you’re interviewing, sharing data with your team, or advocating strategy to your board.
– Why it’s important to have women in financial leadership roles to help bolster corporate growth, returns, and market valuations.
–  Why women are uniquely positioned to excel as the CFO role expands beyond the traditional finance background.
– How to find mentors and role models, as well as become an ally for other women.

- Improve operational tracking with tailored reporting segments.
- Optimize financial visibility with multidimensional data and reports.
