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

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."
