Oracle NetSuite launches new partner initiative

Oracle NetSuite has announced that new and existing partners in Australia and New Zealand are adopting SuiteLife, a new partner initiative, to maximise customer success.

With SuiteLife, new NetSuite partners in ANZ are able to start selling and delivering NetSuite to customers in only 90 days, while existing partners have benefited from new offerings to expand their NetSuite practice and amplify their growth.

To further enhance collaboration with partners in ANZ, NetSuite has also launched a partner council to give solution providers in the region a platform for greater voice and influence with NetSuite's regional leadership team.

"Our partners play a critical role in helping put the power of cloud ERP into the hands of more organisations across the world," says Oracle NetSuite JAPAC channels senior director Vijay Raghvani.

"Since launching SuiteLife in ANZ, we've had great feedback from new and existing partners as they take advantage of the new program to gain the knowledge and expertise required to help customers succeed, differentiate their practices and expand their business.

SuiteLife delivers a set of resources, certified training and tools that enable NetSuite partners to develop expertise around specific business functions, product areas and industries.

With SuiteLife, NetSuite partners in ANZ can gain the knowledge and expertise required to help customers succeed, differentiate their practices and expand their business.

"The demand for cloud is growing at an exponential rate and having all the resources in the right place means we can better serve our customers and help them maximise their success.

"NetSuite has always been a supportive partner and we see SuiteLife as a perfect extension of our work together as we pursue the same end goal – ensuring we deliver the best outcomes to our customers," says Fusion5 executive director Grant Robertson.

"We always take a best practice approach to helping our customers. With SuiteLife, we now have more resources available to do this," says Guarav Srivastava, CEO at Absolute Vision Technologies.

In addition to SuiteLife, NetSuite partners in ANZ can also take advantage the newly established JAPAC Provider Council.

Committee members will leverage their deep local insights to become a central, local body representing channel partners in ANZ.
