NetSuite recently held it's first user conference since it's acquisition by Oracle in Las Vegas - SuiteWorld17. With it came a raft of announcements based around the theme Next Starts Now which outlined in detail what the plan is moving forward. 

One of the most interesting announcements was the addition of HCM to the platform - SuitePeople - something that has been long awaited by many!

In their blog they said;

NetSuite Adds Core HR

Getting customers to next also includes the final piece of the suite pie, McGeever said, HR. NetSuite announced SuitePeople at the show, a core HR software offering built from scratch atop the NetSuite platform. Now, employee data is unified with customer, financial, product and services data. And better yet, McGeever said, it comes standard in the platform.

“You can’t buy SuitePeople without buying the rest of NetSuite,” he said.

SuitePeople will come with pre-built reports and dashboards focused on employee metrics and compliance, Kudos to help employees recognize co-workers, HR reports to monitor compliance and a unified data model, allowing customers to access everything from HR to finance, the shop floor to the top floor, in a single suite.

I say that this is significant news for the 40,000 NetSuite customers! Stay tuned for more as this develops.
