NetSuite Named a Leader in Two Gartner Magic Quadrants

NetSuite Named a Leader in Two Gartner Magic Quadrants one for service-centric enterprises and one for product-centric enterprises.

For those unfamiliar: Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is one of the most influential evaluation frameworks in enterprise software. Vendors are assessed on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute, and earning “Leader” status signals both strong product performance and a clear, credible roadmap.

Netsuite's reward isn’t surprising, but it is meaningful — especially at a time when AI is transforming the finance and ERP landscape.

And as NetSuite founder Evan Goldberg put it:

“We built NetSuite to be more than a finance system… By embedding AI into everyday workflows and giving customers the flexibility to connect leading models of their choice, we’re helping them make smarter decisions and achieve better outcomes.”

That balance embedded AI + open AI is why I think NetSuite is on the right path.

Why I Believe Unified ERPs Like NetSuite Have the AI Advantage

I’ve been vocal on this blog about my belief in unified, all-in-one ERPs. Not because they’re perfect, no system is, but because they impose discipline and structure on organizational data. And that’s a real competitive advantage.

Most companies underestimate how costly fragmented systems are. CRMs, AP tools, HR platforms, department-specific databases that all speak slightly different languages. And when AI arrives, those inconsistencies become landmines.

As David Yankana, Director of Operations at Amatheon Animal Health, was quoted in the press release:

“Before using NetSuite, our data was fragmented across different systems and spreadsheets. Having all revenue, logistics, and finance data in one centralized place has eliminated silos and ensured every decision is based on real-time information.”

That’s exactly the point: AI can only generate insight when the underlying data is normalized, consistent, and connected. NetSuite forces that structure. Many other tools don't.

NetSuite is rolling out internal AI capabilities across the suite:

• Conversational intelligence

• Agentic workflows

• Natural-language search

• Predictive forecasting and AI-driven EPM

• AI-generated narrative reporting

This "AI inside the ERP" model is the most powerful type of AI because it runs on clean, governed, unified data, not API-scraped fragments.

Tipalti, QuickBooks, AP tools, and CRM systems are all adding A, and that’s great.But those tools only see fragments of the business.

NetSuite sees:

• Finance

• Inventory

• Revenue

• Sales

• Supply chain

• HR

• Subsidiaries

• Operations

AI without context produces show a part of the picture and may set you on the wrong path while an ERP with context produces insight.

That’s the difference between:

• “Summarize these invoices”and

• “Explain why gross margin dropped 4 points in EMEA last quarter and propose corrective actions.”

Only an ERP can answer the second question.
