NetSuite Next Brings AI-Powered Smart Workflows to UAE Businesses

Oracle NetSuite has launched NetSuite Next, a next-generation enterprise resource planning platform specifically for the UAE market. The platform transforms business operations through AI-driven automation, including embedded conversational intelligence, agentic workflows, and natural language search capabilities.

NetSuite Next addresses a critical business challenge: making AI work practically for everyday operations rather than just providing another layer of complexity.

Core Innovation: Ask Oracle

At the platform's heart is Ask Oracle, a natural language assistant that allows users to search, analyze, and act across the entire NetSuite dataset using plain English. Users can ask questions like "Why did sales drop last quarter?" and receive context-aware answers with visualizations and explanations of the reasoning behind each response.

The tool works seamlessly across customizations and third-party applications, providing unified insight without requiring users to learn new interfaces or abandon existing workflows.

Key AI-Driven Features

AI Canvas: A collaborative workspace where teams can analyze data, brainstorm solutions, and trigger automated workflows visually.

Agentic Workflows: AI systems that handle complex tasks like payment proposals, vendor selection, and supply chain operations. Users can choose to approve key decisions or allow agents to act autonomously.

Document Intelligence: Large language models extract and validate information from invoices, contracts, and PDFs, transforming isolated documents into actionable business workflows.

Smart Agents: Customizable AI agents built directly on Oracle Cloud Platform that work alongside teams, manage complex workflows, and adapt to evolving company policies.

Regional Business Impact

The platform addresses specific UAE market needs, including support for the country's upcoming e-invoicing mandate. Companies can participate in a July 2026 pilot program, with full rollout scheduled for January 2027 to ensure seamless tax and compliance management.

NetSuite Next delivers practical value through three core areas: automation that eliminates repetitive tasks, insights that surface actionable information, and agility that helps businesses adapt as they grow.
