The Power of One: Leveraging NetSuite and Oracle’s Research & Development Teams

Posted by Brian Chess, Global VP of Infrastructure, Security and Compliance
Focused on fulfilling market needs and flexing to meet customer demands, software companies like NetSuite invest hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development (R&D) every year. Whether they are building out new products, revamping current offerings, or predicting customers’ future needs, these companies must be able to effectively translate their early “ideas” into concepts that address a targeted market niche.
Here at NetSuite, we fully leverage our own R&D capabilities plus those of Oracle, our parent company. Since it was founded, in fact, NetSuite has been a major consumer of Oracle technologies—including Java, the database, and WebLogic server. Oracle is the home of Java, and is a company that literally defined the term “relational database.” A pioneering force in the enterprise software industry, Oracle continues to blaze a trail into the 21[SUP]st[/SUP] century.
