The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has created a competitive landscape where innovation is crucial for success. Many AI startups are turning to Oracle NetSuite, a comprehensive cloud business system, to streamline their operations and bolster their growth. Companies such as Anyscale, Clarifai, Cohere, and SymphonyAI are leveraging NetSuite’s capabilities to reduce operational costs, enhance business insights, and improve efficiency across various business processes.
Oracle NetSuite provides essential enterprise resource planning (ERP) functionalities that include financial management, accounting, procurement, human resources, and sales and marketing. By automating processes and integrating data, startups can focus on innovation and building strategic advantages rather than getting bogged down by operational complexities.
Evan Goldberg, the founder and executive vice president of Oracle NetSuite, highlights the urgency for AI companies to find tools that support product innovation while managing financial health. He notes, “There is a worldwide race to build the next generation of AI systems, and AI companies are challenged to find ways to fund new product innovations, bolster their top and bottom lines, and keep up with increasing competition.” Many fast-growing AI firms have recognized the value of NetSuite in helping them achieve these goals.
Anyscale, the creator of the Ray open-source project, provides a unified compute platform used to build and deploy scalable AI applications. With the implementation of NetSuite, Anyscale has significantly enhanced the accuracy and speed of its financial processes while creating a central hub for operational data. The Head of Finance, Yun Jung Choi, underscores the positive impact, stating, “As AI becomes a competitive necessity, we’re seeing increased demand for Anyscale’s infrastructure and development platform—which also creates more complexity for our accounting team. NetSuite has helped us improve efficiency and integrate data workflows, which has enabled us to gain a more complete picture of our finances and cultivate strategic insights for our growth.”
Clarifai, an AI development company, has turned to NetSuite’s SuiteSuccess Software Edition to scale its operations in response to skyrocketing demand for its generative AI solutions. Clarifai’s CEO, Matthew Zeiler, identifies the platform’s value, stating, “We recently surpassed 1.5 million AI models built on our platform, and to support our ongoing growth, we needed a flexible, scalable business solution. NetSuite grows with our business, automating our manual operational processes, and freeing up resources so we can accelerate business outcomes and help our customers solve more problems with AI.”
In similar strides, Cohere, a company developing enterprise-grade AI solutions, integrated NetSuite to manage rapid growth effectively. Laura Moss, the Vice President of Finance at Cohere, notes the advantages garnered from this integration: “Cohere has grown rapidly in recent years, and we needed an integrated business system that could scale with us. To build the leading global security-focused enterprise AI company, we turned to Oracle NetSuite. NetSuite has provided huge efficiency advantages and the AI capabilities in NetSuite have provided us with accurate data so that we can make better and faster decisions.”
Lastly, SymphonyAI leverages the capabilities of NetSuite SuiteSuccess Software Edition and OneWorld functionality to optimize its financial operations. With over 2,000 clients worldwide and a workforce exceeding 3,000 employees, SymphonyAI has noted significant improvements in productivity and decision-making. Bill Bragg, the Chief Information Officer, shares, “Over the last three years, we’ve achieved dramatic revenue growth and achieved profitability. As we grew, we needed a robust business system that could help us scale processes and improve employee productivity. NetSuite is helping us streamline processes, expand insights, and improve decision-making to increase efficiency as we expand our global operations.”
The experiences of these AI startups showcase the transformative impact that comprehensive ERP solutions like Oracle NetSuite can have in driving development and operational excellence. With support from advanced technology, these companies can not only keep pace with the evolving market but also prepare for future challenges in a competitive landscape.
