NetSuite recognized by trusted research firm

NetSuite recently announced, for the second year in a row, that it was named in the Leaders quadrant of Gartner Inc.’s comprehensive Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financial Management Systems for Midsize, Large and Global Enterprises report.

Gartner is a highly recognized and trusted research firm that provides industry insights for top business executives across a variety of industries. Being named a Leader for two straight years is significant since accolades like this are not easily achieved.

Oracle & NetSuite were two of the only three financial management systems to be named Leaders among the top 10 ERP packages that Gartner evaluated. According to the report, Oracle NetSuite has improved upon its ability to execute and completeness of vision since the last Magic Quadrant.

Leaders Category

Gartner explains that vendors who place in the Leaders quadrant demonstrate a market-defining vision of how core financial management systems and processes can be supported and improved by moving them to the cloud. Leaders like Oracle and NetSuite couple this with a clear ability to execute this vision through products, services, and go-to-market strategies.

Evaluation Criteria

In the report, Gartner explains that they assess vendors’ Ability to Execute by evaluating the products, technologies, services, and operations that enable them to be competitive, efficient and effective in this market.
