Has anyone found a way to gain access to a NetSuite Next instance? Just came out of a meeting with egg on my face a bit. Our leadership team joined a NetSuite Next webinar by NetSuite and left under the impression that we are far behind but I cant find any documentation or access to it.

You're not behind. They say they are starting to roll it out this year, but we haven't seen anything yet.

Wish someone at netsuite would have told that to the sales rep who called after the demo and blew up my rapport with our leadership team. According to them, all admins should know about this and start preparing the transition.

Hard to prepare as an admin when you don't know exactly what's going to change for the user. We have a large NetSuite user base and haven't put a lot of thought into yet. NetSuite typically starts talking about new major features 12-24 months before you see them in your account. From what I've heard, you'll have the ability to test NetSuite Next yourself before you deploy to end users.

If I had a nickel for software that "demos well"...

Is this a random rep or your AMO? Contact your AMO they have the details on getting into the cycle of the Preview copy. A few customers are already onboard

Our rep told us to be able to join the beta(?) for it you have to be interviewed and agree to provide some kind of feedback or something. It was vague and I got the impression we wouldn't mee their criteria since they didn't offer us an interview lol

I was at SuiteConnect and they spoke a lot about NetSuite Next.. they said it will gradually roll out and you can test it before deploying to users.
