So, what do we have here? linkedin.com/pulse/suiteworld-2026-ready-nextand-just-getting-started-netsuite… What do you think? SuiteExpress, for example, do you think it will reduce the number of consultants required for each project?

I've spoken to some fellow devs around suiteworld about it. IMO with all of the AI stuff and suiteexpress, its definitely going to kill the billable hour or T&M billing. How can you bill T&M for an agentic system to do the work? You may be able to get some hourly billing based on discovery but once the actual work starts, the agents are handling it.
IMO its gonna reduce the required headcount to do an implementation/customization for sure. I know if I have the full capabilities of MCP connector that I could probably knock out anything you need in a few days (or faster) vs weeks at this point.
From a dev view, the real value is going to be having someone that can actually validate what its spitting out.
It seems like offshore may get replaced more than anything

That would be great.

Yeah, and it will reduce the number of customizations requested by the customers too. NetSuite doesn't support importing the record X? No issue, "Hey Oracle, build a page to do Y", done. (TBH, these kinds of tasks were very silly anyway.)

Any idea whether this would reduce the cost of NetSuite's subscription or increase it? (Looks like it will reduce the implementation cost, I guess) Because I can see in my country some small companies trying to build ERP systems as quickly as they can, using AI, of course. But I don't think that there is an ability to do something that would compete with this. So, if NetSuite reduced the prices, they would be finished.

From what I understand, the AI tokens are based on your license count and there's not really a great idea of how far that gets you in the public community in terms of being able to do work. It seems like most people have an outside subscription to something like claude and use that for development and the MCP connector to do data related things. As a dev, pricing for netsuite isn't something I really know about honestly.

Let's see what will happen then in this interesting horror movie.
