Oracle NetSuite has announced NetSuite Guided Learning. It is a new tool that will help customers get maximum value from the suite. It will provide step-by-step guidance embedded directly within NetSuite to help users learn about system features and functionality. It is to be made available to all licensed customers of NetSuite with the hope of reducing training needs for organisations while empowering them to take advantage of everything NetSuite can do.
David Rodman, Senior Vice President of customer success at NetSuite, made a few interesting statements. He noted the onus on businesses to “provide employees with continuous learning opportunities.” Much of this may be hard and expensive to come by, so Rodman has asserted NetSuite’s commitment to “expanding continuous learning support for…customers to help run their businesses better.” He said that the goal of NetSuite Guided Learning is to “offer customers immediate access to resources that allow employees to build their skills.”
Guided Learning is to be made available in 27 languages to all NetSuite customers within the next 12 months. This means it is definitely something to look out for as a current NetSuite user, as it will become an integral part of the platform upon arrival. And for businesses considering introducing NetSuite in the workplace, this new tool could be a valuable asset for successful implementation.
So what exactly is NetSuite Guided Learning?
NetSuite Guided Learning will be embedded directly in the NetSuite system. It will provide contextual guidance on completing key tasks for users on-the-go. There will be interactive, role-based process learning guides that enable users to do their jobs quickly and effectively. And it is right there, at your fingertips, whenever you need it.

There will be several key benefits of NetSuite Guided Learning. They will include:
- Faster user adoption via role-based, in-app learning.
- Global guides for specific tasks and features available right when they are needed.

How does Netsuite Guided Learning work?
NetSuite Guided Learning will offer ongoing support to NetSuite customers. The training resources, aimed at facilitating accelerated adoption and skill enhancement, will include the following:

With all these tools at their disposal, users will have a powerful arsenal to improve the ways that NetSuite works for them. It is an exciting prospect with lots of potential for the platform.
What challenges will be solved by NetSuite Guided Learning?
There are various challenges in the workplace that a system like NetSuite can bring. Businesses have long been working hard to overcome these challenges using a wide range of tools and resources. NetSuite Guided Learning is out to solve as many of these challenges as possible. It could help with:
Low Productivity
Employees will be able to develop and improve their skills and knowledge without ever having to leave the screen. This will enable faster deployment of skills and greater productivity on-the-go.
Slow System Adoption
When people are new to NetSuite, it can take a while before they become fully versed on how to do everything they need to get their job done. The new self-guided learning tools will decrease ramp-up time with the real-time access to self-guided learning resources.
Ineffective Training Practices
Traditionally, learning out of context is not the most efficient approach – people learn best when the lessons apply directly to work they are trying to complete. With NetSuite Guided Learning, users can access comprehensive training guides at the point of need, facilitating self-guided training in an effective way.
