0:00.0	So here's what I'm seeing. Businesses everywhere are trying to figure out AI. The possibilities are endless, right? But the overwhelm is also real. Netsweet by Oracle cuts through that noise. It's the number one AI cloud ERP. Over 43,000 businesses trusted to bring their financials, inventory, commerce, HR, and CRM into one unified system. Why does that matter? Because connected data makes your AI smarter. Instead of guessing, it actually knows your business. It automates the routine stuff, surfaces, insights you can act on, and helps you cut costs while moving faster. This is AI that's already built into the system running your business, not some add-on you have to figure out. Bottom line, if you want to put AI to work today without the guesswork, NetSuite is how to do it. Right now, get our free business guide, demystifying AI at netsuite.com slash SPI.
