Get the free guide ↓

The next wave of AI value in finance will come less from bigger models and more from a common way for AI to work inside enterprise systems. This NetSuite business guide, with insight from Glenn Hopper of VAi Consulting, explains how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants query ERP data while inheriting your existing role-based permissions, audit trails and human-in-the-loop approvals. It walks through four finance use cases, from invoice lookup and AR collections to budget variance analysis and vendor payment compliance, and covers SOX, SOC 2 and audit trail considerations. You also get a 90-day pilot framework with target metrics and budget guidance, plus a technical guide for NetSuite administrators on role configuration, OAuth setup, security guardrails, migration from Sample Tools and troubleshooting.
