By Mike Carter, Director of Partnership Success, KORE1 Hiring a chief product officer in 2026 starts with two honest questions: is product truly a company-level function here, and will the CEO actually hand over the roadmap?

Choosing between NetSuite and Sage Intacct talent is a department decision, not a size one. NetSuite is an operations and systems hire, while Sage Intacct is a finance and accounting hire, and both platforms fit the same mid-market company. Most comparison guides never get there. They stack up modules and pricing tiers and call it … Read more
For most mid-market and high-growth companies the right ERP hire is NetSuite talent, while large enterprises running SAP S/4HANA or legacy ECC need SAP talent, because the platform you run, not the brand, decides which market you hire from.

Most people only ever study the rung right above their … Read more
By Mike Carter, Director of Partnership Success at KORE1 Strong NetSuite developer interview questions in 2026 center on one skill above all, writing SuiteScript that finishes real work without exceeding NetSuite’s governance limits. They do one job, and that is it. Certifications and a tidy résumé tell you almost nothing next to that. What follows … Read more
By Mike Carter, Director of Partnership Success at KORE1 The best NetSuite administrator interview questions test whether a candidate can run an instance somebody else built, through two forced upgrades a year, while every department asks for one more custom field. That is the job. It is not a smaller version of the implementation consultant … Read more
