  • Unlocking Productivity Gains | Meredith Rowan
    Oct 2 2024

    Today's episode is part of a series of six interviews recorded at the Oracle NetSuite Cloud World and SuiteWorld conferences which were held in Las Vegas, September 2024. I encourage you to subscribe and add them all to your playlist!

    In this episode, I speak with Meredith Rowan, Group Vice President – ANZ + ASEAN Applications Oracle

    Meredith leads the strategic direction and execution of Oracle’s cloud application solutions across the region. With over 20 years of experience in the technology sector, she has a strong track record of driving digital transformation and helping businesses leverage Oracle’s suite of enterprise solutions​

    We discuss:

    • A key factor in their success is making enterprise applications more user-friendly through the new Redwood user experience interface.

    • Opportunities to leverage technology, particularly Ai to fill the productivity gap created by economic pressures, and drive better outcomes. Meredith noted that Australia and New Zealand have slipped in global productivity rankings, with the slowest productivity growth in the last 10 years.

    • Meredith shares some customer success stories, from the likes of Avis, and A2 milk.
