Hosted by Brian Keare
Former CIO at Nortek Security & Control | CIO at Incorta
As CIO at Nortek, Brian Keare implemented Incorta to empower company leaders to make consequential, strategic decisions more quickly than ever via a deeper, richer and more actionable understanding of the problems and opportunities they faced. With Incorta, Nortek users could finally, easily and in real-time, analyze the mountains of data stored across the company’s many business systems — the most important being ERP data from Oracle NetSuite. Brian, in fact, was so impressed with Incorta’s transformative nature that he eventually decided to join the company in 2019 as its first CIO.

How Incorta Direct Data Mapping Frees NetSuite Data
With Incorta, say goodbye to manual saved searches and SQL queries on NetSuite data. Our Direct Data Mapping lets you:
Quickly connect
to source tables in NetSuite, add other external data sources (e.g. from Salesforce or Workday), and get table join recognition that performs at scale, activating an instant data pipeline that’s ready for active consumption
Start building dashboards
with multiple types of interactive visuals in a single view and self-serve complex insights fueled by more than two data sources — with no IT help or data warehouse required
Drill down to the detail you need in seconds,
from summary metrics across multiple data sources down to transaction line detail
Incorta’s enriched metadata map and smart query routing eliminate the need for a NetSuite expert to pre-aggregate, reshape or transform data.
