OdeCloud community member Jacky Wong discusses what remains on his roadmap as a NetSuite consultant.
Why do we do the things we do? It’s a question that every entrepreneur or businessperson likely asks before solidifying their product.
Put basically: In order to understand what to sell, we must first understand what exactly consumers are looking to purchase — and most especially, why?!

The primary questions that we had to explore as the creators of OdeCloud’s online NetSuite community were fairly simple: Why exactly will NetSuite consultants want to join (and stay in) this online community, and what value will it offer?
As a matter of fact, it’s this pair of questions that we continue to revisit in our effort to ensure that the experience of each community member remains healthy and positive.

For expert NetSuite consultant and active OdeCloud community member Jacky Wong, he hopes to continue strengthening his understanding of the technical side of NetSuite.
Therefore, he finds the most value in learning from other community members who happen to be more skilled and knowledgable in things like C-Suite scripting and NetSuite development.
“One of the things that has been on my roadmap…is the ability to be more technical, be more savvy with C-Script,” Jacky said.
“Knowing scripts and connecting new scripts with the financial modules with NetSuite connected to the new users; this is what makes you become valuable in the company — and also just in the community in general.”
Additionally, Jacky hopes to remain an active member of the OdeCloud community, helping other NetSuite consultants to improve their understanding of the more functional side of NetSuite.
By helping other consultants grow their expertise, he sees the OdeCloud community becoming a strong primary resource for other companies to utilize when in need of NetSuite assistance.

Jacky Wong (00:22):
I mean, uh, one of the things that has been on my roadmap and been really simmering on is to the ability to be a little bit more technical, a bit more savvy with, uh, SuiteScript. That’s just because when I was in consulting that I knew even though functional and the scripting side is two different career path, but I know that in order to become extremely successful in NetSuite, become that very valuable, um, team player, knowing script, connecting your scripts with, um, the functional module, the financial module with NetSuite connected to the users; this is what make you become invaluable — I mean, valuable in the company and also just in the community in general. So with that, um, definitely want to be having that experience more, to start developing more scripts in systems. And long term wise — uh, hopefully I go make great impact with the community, uh, help making sure that, uh, I give good insight, good feedback with everybody. And we can build bigger and stronger community where we can start telling people that, um, the platform is great. You, you don’t have to be fixated with hiring someone in house. You don’t have to fixate with hiring a firm. You can, if you have a project, something easy, easy to do, but you just don’t have bandwidth with your own company. You can always reach out to us to look for it. So something that will be I’m hoping getting up for OdeCloud.
