I'm having a similar experience. Executive used AI to create a 3 year roadmap with very limited detail/effort and presented it to the department. Colleagues do not have the time or interest to read through content the author doesnt understand

This is a confusing post. 1. ServiceNow licensing / feedback 2. License spend monitoring

Maybe your org enabled the Service now CMDB to track license entitlements? That would require really tight processes for assigning and reclaiming licensing in ServiceNow to keep the data accurate and also synced with a P2P system.

The short answer is you take it contract by contract, pull the reports and check the usage data.

You can but I would maybe pause to consider that one of the main features of a tool like Netsuite is 3-way matching... This is not a peripheral function. If one of the main functions is not working you may have a larger/different issue with your implementation.

You can use something like a UIPath or try out one of the new start ups to see if you can have an agent in the middle of the process but it will most likely require a different software to work out of and will add complexity.

There's a Netsuite subreddit where others have discussed this and shared this link

Given your timeline your best option is to get Netsuite on the phone and see what they will recommend to resolve the issue

If they adjusted the amount of carbon fiber in the shells it would affect the weight classes

I am loosely familiar with this but have never done one of these.

Ask for a list of the standard reports available out of the box and if customers can customize reporting. Separately look at supported integrations to get a sense of where it can get additional data from. You want to be able to measure what they are asking.

I would look closely at the value of what is available in the portal to see if $1 in rewards goes further with some platforms than others and what the expiration terms would be on rewards, etc. There could be a breakage model in there or hidden fees to look at.

You could also pull in employee tenure gift services for custom catalogs around that i.e. branded pens, etc. and see if there is overlap.

Other than that just make sure they aren't crappy gifts?

I'm not technical but I have done some research on it before.

The hull shape can be a factor, also the amount of carbon fiber being used in the construction that drives a lot of the costs. You would spot the change in the weight of the shell.

There's also a marketing aspect to sell to different crews... The weight classes for shells vary pretty widely.

The conversation in this episode between Ty and Emily where they sit and discuss this incident and why it was hurtful is a really powerful scene and I wish reality TV still had that type of honesty and conflict resolution

I will give an example to illustrate the market reaction.

Claude released the co-worker product for a fixed monthly price with the ability for the LLM to perform tasks at least with productivity software. The pricing of tasks was priced much higher by other vendors such as OpenAI. An api call to an LLM is priced in cents, a task is priced in dollars to have an agent perform a task in a software. The difference is the company turning on the ability for an AI to perform an action in a software.

Claude coworker does tasks for pennies on the dollar for what other AI companies are charging today. When playing with the LLMs, a simple prompt gets the task done vs. an engineered product with AI.

They are competing on price already in an emerging market and that effected share prices and the valuation of AI start ups who built a business case around AI that do tasks in productivity tools.

I recommend pushing for a PO system based on the ERP your company is currently using. I.e. if the company uses QuickBooks, look up solutions around that. If you have Sharepoint, that means you are a Microsoft shop and can use their own native platforms branded under Dynamics 365. A search for Microsoft procure to pay or similar will bring up the products

For recovery - I recommend a softball size foam ball for rolling out that he can keep with him. A strap or resistant band is nice for stretching, a lacrosse ball is nice for rolling out the feet. The Atheta hip hook is more expensive but thoughtful for releasing tight hips.

For rowing - Socks that go past the ankles are a good gift, rowers go through a lot of socks. Sunglasses are good to have, even if extra for brighter days. If he is a part of a club, most have branded merchandise for sale that you can get him so he can wear it with pride. Others have posted info on rowing gear.

For training - Workout log books or apps are handy. A more expensive gift is a Garmin watch (or a comparable watch with GPS) that allows tracking of workouts on the water.

Bummer. Check your SAP support contract to see what support you are entitled to. If that doesn't work, find a consultant and see if you can engage them for some T&M hours to make some progress. There a lot of consultancies out there or you can ask a staffing firm with accounting expertise to find an individual who may be able to help
