About Me

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Eric Barro I've been there and I've done that!
Looking to migrate from your existing system to NetSuite? I was part of a team that migrated the data and business processes from Oracle EBS to NetSuite. Using SuiteScript, NetSuite's programming environment as well as SuiteTalk, I developed custom modules for business processes that were not handled by NetSuite out-of-the-box.

Looking to customize your NetSuite implementation? I have developed Client Scripts, Scheduled Scripts, User Event Scripts, Suitelets, RESTlets, and Map/Reduce Scripts that have saved countless man hours for end users and their organizations in vertical markets such as Retail/E-Commerce, Manufacturing, Finance, Insurance, Education, and Information Technology.

What I offer

Personal Qualities

Forward Thinker

I look beyond the application layer and try to understand the customer and their business processes to fully appreciate the bigger picture and how each part plays in terms of the organization's goals.

Service and
Growth Mindset

I understand who my customer is -- my customer is anyone who is involved in the business processes. I seek to understand their goals and how they use and interact with the applications in order to provide a better user experience and help them do their jobs efficiently.

Great
Communicator

Being able to communicate ideas and concepts effectively and efficiently is one of my passions. Visual cues and proper terminology and messaging as well as well-thought-out work flow help communicate to the user how the application can make them more efficient in their tasks.

Strong Analyst

I have the ability to visualize what a customer experiences when they have issues with an application or user interface. I like to observe how my customer uses an application especially one that I have developed and understand how they interact with the user interface and work flow.

Thorough
Problem Solver

I look at a problem from all sides and I'm very good at investigating and diagnosing issues before they become problems. I am also able to put myself in my customer's shoes and see it from their vantage point and seek to approach the solution that will be beneficial to them.

Thoughtful Diplomat

I understand that everyone has their own point of view based on their training, exposure, and upbringing and experiences in life. I focus on listening and picking up on the non-verbal cues and consider a person's point of view.
