Meet Our Team
In 2009, NetSuite solution providers Diego Isola and Nic Cano decided to pool their expertise and backgrounds to offer complete, end-to-end solutions for NetSuite clients looking to maximize their investments in the platform. The result was Tavano Team, a single source provider of NetSuite cloud solutions, customizations, online marketing, and NetSuite consulting.
Back in 2001, when NetSuite was known as Netledger, Nic started working for NetSuite clients. He has worked as a freelancer and consultant developer for several NetSuite solution providers since then. During most of this period he also served as the CTO of a South American corporate group owner of multiple companies, including a major petrochemical/plastics industry processor and a large Mercedes-Benz dealer. Being deeply involved in the IT infrastructure, operations, and financials of the multiple companies run by this corporate group, Nic quickly became an expert in distribution, manufacturing, purchasing, and other business processes.
When Nic got his Masters in Software Engineering in 2009, he decided it was time team up with Diego to provide valuable business solutions to clients using NetSuite.
Four years before founding Tavano Team, Diego was getting his major in Economics and working with an import/export trading company when he decided to take a job opportunity that involved providing ecommerce and business solutions to companies running NetSuite. In this role, Diego was responsible for advising ecommerce companies on how to improve their online presence and get the most out of their NetSuite systems. As the person in charge of all of his firm’s project managers, Diego oversaw over 150 NetSuite projects for clients around the world.
Building on their NetSuite development experience, plus Diego’s background as an economist and Nic’s experience as a software engineer, the pair completed their core team with the addition of Barry Boese, certified management accountant, and David Griggs, longtime sales management specialist. Together with the rest of Tavano’s NetSuite professionals, they offer a wide range of services delivered with a deep passion for helping clients to make NetSuite even sweeter.

Diego Isola, Founder and CEO
With a background in economics, marketing, and NetSuite development, Diego Isola brings a wealth of business insight and software customization know-how to the Tavano Team. As founder and CEO, Diego leads the team in designing, building, and delivering the innovative and bottom line-focused NetSuite solutions that enterprises need to compete in a demanding global economy.
“These days, especially, businesses need every advantage they can get,” Diego says. “One of the best ways to get ahead is to differentiate your business from the competition, and NetSuite has proven to provide an ideal starting point for doing just that.”
A NetSuite solution provider since 2005, Diego has concentrated his efforts on developing results-oriented ecommerce solutions that focus on the primary drivers of ROI and on customizing the NetSuite system to adapt to his clients’ internal business processes. “On the Web, there are so many more possibilities,” Diego explains. “You need to be very analytic and selective when recommending the type of online marketing campaign you want your client to invest in and when selecting the best approach to follow for a NetSuite system solution. Not every new Internet fad applies to your client or is worth it. Tavano helps our clients exploit the underlying power of the NetSuite platform in combination with our services to implement solutions that maximize the results achievable within each specific client scenario.”
Diego sees no limit to the innovation that’s possible using NetSuite as a foundation. “These are exciting times,” Diego says. “Solutions like those that we are developing for our NetSuite clients weren’t possible until now. We are delighted every time we hear a new client that has been using NetSuite for years (and has been working in the past with other solution providers), say they didn't think the solution we provided was possible using NetSuite. We do get that a lot, and it's a fantastic feeling knowing that we are making a difference and helping our clients to overcome their NetSuite system challenges.”
Head Solution Architect Nicholas Cano, MS, Software Engineering
With more than eight years of NetSuite business software development experience, Nicholas Cano is Tavano’s chief expert in NetSuite scripting, automation, integration, and data management.
One of the reasons Nicholas Cano has devoted some much time to the NetSuite platform is its capacity for customization and expansion. “As great as NetSuite is right out of the box, there’s a lot of hidden power we can help businesses of any type tap into. And for almost a decade, I’ve worked with clients to turn NetSuite from a fantastic all-purpose framework to a customized workhorse that gets out of their way and lets them focus on their core businesses,” Cano says.
Nicholas Cano and his team at Tavano have helped businesses of all kinds to do business better with NetSuite. From CRM and ERP to eCommerce solutions, the Tavano development team allows clients to get more from their NetSuite investments – and get on with their plans.
“Over the years, I’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to a given problem,” Cano says. “Every solution we develop starts not with a problem but with our client. Only by listening closely to a client – before writing a single line of code – can we solve the problem at hand in a way that dovetails with their unique goals and vision. Without a clear focus on clients and what sets them apart, it’s just too easy to develop ‘solutions’ that force them to change the way they work, instead of working the way they do. For us, the only solution that matters is the one that takes the entire business environment into account.”
Barry Boese, Certified Management Accountant
Barry Boese is a longtime Accountant, Controller, and CFO who brings a wealth of accounting, finance, project management, and business growth expertise to Tavano’s team. A veteran NetSuite accountant and consultant since June 2000, Barry has worked with for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations to streamline and automate their workflows using industry leading web based systems.
“NetSuite is so open and flexible that it’s become the financial platform of choice for small to mid sized businesses looking for an ERP system that can be tailored to work the way they do,” says Barry. “I never get tired of seeing our clients doing things that they’d have said were impossible before we customized their NetSuite processes and reporting. We can provide bookkeeping, accounting, CFO, Controller and related services, tailored to each business's specific needs, and many companies have saved up to 50% or more of these costs, when compared to hiring full time employees.”
As a CFO who has been closely involved with businesses that have seen 500% plus revenue growth, and even greater bottom line profit growth, Barry routinely expands CEOs and shareholders ideas of what’s possible in business. His drive and ability to help small to mid sized businesses reach new levels of efficiency and profitability have made him a key player in delivering Tavano’s end-to-end NetSuite enhancement offerings.
