    I think CPQ had worked so well for our company because of the widespread nature of our associates and tracking orders that were being placed in multiple time zones. My team specifically needed a way of analyzing these orders to track our progress in real time and sort out any supply orders before they became an issue. If you are in a centralized location with a smaller team then this may not yield much use to you.

    Use it when you have a small workforce or handle most tasks alone. It's an ecosystem of relationships, and explaining the relationships between components can be hard for others. Like approval channels setup and how it affects invoice coding for approval. Better to separate these aspects between the admin and the clerk. Incredibly helpful in evaluating your workload and planning weekly check runs. Allows you to see far ahead what's coming down the pipeline and course-correct as appropriate. Seamless sync with QuickBooks. Great customer service, always responding promptly and on point.

    Pros
    Oracle
    • Leveraged automation to minimize headcount costs despite 10% year-over-year business growth, and enabled staff to focus on more strategic tasks.
    • Established a flexible CPQ system that scales on demand to easily accommodate the company’s multiple global locations.
    • Improved customer relations by reducing configuration time and allowing sales more time to meet with customers and close orders.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • Significant setup time, cost, and maintenance. We have to use an implementation partner
    • Does not always play well with other software, even Oracle software. While this is improved and being further improved, that it was a third party acquisition means things sometimes require a little extra care
    • Additional setup documentation and first walkthroughs would be helpful, especially if it was all in one place

    • I wish the export function allowed more options for the posting date of invoices. All invoices have the same posting date once they reach Sage 300, but this must be changed when they reach the transaction file. We should have the option of using the invoice date as the posting date or a selected date.

    So far it is all good with BigMachines, looking for new features since Oracle acquisition has created a lot of expectations. We have outlined our limitations (out of box functionality) in our periodic customer successor advice meetings for a while, hope we get a resolution soon. Also, the BigMachines user license fee has increased a lot in the last three years.

    At this time we don't really need to review the use of the program. In the future as we grow with new partnerships, purchases and expenses and revenue we may at some point look at reviewing our use but for now and the immediate future there is no need to review such

    Usability
    Oracle
    The software UI can be as complex or as simple as you need it to be (depending on the business). It does require training others on quote configuration and the order in which to build out order positions prior to configuring a quote. Once users are trained;however, it is fairly straight-forward. The UI is still more static than other new wizard/drag-and-drop models, but it get's the job done

    It's a fairly simple and easy to understand product. it is very intuitive. we were able to have our entire staff up and running within a week of our go live date with limited training required. Once everyone learned how to use it, there hasn't been any questions or errors. the layout is logical and the filtering options are quick and easy to use

    Support Rating
    Oracle
    Some specific support personal was good and fixed some problems fast using proper solutions. But when one of them went to sleep when we had critical issues and they do unreported commits to our production environment which caused issues and they were hiding it?? you can not give more than a two (maybe even that is too much). They also failed to add a feature for us which also bring the grade down.

    They have pretty good training. Our business analysts have been able to go to entry and advanced level training. They have a train the trainer model. Our business analyst attended training, then trained the rest of our staff.

    Implementation Rating
    Oracle
    It was a much more technical implementation than we thought. It involved much more code.

    Future releases have made and will make administering the tool easier.

    EDL consulting had one good developer, but when he was moved off, they were horrible to work with.

    The BMI sales team does a “BOA” or a “Business Operation Assessment” which is extremely valuable, not only for them to scope an implementation and get more reach within the organization, but it is also a documentation of business process that most organizations don’t have. It highlights inefficiencies and allows for correction during implementation.

    Having a dedicated team (in-house) for implementation is key

    Oracle engagement is ahead. They are active in the development of the tool and provide great support after implementation. They also listen to their customers and offer opportunities to feedback and provide input through activities like the customer advisory board forum.

    Return on Investment
    Oracle
    • Increased Sales Rep efficiency. Being able to create multiple quotes ACCURATELY and quickly was a game changer.
    • Large implementation time. It's a little difficult to fit BMI into a SCRUM style build, with multiple working models and prototypes of all 3 simultaneously.
    • A larger fee for licensing and implementation cost. ROI wouldn't be realized in the first year.

    • Saves manpower, but we don't track the numbers closely.
    • Improved transparency of approval and access to information.
    • Reliability and peace of mind.
    • Ease of operation
